Ironblood, the $20 includes shipping (That makes it a little better...)
Also, he generally sells 5 figures for $80 for the people who want to build armies

Well putting it that way aire that's not too bad. I would love to have the pictured unit with Red Laser in the link for $20. I can dream though eh?

I'm bidding on some of this guys bootlegs at the moment, so if I win the ones I've bid on I'd propose to approach him (he's a decent lad as far as I can see as I've dealt with him a few times in the past) about a sale of the Shadow-esq Cobra Troopers to add some to my order.
If anyone is interested in one or two let me know, as I'd likely have to buy the 5 at $80, but it would mean if people just want one or two for the collection we can team up and split the costs?

Makes you wonder why Hasbro, who are past masters @ repaints & re-using of figure components, haven't done something like this before with

&

's in the past when it comes to camo' schemes..

They did Viper repaints instead ed all of which I thought were terrible.

I did have a chat with him when I bought my last lot of bootlegs off him jamar and told him to join up, but no sign yet! He's got a nice looking af collection and gies by the name black major, so he should be here!!! It's no doubt get him dome sales too! I've just bought from him a large lot with one of each bootleg in, so will have one or two of the duplicated ones for sale soon I expect.

Well I didn't win teh auction, but have been chatting with this guy and he's offered that if we wanted over 50 of teh Red Shadow style ones he'd be able to do us a deal and sell them to us at cost. He apparently lurks around here, and is a big fan of the AF!!
I was toying with the idea of getting all 50 myself, recasting teh Shad heads for series 3 and passing them on as Custom Shads, but I'm not in a position to commit to that at the moment, so was wondering if anyone else was interested in joining with me to get sonme from him? I cant confirm the exact price they would be yet, as we would need to confirm that with him, but if anyone is interested in joining a "Buying Consortium" with me PM me and we can see if we can get together enough of us to get 50 sent?
I'll likely be recasting that series 3 Shadow head later this year anyway, and am planning on restarting the Shadow Bazookas up ready for sale, so they will be an easy conversion for anyone who wants a little Shad Bootleg army, or even if you just want one or two?

I now have a price for these if we can get together a big enough order. So as not to affect his other sales please pm me if you're interested?
