Yeah never seen the set in stores at all. But I needed the part so I actively sought it out for awhile until I was able to pullthe trigger. Let me check with Avacs lab if this thing can be casted he can do it. Ill gladly send it out to him so he can get it in his store.

Back in 08 I had picked up the set with radioactive SE, Stalker, cobra trooper, and it had the main computer part. Dont know where it got itself now, but I hate looking at MASS Devices on ebay that $100+ if someone made a cast or a 3D printed one at a reasonable price Id buy and paint it.

I have it complete. Most of it I found in the store. The beam emmiter was a birthday gift from a friend who tracked it down loose off ebay. Back then it was probaby much cheaper than it is now. I don't do much with modern era figures anymore but the mass device fits in really well with my o-ring cobras.

If I had that MASS Device I would be SOOOOOO happy.

Note that my original plan for the 3D-modeled barrel I'm producing was to try a home-made print before paying for a professional print...however, I don't own a printer anymore at the immediate moment, so that plan is on hold. (My work on the barrel model will continue, though.)

still baffles me that hasbro reissued that set without that piece.
I mean I know people were upset that they couldn't get an alpine, but why they re-issued the other figures in that set, and not the piece proves that they listen to us, but completely missed the point. bananas. I actually saw three of these sets in the wild. grabbed one for me, and then went back and picked up one for a friend. saw the third for $5 clearance at target and passed. I didn't realized how rare they were, and when I did, it was gone. oh well. hopefully a good tanker got it. |

Yes, I bought and returned 7 of those sets, and emailed Hasbro every single time one of the figures broke, but I still went back for #8. I know a local collectible shop that still has it in stock...I haven't ruled out hoping 9th time's the charm. ...Sorry, I'm still pretty touchy about that whole thing. I was actually kind of looking forward to that set in particular, since I missed the original set the first time 'round. But even if they did include that piece with the reissue set, they'd almost certainly have to reissue the other 4 pieces somehow, or people who missed out on the 25th sets would complain. So there really wasn't any winning proposition there.

Maybe it was easier to find in Canada? My small town doesn't carry much for toys so I usually have to travel 100 miles to a close city or use the net. I couldn't find it in the wild though and I paid $75-80 for the set. I know of another person in my town that has the 5 sets still in boxes and he got them from brick and mortar. Didn't realize it was that difficult to find especially if I was able to get it. Luck I guess.

So thankful I was able to buy all 5 sets at retail when they were released. The MASS device is a nice piece.

I would happily produce the Emitter Beam, I've been wanting to for a while. I have several put together, as I found them easy enough. The piece would be ridiculously super easy to cast. Casting it isn't the problem, it's matching the odd grey murky color and sheen. I stopped doing vehicle and playset parts just because I loathe matching colors. I'd rather get a root canal or worse than waste time and materials doing such a menial task. If, like I explained to truejoe, a person did not mind getting the piece in a grey and then "rattle canning" the whole thing to match as one, then I would do it. The crystal piece is easy of course, that would still be clear. FYI, please don't pm me wanting to get one, I am not chiming in to take orders on this or saying I'm doing it just yet. Just adding my two cents. :P I have enough things to cast for people now, but If I do one, then I will make it known through the proper channels per site rules.

I got lucky and was able to purchase the entire device on ebay along with Serpentor's air chariot, and Armadillo, and a Trouble Bubble in a lot.
I think I paid $15 for it all. Whoever the seller was probably just wanted the figures and not the parts and vehicles.
