Laser Exterminator bits?

[Crimson Rage]

Right now I'm missing the console and short support leg. I've only just started out collecting so don't have anything to trade, but would be willing to buy these items (paypal, cheque, cash even?) if someone can help.
I don't know if the LE is rare complete so have no notion how hard these bits are to find, but maybe I'll get lucky and someone has a few spares lying around (you never know!!!).

Have a set of Red Shadows for £100 on the sales forum. Including the parts you need for the cannon, damaged shadow tank, damaged hyena, black majors, baron, kraken, muton, shadows, vultures and a escape armour.

let me know if interested before they go.

Well I've had no offers elsewhere, so if you didn't mind splitting off the two pieces I mentioned from your collection I'd certainly have them, and I'd be willing to pay around £15 (plus postage of course) for the two - Maybe that's too much, but I'm desperate (anything for a complete Exterminator!).

If it isn't enough (I am new to Palitoy collecting so have little idea about prices), I welcome reasonable counter-offers!;)

In my tradelist prices for spare parts range from 50p to around a quid each. Rare items are of course more expensive. The suport leg is one of those rare items. 90% of Laser Exterminators I have come across have this part missing. The computer is also missing quite often. If both parts are missing I consider the item to be a junker. It is easier to buy a complete one that start searching for these parts.

I don't have the parts you desire at the moment, but to give you an indication about your offering: for 15 quid I would be more than willing to supply you with a complete Laser Exterminator. That is, if I had one lieing around.

[Crimson Rage]

Ah, thank you LJ.
I've made the offer so will stand by it. It's up to MJY as to whether they're willing to split their goodies or not (and, depending on where they live how much postage is wanted!). If not then it's probably easier if I start searching for a new Laser Exterminator (my is standing around feeling pretty redundant at the moment!)

Lady Jaye is exactly right, it is cheaper to just buy a new, complete [albeit without the figure] toy than to offer £15 for the parts.

You might spend 6 months chasing those 2 parts, when you will probably be able to just buy a complete Laser Exterminator within a month or two for well within £15. The toy is very common.

[Crimson Rage]

Thanks for all the input.
I honestly don't mind paying a bit over the odds to get my LE completed - It's in such nice shape otherwise that it's frustrating not having the two componants i need. I check Ebay just about every day and see them in some condition or other. Prices range from £4 (for one that's in the same boat as mine, parts wise) right up to a boxed version for £160... :O

The only happy medium I've seen is one for £40, with box, complete and with a crotchless Red Laser. I already have a mint RL so that would be a waste.
I'll see what MJY says and if it's a 'no' then I'll go a-huntin'.

I may have a spare scope, and possibly a leg. It may take me a while to check as I'm not sure whether they are spare, or had come off mine and gone into the wrong box! Let me know if you dont get any joy for the other two, and I will check when I get a chance?

Hey there! MJY hasn't replied to my offer, so I'd be grateful if you could have a 'root around' at some point. As I've just got myself a Shadowtrak I need something for it to tow now - My Laser Exterminator is just sitting there useless without it's contrivances!!

[SteveD]

Just been having a rummage and it seems they are off mine and had got mixed in with the spares parts. Sorry! Left the loft in total chaos in readiness for a long overdue sort out tomorrow, so if there's any change I'll let you know but at the moment they're not looking like spares.
