I can understand that
.
I have had many occasions when there is something I want to get hold of (normally Vulkan Battlesuits) and they either get sold, or I see them shown off as finished products.
I have a couple of the Xabungle Trad11 mechs in 1/144th scale that I want to convert BUT, I am a bit wary because they really are difficult to get hold of now...and I don't want to mess them up.
The Regult Pods are still pretty frequent visitors to E-Bay... it just depends on whether you can afford them or not. Over the weekend, I even saw a set of 3 Nichimo 1/200 kits (each box containing 2 kits): Glaug, large missile regult and small missile regult and if it wasn't for the £75-00 price tag (£44-00 of that was postage from US to UK
), I would have snapped them up...but alas, an hour after I spotted them they were gone so I never had the chance to even think about it.
As an aside, the troops that are being painted to go with my pods are really getting there. There shouldn't be too much more to go on them so I think there will be some pix by the end of the week...then I'll start the pods (I may under-coat them while the troops are drying...).
