Title: An unexpected find...
Post by: latinjoe22 on April 24, 2011, 11:20:20 PM
Today I was reorganizing my bins of ARAH vehicles. I was holding the Hammerhead in my hands when I heard something "dance" inside of the shell. After close to ten minutes of shaking the vehicle in many ways, my reward came out: an original helmet belonging to Decimator in minty shape.

I originally bought the vehicle without the driver, so this helmet is probably the one that belonged to the original driver.

EDIT: I wrote "heads" instead of hands, stupid me  :P. Corrected.

I also shook my Defiant once, and 4 original accessories came out from the space lab, but it was all Battleforce stuff and Sgt. Slaughter's Renegades stuff...nothing more  :lol:

I bought a huge bin of joe stuff at a garage sale once.
heard something rattling around in a killer whale shell.
after some shaking it turned out to be 2 of the grenade launchers from the mauler.
( and 1 marble! )

+1 - great to hear stories like this.
All, I've found by shaking is a broken Gnawgahyde gun inside a Crusader! He must have been a stowaway!

Dead spiders and helmets are nice but have you ever found an artifact?  It was at the bottom of a box of some spare Joe vehicles parts. I don't have the vehicles anymore but the artifact I still have.

Artifact?
like an old indian spearhead?
or an ancient roman coin?

LOL I forgot that they also had a Cube in the Transformers movie. I was referring to Hellraiser actually.

EDIT: Trust me, if you found a cube like the one in Hellraiser, you wouldn't want to open it.

When I bought my Flagg it was all boxed up, and I didn't open it.  When I got home and unpacked it, I found a Mobile Command Center.  That was an unexpected surprise.
