I got all the pieces at Walmart when they came out.

I bought all the sets off ebay. If I want something bad enough I just get it. I actually had two of each and just sold off duplicate sets a year ago.
Shipeshape1983 should be playing the lottery. $15 for all that is a steal. |

I didn't have any trouble finding all of the pieces in 2008. I guess I never realized how lucky I was. I know I bought 1 of the sets at Forbidden Planet, and the rest at BBTS, but not sure if it was the set with the cannon. Plus at the time the TRU at Times Square as a flagship location so it's possible I had access to more items than the regular TRUs. That location was great for TF MPs, Prime, Thudercracker, Soundwave were abundant there.
Sorry to hear how many incomplete MASS Devices there are out there. It's one of the things that Hasbro did right with the brand. I rememebr running home from school to catch the MASS mini series when it first aired. When they made it in 2008 I was impressed with Hasbro for going for it. I guess distribution could have been better.

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.

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.

I lucked out and got the last 3 DVD sets on clearance when they hit Marshalls a year or so after they first came out.

It appears Hasbro is not without a sense of irony. ;)

Since you mentioned it...
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ml#post4964048 ...I, for one, never got the whole thing, so I was working on the missing part--the barrel, which is the rarest. The other components you mentioned were far more common, but I never considered them "part" of the M.A.S.S. Device itself (even the element tubes). I'm not sure how public opinion on "completeness" goes. I can definitely say that most people didn't get the barrel, though. During this time, most of the Wal Mart stores around me had stopped carrying Joes and Marvel Universe.
