Reduced to Clear:

£175 Inclusive of UK shipping

12 Apr: Checked it today and realised that it's suffering from an inherent design problem in that a few of the tiny little pins that the hoses attach to have 'bent off' over time. All hoses are present though and a little superglue should fix them. I believe you can also re-pin them and I'm sure I've read about that somewhere online. I wouldn't be surprised if on disassembly that a few more break off but it's simply a design fault, not due to any rough handling. Hence price reduction.

Otherwise, apart from a little dust, it's complete. Smile

Hi Eagle

If easy to fix.... why not you fix them or strengthen them and also remove the dust?. Then you may be able to sell it for more or say it is all repaired as good as new.
Just a suggestion. Cool I am sure you thought of that already, plus there is the time factor etc. I guess that is involved. Hard to say on my part as I have not seen any close up pics of what you are talking about..... on the ebay advert(if there is an ebay advert for it that is)...some pics of the problem?

Looks like a pretty cool price though. The Powerloader looks awesome. Hope you sell it. Wouldn't mind the all metal pulse rifle you have Twisted Evil

Thanks but no time really.

Boxed this up this morning and all of the hose connection pins on the carapace back have sheared-off. A few of the hoses have also 'come away' (not broken) from their connectors elsewhere. One of the leg actuators' securing pins has sheared.

Gutted. Sad

Despite the above, this is still very fixable for even a half-way competent modeller and I'm now selling this at a bargain price of:

£150 shipped in the UK.
