Jason1145 3986 Posted March 31, 2019 On the hunt for a new project and in need of a main chassis for a Striker or Sonic Fighter that needs restoration... also requiring a Sonic Fighter top cockpit. I think I've got most spare parts to fill in the gaps but anything on offer will be gratefully considered... UK only please. Usually @Tamiyabigstuff or @taffer chips in at this point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taffer 948 Posted May 7, 2019 You didn't fancy the bodyset on the bay then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taffer 948 Posted May 7, 2019 £165 inc Norway shipping (£45 shipping), shipping should be cheaper than that? Over £100 still means you have to be really keen to purchase? When the tiniest threat of a re-release is hanging over costly parts like these, sometimes it's best to keep waiting? If a Manta Ray re-re can be bought for £109 ish then a striker/sonic re-re has got to be a similar price ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason1145 3986 Posted May 8, 2019 I agree and no I'm not that keen to buy lol... lucky we are patient then eh? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taffer 948 Posted May 8, 2019 Yes I won't believe it won't happen! ;-) You could argue a case for it to be released as a Striker-CB , but be exactly the same! 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I did thanks but he won't post then and they need collecting, he is over 100 miles away so I'm considering asking other members in his area for a collection 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swarm 242 Posted May 19, 2019 I’ve got a whole sonic fighter kit for sale - but a bit pricey to post to the UK That one in the link looks cracked makes me wonder if it’s brittle . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We will see. I bought the last one he had listed and it arrived in good shape. It is indeed cracked and not in a spot that can be easily repaired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
