thats because I never seem to be able to compile a big order - always lots of small pieces from different suppliers. It might also be an indication of having toooooo many projects on the go at one time ;)

An Aquaroll mains adapter and 2Gb memory for my PC, nothing RC related, but i have just bought 2 sets of NIP R parts for the Falcon (front shock mounts) for £15 each, to keep it related :)

No idea if it was a good deal until they arrive from across the globe, but knowing how rare they are new and how often people ask for them i may keep one set to build up a NIP Falcon over time, and one to keep in the spares drawer.

As i have 2 original Falcon bodysets and original decals i may start looking for cheap NIP items over time, no rush and it will NOT be a runner if i ever complete it!

More Madcap parts arrived today :) Also received all the parts I need to build a TTC drive-train for my Kingcab. :D

Picked up all the TTC parts for a little over $50aus, not bad since the nib kits are going for $200+. I already have the screws, press nuts & mounting bars.

No mate, that's the only part I'm missing. :( I don't need it to run the TTC but I would prefer to get one. I have new spare spur & pinions to compensate but I'm thinking of keeping them till I find that gear cover.

This has been the happiest Valentine's Day I have ever spent while single! Many thanks to TC member Mikkelsen for giving me this beauty at an equally-gorgeous price! Included with this package was a full original decal set and manual.

Absolutely floored with this one! This will be a slower project; we will see where it goes...

My Vajra (contraversial) and shock mounts and drive shafts for one of my dagger projects.

(having trouble posting pics directly)

I think the "damaged box discount" may well be a way to move some stock-not a mark on it.

I like it a lot!

thanks for giving us a flash of your vajra :lol::ph34r: , enjoy! ;)
