. . . yes, I know it's not Action Force, but wondered if anyone on here has a spare left rear (looking from the front) thruster for a Snowspeeder - the thruster behind the battery compartment. Just dug my old one out and it's missing that bit sadly (and looks quite discoloured now) :-(

I have a spare Snowspeeder missing some parts but not yellowed if you wanted to transplant your parts on to it. Unfortunatley I don't have the part you are after.
I think you are after one of these:

I have picked up alot of Star Wars spares and will be posting pics on here before I sell them on ebay.

Are thier supposed to be left & right handed ones?
Both of mine (original from the box) are exactly the same, mind you this is Palitoy's legendary quality control we're talking about here.

Remember the quality control statement on the instruction sheets: "We really do(n't) care!"

Well, the spare I bought doesn't fit where I want it. I think the notches on the edge will be on opposite sides T'shot?
