Well Duh, the Night Raven doesn't even come with a Drone. Haven't you been to Target lately? lol

Good idea, especially for smaller stuff like this.

And I think it's Alyosha's site that not only has flag deck pins & y-pins, but also vertical vanes for the WHALE hovercraft.

I'd like to see fixes to the silver mirage so it could be compatible with 25th figures (no sidecar....wth..lol) and include that sweet "this does nothing" backpack. oh, and chrome that thing out.

1. STUN Flags in red and "Python" yellow -- with labels.

2. FLAGG Deck Clips (I'm lucky, in a way, I had one break right when I was putting the Carrier together for the very first time in 1985 and [LASER BLAST] at Hasbro so badly they sent me a complete second set. Come on, they were pretty well on a "tree" of their own. Should've been a cheap mail in offer or some such)

3. WHALE Fan parts, including the circular frame. Those little tabs that held it in place on the vehicle were pretty well worthless. Do this in a Night Force variant as well.

4. Terror Drome "parapet" pieces - the big blue things with the Cobra logo on it. Guess what I've got a broken one of...?

5. A replacement battery case hatch for my digital camera. Freakin' company wants $50 for one. I think they made it breakable on purpose. Okay, it's not a G.I.Joe item, but it's held in place by a rubber band, and without it, the camera doesn't work.

Since Hasbro isn't adding the characters that I hoped they would to the movie line it would be cool if we had casts of the hard to find heads or heads of characters that you could only get in a multi-pack like Lady Jaye without the hat, Cobra disguise Flint, the Devils Due comic book pack Cover Girl, Wraith and the like. Lots of easy customs out there but it's a bit expensive to buy an entire multi-pack for just one head or to track down the hard to find figures just for the head.

Oh man, the guy across from the autograph line had like 5 of those.....and the drones also....

Same booth had Mauler pieces and Terror drome pieces. One guy bought 80 walls for 60 bucks while I was there. The gun caps and the blue Firebat doors were there also, in Multiples 8-O

That was the guy that acted like I was "LASER BLAST"... He had a bag full of drones, all without exhausts. He even dug through the bag and bin himself, and couldn't find one.

When was that? Early or later?.... oddly enough I picked up a drone from him.(I had never had one) and I dug through his stuff to find the exhaust as it didn't have one on it at first...

Thanks for the link, that not only solves the problem of tracking down some things but opened up a ton of ideas about some other customs.

Both my Tomahawks are missing one blade, just can't bring myself to pay $10+ dollars for one.

1. Skystriker landing gear door springs
2. Skystriker and Dragonfly missiles
3. Moray Hydrofoil spot lamp lens cover. I have found numerous "complete" hydrofoils that are only missing that piece.
4. Storm Shadow v1 bow
5. I'll go with the other guy, I could use a battery cover for my Pentax auto advancing camera.

I wish Hasbro would offer replacment parts for toys that are only five or six years old. I bought a Skystriker on eBay and found almost all the missing parts on eBay, Joe Armory, JoeParts, etc, but the Skystriker is 25 years old, there are tons of them out there, and so many parents cleaning out their kids toys from the attic that the parts are fairly easy to come by, but newer items are hard to come by.
I have a Thunderwing missing a rear horizontal stabilizer, and I'd like to replace the canopy on my Crimson Attack Chopper with that of a Night Attack Chopper, but these newer parts can be found without buying the whole vehicle.

I want to see some RAH and newsculpt neck ball blanks to fit the new ball jointed heads. It wouldn't be too hard to do. Just make one end compatible with RAH or newsculpt torsos and put a ball on the top end to pop heads onto. Make them in different lengths and sizes for optimal usage. (yeah,yeah, thats what she said)

Word. Seems to me that I recall way back when that G2G offered those, before they switched to Trigate, who now only sells 25th type stuff.

Tomahawk rear seats with 25th compatible back pegs. Flagg fantail railing and mastcap. I'm sure there's more, but that's all that springs to mind.

Those heads are $3.50-$4 apiece. Considering the 5-packs were $5 a little while ago that doesn't make much financial sense. Heck almost EVERY 25th figure (Except variants like clear Wraith) can be found for $3 or less with a little effort.

Custom sculpts are one thing, but if you just want Hasbro heads you're a lot better off tracking down the originals and getting the entire figure than paying that much for just the head.

Unless, of course, all you want is the head, and don't have any use for a pile of decapitated joes. Then you can go to that site and get just the part you need, with no effort at all, and not have to worry about disposing of the bodies.
