All of the interior restraint bars were also missing. I ended up buying a second Warthog with the missing parts and a decent hull just to complete it. I think I ended up spending about $130 all told (also without Slaughter), not including repro stickers to replace the originals.
Crummy, but it happens when you can't inspect used items in person before buying them.
I appreciate your consolation. Sorry to hear about your experience, it’s crummy to find stuff broken and missing. I actually spent so much time inspecting the tabs in the photos to make sure they weren’t broken that I totally missed the wheels, ugh. If the vehicle tabs are broken when they arrive, I will return it, since the missiles have a free return also. I’m still considering if I want to fork out for repro stickers since that’s going to push the price up another $20. The stickers look to be in decent condition, and aligned well, just placed in the wrong places… seems like whoever put them on completely disregarded the vehicles original design and decided to go with their own vision.
I guess I’m just a little bummed because I dragged my feet in a near complete Warthog (only missing antenna) with Slaughter and box for $85 a few weeks ago, and now they’re all going for around $100 or more near complete without Slaughter. Oh well, that’s life… just hope this thing arrives unbroken.
