Well, since im back into collecting Joes again, taking a break from other hobbies and such. So even before Joes, i was always fascinated with Attack helicopters and always like the Dragonfly/Locust cause it was based off of the Cobra attack helicopter that was used for ground support in Vietnam. Just something about that helicopter that looks mean and armed to the teeth and over 40 years of support for USMC you cant beat it. So, ive started my journey to find either the Dragonfly or Locust (same thing different color).
I managed to contact someone that has 2 Dragonfly/Locust helicopter MISB for around $25.00 each and I didnt think thats a bad deal and wanted some input on this version and compare it the 83 Dragonfly? |

made of modern plastic. everything else about it is awesome IMHO $25 isn't a bad price for something that is 10 years old. I'd would buy them both if I saw them for sale that cheap mib

Very nice vehicle. Seems a bit sturdier than the original. Otherwide, no major changes.

They are pretty much the same except for the color. Nothing significant after that. For $25, it's worth it.

never had either, and i would buy like 7 at the price of 25. i wanted the old one, but decided, it's way to old, and all i ever see is droopy blades. if there was a way to pump some stiff nights in the blades, i would get the classic, but i wanted the tan one since the day i first saw it. definiely get em, because i would..
