What I have here is a grail that I have been piecing together for several years. I hate to see it go, but I do not have room for it anymore. I normally don't come here to hisstank much anymore as I spend most of my time at sideshowcollectors.com where my username is jrice73. I have over 60 plus positive transactions with no negative feedback on there and I go by username leefc73 on ebay and I have 25 positive feedbacks with no negative ones. I am putting this here for you to take a look at as this is best possible place for exposure to Joe collectors that I could possibly want in terms of selling this Defiant complex. I am wanting $400 plus shipping in the US but I am open for offers.
This is a nearly fully restored Hasbro 1987 GI Joe Defiant Space Shuttle Complex. It is technically missing one part and one part only--the revolving airlock door that goes in the space station booster. A reproduction airhose for Payload is included. The original is not here. It is also missing the original decal placement sheets but facsimiles are provided. Hardtop figure is NOT included. Now this does not mean that some of these parts are not broken or chipped. Specifically, the left blue hangar complex door on the crawler has a small chip missing on top and both hangar doors' hinges where the four red cannon emplacements go are broken. The crawler front canopy window is a little warped also. Crawler wheels are in good condition but one set had to be glued back on underneath since it broke years ago. Gantry system to raise shuttle works but is very slow going and I would recommend taking station/booster and shuttle off before raising it. Defiant shuttle's canopy hinges are broken but canopy could be replaced if you could find one that is in great condition and unbroken. Crawler/gantry, station and shuttle are discolored and yellowed from age but parts are in outstanding condition for how old they are with hardly any wear or tear. These are the only flaws. If you can find new hangar doors that are unbroken, you will be in business. Now on to what makes this baby beautiful. Payload figure with MMU is included with reproduction hose. Payload's joints are a little loose but otherwise figure is in great condition as is helmet, MMU and hose. All crawler parts are there with some guns a little discolored from age. Crawler/gantry has intact elevators that go up and down. Station/booster has all parts. No laser cannons are broken and everything is there except the revolving airlock door. Defiant shuttle is in amazing condition. All fins can come off the shuttle and are in good shape and are unbroken, including middle fin though it was repaired with super glue. Shuttle bay doors were replaced with unbroken ones but the broken ones are included for replacements. There is no dust, dirt or grime on this Defiant complex. When I got it years ago, I cleaned it with soap and water and used Goo Gone solvent remover to remove old decals. It was given several good cleanings. Then once all parts were clean and dried, parts were inspected. Some were thrown out and replaced. Only a very few were repaired. Then once I knew the parts were solid, I applied reproduction stickers from Cobrastickers.com and made it shine. This is over four years worth of work here. Defiant complex has been boxed and no dust is on it. And of course original blueprint instructions are included. Payload and Hardtop file cards are not included. I will take this apart and box each component--crawler, booster, and shuttle--in their own boxes with all small parts such as guns put in ziplock bags. Shipping for the USA only. Please give this a good home. https://www.flickr.com/photos/897162...7645897528231/ PHOTO ALBUM Last edited by theprofessor; 07-31-2014 at 10:51 PM.. |
