It's either a Type 3 or Type 4 (it has a Round Microphone shape rather than the Long Microphone shape) - but without the paintwork, we have no idea! (Type 3 has dark paint on the upper part of the crotch, Type 4 has dark paint on the lower)

Value? No clue! Difficult to predict - sometimes they go for lots of money, sometimes not so much.

Cool. Is this a test/first shot?

No idea on value...as Hopper says bit of guesswork. Things seem to be going for silly money at the moment.

The first shots i bought years back were £15 each.

Id be interested if you wanted to sell...id pay more than £15.

very nice..


Off topic rant :-p

Ironically when people say things are going for silly money, I see the same 3 highest bidders on ebay each time (paying the silly money) :-)

In no particular order: Cossbay_pirate, LDR and Boonsart... if you 3 came to some sort of gentleman's agreement then prices wouldn't be so silly... your just outbidding each other all the time haha

Lol...well i dont seem to win much!

and i didn't win much at Vectis with all those metal prototypes.

But agreed if no-one bid for anything then prices wouldn't go silly!

I think it more like where there's a huge void between the 2nd and 3rd bidders price, those are the ones I mean.. Let's face it everyone spots everything on eBay/vectis and the pool of bidders that pay high prices is quite small, so unfortunately we are all running each other up lol

I would say the first shot Ground Assault would easily be £30 or more and while we are discussing silly money, who is t***b( 4718) as always raises the bids on every Roboskull and battles against his arch rival s***m (935). These fellow addicts have thankfully saved my money loads of times by outbidding me.
