Purge valve
Gas nozzles x2
Tow hook

Biggest problems are broken mast, broken fuel tanker wheel, missing sound system and missing Keel-Haul figure. Hard to tell , but looks like both bulk head doors are intact.

In short, it is a VERY, VERY good starting point for restoration. I didn't realize prices had gone up so much on original parts in the almost 10 years since I 100% completed mine. Do not sell your Flagg short.

It's crazy how much the prices went up on vintage Joes. I started restoring the vintage ARAH line around 2008. Took a break for a year or so around 2015 and came back last year and now I could never afford to do now what I did ten years ago.

Tell me about it! The other day I was looking over my collection and trying to remember where/when I acquired my Snow Cat. It jolted my memory and I remembered a small vintage collecting phase I went through in 2006 for a few months. That was a fun time to be a collector - certainly a buyer's market back then. I'd guess that Joe market starting experiencing inflation in 2016/2017 with no signs of the bubble bursting in the next few years.
