Hello everybody.
I have been scouring everybody's BST threads, and my eyes are at the point where they are about to pop out of my head. So, while I continue looking through threads, I'm going to post this, too, and see if together my BST and searching can't get what I need. Let me first say that I am new. I am fully aware that I have to establish a reputation on the forum before people will feel comfortable in dealing with me, and I fully intend on building an outstanding reputation, and contributing to the community here. All I have to offer right now is the green stuff for what I need-as of about five weeks ago, I hadn't thought of Joes since I was about 14 or 15. But, it dawned on me that I needed a second hobby, and after reading up a little bit, and seeing the work some great artists have done customizing figures, I decided to jump back into collecting and modifying 3.75" Joes. I am friendly, and honest to a fault. While I don't have any feedback on toy forums yet, I have included my EBay profile below. Without exception, every seller I have done business with, across nearly 400 transactions, have noted that I am a pleasure to deal with. I pay immediately, answer questions, and I try to express appreciation to the people I interact with. I have also included my profile on Sports Card Forum (where I have a 100% feedback score on about 50 transactions), and my Net 54 Baseball forum profile (we do not do feedbacks there, but my signature includes a list of all the people I have had positive transactions with). My "the 'stache" user name on the baseball card forums is an homage to Rollie Fingers, a Brewers pitcher in the early 80s. If anybody has questions they'd like to ask before agreeing to a transaction, please feel free to contact me via PM. Unless there are forum rules I am unaware of that would prohibit doing so, I will send Paypal via friends & family. If you send me a message, I will always respond, though it might take up to a day or so, depending on how I am feeling (I am on permanent disability because of my back, and take pain medications, and sometimes muscle relaxers). Here, then, are the items and figures I am looking for. If you post here, or in a PM, please tell me what you are looking for for the items individually, together, and what your shipping costs are. Thank you! I prefer loose figures so long as they are in excellent condition, and complete/near complete. I will list any must include accessories w/ the figure. If filecards are included, great. If not, no biggie. They are by no means a deal breaker. Figures: 1. Airborne v3 (2008) 25th anniversary line. Looking for a complete figure, MoC or loose, so long as the figure is in great shape. Now, there are a bunch of guns that I am needing help with. My main character is a sniper, so I need some additional sniper rifles I do not have. 1.) Zap v3 (2004) rifle. This came in a classic comic trio with Grunt and Snake Eyes. Here's the figure Clicky The rifle is black. There is also a Tunnel Rat v4 (2003) gun with the same mold, though I believe it is brown. I would prefer the black rifle. (I have 1, would like 1 more) 2. Spirit Iron Knife (2011) v5. Love this rifle! (need 1) 3. Low-light (2011) v9. There are multiple versions of this rifle. One comes with Barrel Roll (2013) v4. It has brown custom paint. Another comes with Recondo (2010) v7. Edit: Still another comes with Outback (2014) v8 with lighter green on a dark gray gun, and one with Zartan v26 (2010) with army green detail. I would actually like to pick up 2-3 of these, if possible, as I will be running 2 snipers in my team (myself and Low Light). (Have 1, would like 2-3 more) 4. Cobra Trooper (2011/2014). Though this Dragunov sniper rifle has been appearing forever, the PoC, 30th and 50th anniversary Cobra Trooper have this particular version with the brown detailing on the grip and rifle barrel. It is this particular one that I want. I am looking for 2-3 of these, as well. I no longer need this. Thank you! 5. Snow Job (2010, 2014) v7 v8. This 50 cal sniper rifle comes with a bipod. I would like to get 2 of these if possible. (don't have any) 6. Black Out (2003) v1. This comes with a bipod. I love the look of this German made DSR Precision modular sniper rifle. I'd love 1 of these, 2 if possible. I need the bipod with the gun. This is a high priority weapon for my team! (I don't have any) 7. Cross Hair (2004) v3. The British made Accuracy International L96A1 Arctic Warfare sniper rifle is a real beauty. 1-2 of these. (have none) 8. Low-Light (2006) v6. The Barrett M-99 that Low-Light came with is really more of an anti-weaponry long range gun, and not a sniper rifle per se, though it could be used that way (that could be construed as overkill!). I have this one already, but would like another if feasible! (have 1, need 1 more) 9. Barrel Roll (2003) v1. This 700 M-1 bolt action sniper rifle is green in color. Czech Republic origin. I'd like 2 please. (have none, need 2) Now, there are a few non sniper rifle weapons I'd like, too. 10. Alley Viper (2013) v14, (2010) v13. I'm sure this sub machine comes with other figures, but this is the one I've seen it come with. I'd love this 2-3 of these. I think these would be great close-quarter tactical weapons. (have 1, need 2-3 more) 11. Snake Eyes (2013) v64. This came with the ninja duel Snake Eyes. I have the figure, and I can't tell you guys how many times I wish I had more. I'd like 3 more, 4 if I can get them. Love love love this weapon. (have 2, need 2 more) 12. Steel Brigade Delta v1 (2011). This bad ass rifle comes with a side-mounted flashlight. What good are night ops if you can't see? Sometimes infared gets old, and you want a good old fashioned light to see where you're gun is pointing. I LOVE this weapon, and would like to get 4-5 of these. Other figures that come with this weapon: Duke v39 "Infiltrator", troop builder (2009), Pit Commando v1 (2009). (I have 1, would like 3-4 more) Lastly, I'd like to add a few tactical vests. 13. Steel Brigade Delta (2011) v1. This figure came with the Vamp Mark II. A few of these. (don't have any) 14. Roadblock (2012) v22. A few of these. (have 1, need 2-3 more) Next, I'm looking for night vision goggles. These come with a variety of figures. My favorite is the troop builder version of Duke v39 (2009), infiltrator setup. All black. Another Duke, v33 (2009) which is a PoC figure (Duke is in a brown/camo outfit) comes with the same two piece. I would love to get 4-5 of these helmets. I am aware that at least one caster makes these. What I do not know, however, is how consistent the helmets and scopes are. Plus, I'd need to paint them. That will be the route I take if I can't get any here. Lastly, I have been searching, but have not found weapons that quite match these. I'm looking for a Remington 870 w/ 14" barrel (this is a police entry weapon), and a 10" version, which is more of a S.W.A.T. version. Here are pics: Suggestions on where I could pick these up? If anybody has them, I'd like to buy at least 1 of each. I'm aware that several Joes have Remington 870s, or as master key versions mounted under a rifle. But most of the Joes with Remington shotguns have the 18" MCS barrel. Thank you, guys! I am really looking forward to getting my team up and running, and I appreciate any help I may receive. Of course, if you have questions, need more information about me, or have something to sell, ask away here, or send me a private message! Bill Last edited by Sudden Death; 05-14-2015 at 12:06 AM.. |

If your looking for real world looking weapons, Marauder makes pretty much ( If NOT ALL , VERY CLOSE ) all the guns your looking for. and the details are 10 fold anything you will find in the g.i joe universe made by Hasbro.

Hi Crimson Death,
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my thread. I am aware of Marauder John's product line, and will be a big time supporter when his figure line goes live. The first time I saw them, I think I literally drooled. I'm going to buy multiple copies of each, keeping at least one original of each, and a few others for fodder to help me customize. They look amazing, and his efforts are going to open up customizing in a big way for me. Between their figures, and the new Joes coming to TRU in early August, I'll finally have access to the figures I need without paying an arm and a leg. I've also purchased guns from him before-two of the modular M4 carbine assault rifles, the Cheytac Intervention M200 sniper rifle, and some of his M16s. But I have not seen the majority of the weapons I have listed here to buy on his site, or on EBay. If I am missing something, please, point out where I should be looking. Marauders' site lists only the three sniper rifles-a 50 cal that appears to be a Barrett M82A1, the M200 I already have (in two versions, the pure black, which I opted for, and a custom-painted tan and black). Lastly, he has a Dragunov, which is one of the ones I am looking for, but I specifically want the factory painted version that comes with the Cobra Trooper. I am going to be placing an order to buy some weapons from him this week, one of which is a Dragunov, but until I am comfortable painting and using the sealant, I'm going to use pre-painted accessories. The rest I have not seen. As for assault rifles, I'm going to have to look again. I really like his FN FAL, which is one of the rifles I like for my paratroopers. The submachine gun that comes with the Snake Eyes, I have no idea what that is. But I like it. |

I think that Steel Brigade Delta's vest is also packe with Pursuit of Cobra (POC) Beachhead.

By the way, everybody, the other rifle that I couldn't find, the one that is more of a pure army green in detail, belongs to Zartan (2010) v26 of all people. That makes four versions that I know of: the green that comes with the Night Viper v4, the red with Night Viper v5, the gray-detailed one that comes with Black Out v2, and then this one: So, I will add this one to the want list, big time. If you have any of these weapons for sale, please contact me. Thank you for looking! I'm looking forward to starting work on my team! |

I no longer need the three figures. One, I found on EBay for a pretty good price, the other two Slaymaker was good enough to sell me. I'll look to add some more figures towards the end of the month. For now, I am focusing on getting the gear for my team.
If you have any of the guns or gear listed here, please contact me. Again, I'm fairly new to the whole GI Joe thing, having only started collecting a month ago (after not having a single figure since I was 14). So, I don't have anything of trade value. But if you guys would be good enough to help me out, I will pay competitive amounts in cash. Paypal friends & family. Thank you! Bill |
