That can be arranged.  :shifty:  :lol:

When you say that, I get a mental picture of you and Bandonov meeting at the corner of a street, opening your jacket as you say: "Hey Bill, I got some good CHROMED stuff for you, the best around heheheh" as you unveil a couple of dozen chromed Snake-bytes/Shivers that blind Bandy's eyes with the sun hitting hard on them :lol:

It's really too bad about the auction. I'm broke, and I really would've loved to have this plane. I guess I will have to pretend that this never existed so that I don't have to remember and regret. Best of luck to whoever wins it, it's a real GEM  :cobra:

When I saw you chromed Skystriker, I immediately thought how cool a Skybat would be... then you made it!

Now I have to work on:

That would be so SWEET!

One offs like this one are pretty expensive to make and having random chrome hailstorms would probably have caused a riot.

At the end of the day we didn't want to go back to chrome. We did chrome in 2009 and it was great but we wanted something different. Besides, the black Hailstorm looks great. I was looking at mine just last night.

Mind you, that's not to say certain pieces were not given the once off treatment.  :shifty:

Considering how much SNAKEs went for last year, I expect this to go up more then that.

@The Mike: My birthday is just around the corner. It's still not too late to cancel the auction, and wrap the "Hatestorm" up in aluminium foil packaging....What do you think? No?

Well I had to try  :)

Maybe we can agree to have one beer together as we're chatting and let the sad times roll  :( Thursday Night 15-30 minutes before the end of the auction would be fine I guess. Last time Dodge, The Mike and I we're chatting as an auction we were watching together was ending. It was the closest thing as to watching the last minutes of a great Habs game, I mean Leafs...hum hum pardon me  :shifty:

And it's awesome.

1 hour to go....I have to find at least 400$....somewhere in my pocket maybe  :(....damn, there's a big hole in it!

Dodge, Dustin, "Requin pélerin d'eau douce" (aka 5h4rk) I won't be able to make it back home in time to have that beer...sorry guys. Maybe we can settle for the after-party  :-

Congrats Mike.

I was tempted to try, but I knew it would go sky high.  Here's hoping your Skystriker does even better!!!

Yeah, me too!  But that's still a good amount, congrats!
I can't believe you're selling the Sky Wing... thought for sure you'd keep that for yourself.  Anyways, Good luck!

Is that a REAL Chrome SNAKE or is Photoshopped?

That's because you like chrome WAY too much.  :lol:

It did about $100 more than I expected. I expect the Skystriker to do about 200 less.
