I was talking to a guy on Craigslist & a guy from this board. They both had Defiants for sale. And neither of them would give me a price. They both said "make an offer". I told them whenever I make an offer I start low expecting the seller to make a counter offer but instead I never hear from them again. They still asked how much I'm willing to pay. *sigh* Ok, I said I was hoping to find a loose one for between $400-$500.
I never heard from either of them again. Seriously! No counter offer, no negotiation, no nothin. I waited a couple days & got pissed off so I searched Craigslist again. Only 4 hours before I searched a guy in New Mexico listed this: 1987 GI JOE Defiant Space Vehicle Launch Complex Oh yeah!!! So I immediately shot him an email. We talked it over, made the deal & it arrived today. It's in beautiful shape. Almost 100% complete & the crank works. I was shocked to see all the blueprints & directions in mint condition in a folder. And Hardtop's gun & mic. And the 2 tiny handles for Payloads backpack were there. (I bought a Crusader off ebay listed as 100% complete but those handles weren't included.) The only problems are: 1. 1 red turret is missing. 2. 1 red turret's cannons snapped off so they need to be repaired. 3. 1 black post that holds the red cannons on the top is missing. 4. Umbilical cord is missing. (But I have the Crusader's so whatever) So in the end I'm glad those guys never replied. Not bad for $115. I offered the guy an extra to cover Paypal costs so I paid a total of $245 with UPS shipping. I was worried sick about it being broken during shipping but he packed it well & it got here with no problems. And 1 day ahead of schedule.

Congrats! I wish I have one too. Usually when they say make me an offer means I want you to pay me double the market price.

*cries a little*.. JK Awesome for you bro! I hope someday to reclaim that part of my childhood, when I have space and money.
When I was a kids I had both the Defiant and the Mobile Command Center. Never a Flagg or TD though.

I only had the Terrordrome. I wanted the Defiant but never wanted the FLAGG, (too big). I still don't want the FLAGG but I might get the Terrordrome back someday. I also want the Mobile Command Center. |
