I only have been there once - the Iowa Con...does anyone know if he has broken vehicles for parts? I am looking for just the cockpit of a snowcat for a custom...I found on on eBay for $.99 but liek $10 shipping. I'd rather spend that in gas and go to Des Moines than pay to ship a broken vehicle I am gonna butcher even more.

Jay probably has a boat load of old vehicles and parts for Joes that might not be out for display. I actually bought my Defiant from him a couple years back. He allowed me to pick through two Defiant lots that he had, and make one as complete as I could. I got pretty close, missing only a few of the hard-to-come-by pieces. And he didn't charge me eBay prices, although he could have. If i were you, I'd just try to catch him sometime when he's working to see what he has in the back, if anything.

On a side note... Does anybody know where to get a Renegades Storm Shadow for less than forty bucks? That's the only one I'm missing now, thanks to the HTS.com Wave 10 pre-order from yesterday. I can't find any online retailers selling them as a single card, and on eBay, they're going for over $35. Wild...

I got mine from BBTS, and I have not seen one in the wild yet.

I often help sort through Joe stuff in the back and can say that he has tons of random parts to figures and vehicles. I'll be there tomorrow, and can see if he has any spare Snowcats. In fact I've even got a Snow Cat shell you can have, but its in rough shape. If you want I can send you a pic. What type of condition are you looking for since it'd be for a custom?

I only need where the driver and passenger seat are intact. I am going to try to update Captain America truck so it doesn't have a driver in the center, but rather 2 seats instead.

Here's what I got. It's yours if you want it, no charge!

[Slaymaker]

That will work for sure! Thanks! Anything you are looking for? Do you customize and need any fodder?

[jogunwarrior]

I'm always customizing and any ARAH fodder would be sweet!

I know Jay is a big GI Joe fan, so that might help convince him to pick up a few cases for us all. Dunno...

I haven't been to Jay's all that much since "Assembly Required" (Having a 4 month old will have that effect on you). I've never really asked him about ordering direct but I think I will next time I'm in. I think he'd be a little more willing to do this if he had some idea of how many guys were interested.

Sweet. Glad J(ogunwarrior) could hook you up. Two good customizers making it work!

I picked up some great figures and accessories yesterday a a great price!
I asked him about ordering new figs from Hasbro, and he has two general concerns: one is the price he'd have to charge would be a few dollars more than general retail, and that people may be interested in one or two figures leaving him with a bunch of peg warmers. This doesn't mean it's out of the question though if enough of us ask for it!
