Great work! I am warming up to acquiring one of those myself!

Looks really good. I finished restoring a TTBP recently as well(lord the guns were costly). Here's my Stimulus check haul over the past couple of weeks(had to do some repairs on the Cobra Commander and Lt. Falcon, but broken figs are cheaper and easy to put new o-rings in). There is a vintage toy store a block from where I live in Cincinnati(Smiley's Dolls and Toys) that is amazing and where I got the Big Boa/Scifi/Roadblock/Beachhead from. If you ever come through Cincy, check it out. It's an explosion of nostalgia. The rest are from Ebay.

I've just bought two incomplete TTBPs that, between them, should get me about 90% of the original parts for one. Still missing the ramp legs, gun rack, and rifles. I can live without the rifles (will just put in random spare accessories). I may also have to order some repro stickers. I'll make a decision on that once the items arrive.
The extra that's been stripped down will go to my son. Hopefully it will still have enough of the core parts that he finds it playable. |

Sadly, I don't have an extra antenna (looks to me like it's the exact same antenna from the '83 Headquarters), but I will gladly purchase some parts from you. Or maybe we can find something else to trade. My own TTBP is very close to being complete now (pic below). I don't expect or need my son's to ever be complete, but it's missing a few important pieces that he's whining about. I spent most of the night tonight scouring eBay. The one thing nobody seem to have (short of spending the money to buy a complete Battle Platform) is the lower base part of the missile launcher. I'm going to need some repro stickers next. Are Toyhax and Rattler Repros still the best options for that? I thought there was maybe a third option but I can't remember it for the life of me. |

If you go with Rattler Repros, be sure to set aside some time. Cutting out and placing all those little stickers took me about 1/2 day. |

There have been some third options in the past, but I'm not sure there's a good third option at the moment. Toyhax is great and I generally get my order in about 2 weeks. With Rattler Repros, the turnaround time is about 2 months but I haven't tried their quicker shipping option.

I really like Toyhax but the shipping can be a little slow.
