i've never been at all bothered about getting the Flagg. i figure it's just so goddamn huge, it's just going to sit there, taking up space i don't have, gathering dust. all i could do with it, is maybe stick my Skystriker and my Dragonfly on the flight deck to do a couple of photos, it's not like i could take it down the stream and take photos of it.

i'd sooner spend the money one'd cost on other stuff like a Natalie Poole, a Skymate, a Mamba, a WHALE or whatever.

I have a spare Mamba you can buy and help me towards my Flagg and I can send you the pictures of a Skystriker and Dragonfly on it!

I don't HAVE an urge. the 'big ticket' payset i would probably most like to get is the TTPB, or the Mobile Command Centre, if you count that as a playset not a vehicle. i don't care for the Terrordrome, particularly, or the Defiant. I used to drool over the MCC in the Argos catalogue as a kid, though.

The only thing that saves the Flagg and TTBP is that they come apart for easy storage. The HQ also has this nice feature. That MCC, Defiant and Terrordrome need their own zip code no matter how you store them and if you can't easily store them they get dirty or busted.

TTBP is a good choice if you've got the HQ. Small parts, easy to ship and store, hard to break so parts are plentiful thus cheap.

Ummm...

Guess your " NO " button was broken....?

Or did you just chuck the whole " NO " button unit out car window on your way to picking up your Flagg...? LOL : )

Missing one deck clip it seems. I thought there were 15?
Main superstructure has a couple cracks, not a real issue.

WE HAVE FLAGG LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!
