The Repeater figure was awesome. I wonder why they never used it again in the U.S. after Night Force? Repeater was great.
Anyone know where I can get an Urzor or Retaguarda? I would really appreciate it.

Alright, I just put a "Want it Now" add on evilBay. I didn't want to do that, but I need this figure. I would much rather deal directly with a Tanker. Can anybody help me out?

Repeater is pretty cool looking.
I actually liked his gun, the way it was set-up made alot of sense for a heavy machine gunner. The support frame and counterweights made it seem more realistic that a guy could stnad up, hold and fire a heavy machine gun (not like those double barrled gatling guns of Rock 'n Rolls). Now I don't know of the physics of it actually work, but it was cool idea.

Yeah, I've always thought that Repeater had the best "set-up" of any of the Machine Gunners. Plus you could sort of fold the whole rig up and put it behind him.
Not to mention that his Camo Pattern and uniform were one of the best they ever made... and he was an Airborne Ranger. He was always one of my favorites. I would really like to get Urzor and use him as a second Machine Gunner for my Ranger Detachment, maybe rename him "Tracer" or something from a place like El Paso or Santa Fe. I use Repeater with Night Force. C'mon, guys. Anybody got an Urzor that they'd be willing to sell?

When you do find and Urzor (be patient, as they do turn up 3 or 4 times a year) be sure to buy him complete. The animals are all impossible, and his weapon in specific is impossible. It's the same rifle that came with the US version of Spearhead, but in a medium purple. I grabbed mine about 6 years ago from a seller in Germany with cardback for about $40 with shipping, so keep looking.
On a side note, I'll be making an Urzor using the molds I just finished for a 25th style figure. Just for grins. |

Of the two, Retaguarda is much more rare. I only know of a handful of them to be in the US. Urzors are much easier to find. Up until around 2002, they routinely sold for under $30 for a MOC figure and were rather plentiful. I got mine by buying a MOC set and opening it since they were so cheap. Your best bet is either Ebay or finding a Brazilian seller who will work with you.
