Woo hoo. Got Storm Shadow V1 for 5 pounds 50. If the seller had put "Storm Shadow in sh*t hot condition, complete" in the listing title I probably wouldn't have had a hope. Also helped that it finished at 8am Aussie time and my sniper finger was ready.
However, some bugger called Gaucho-Jammer pipped me on some Mutt, Wave 1 and Q force parts from the same seller. To top it off I had forgotten I had bid on a Z Battle tank on the weekend, I noticed I have now joined the elite, having been soundly beaten by JohnIjoe. BASTARD.
Alls fair in love and war..... Here is Stormie..
Woooohooooo
PS Better pull my head in now, I've spent all my cash this month and the Wife is getting tetchy.

Actually it was a misquote, it was listed as a "Plastic Tiger Force Ninja". As George Orwell would say, Ignorance is bliss. I've seen ones in worse condition going for lots more. Very happy, just have to get the fraker here now.
JohnIjoe is still syphoning up all the Shads by the bucket load too I see.

Yep, it must be terribly inconvenient for the poor lad when we keep bidding against him.

If I knew he was bidding, I wouldn't bother.
BTW Baron, I got a 4 figure lot last week from the guy with the lucky dip auction. Wave 1 Commando, Z Trooper, Wheels and Tracker. All in awesome condition tho the Commando had a slightly bent foot, reminiscent of Bendy. I thought that was actually quite cool I was going to put him up a tree for a few years.

Nice stormie chopper! I know a man who may be able to help with any missing weapons in weeks to come (no, not me!).
I might be mistaken, but his elbow joints look, well, big. Did they do a straight arm stormshadow?

Wrong thread I think Baron. But no, it was just an auction by the same guy. Steve, is that you're mystery source? I've nearly repaired all the figures, then I'm moving on to weapons etc, so that would be good.

I'm afraid not mate - he's too mysterious for my liking!
