Don't forget about the 2 orange windshields, I'm having a helluva time finding the one I need.

I just noticed this on e-bay. It may help you get an idea of how much the one you are looking at is worth

Well it does have the revolving door which is a good thing (Although it looks like one of the pegs may be broken off or just hidden by the angle of the pictures)
Looks like you're missing a couple of the gates that go on the inside of the blue doors (I have some spares of those from when I was rebuilding a Defiant) My opinion, I would talk the guy down to $150 or so. I will say though that I'm a bit of a cheapskate so I don't know if that's a fair price for it. |

The more I look at the pics I'm starting to realize that it's got most of the parts I'm missing. Did you happen to check if it raises into launch position? If it does I say go for it, and like Shogi said, try and talk the price down, it can't hurt. Good luck man.

I have the defiant complex and the pieces are very difficult to find. Mine is 95 percent complete and i have never seen the parts i need. The primary thing is making sure the shuttle will elevate into the launch position. If the mechanics are busted you might as well hang it up. No matter what anyone says this is the hardest set to own and maintain. It's parts are rare and expensive. Take that into account when you purchase.

Thanks for the replies guys. I am going to sit on this for a few days and think it over. I searched ebay and I found a few parts that I will need. Does anyone know if they make repro stickers for the shuttle? The first thing I would do before I repaired it is to 1-clean it real good 2-strip the stickers off and 3-conduct a parts list for ebay. The one cool thing about this is I can pay over time.
