Hmm. How about getting Loop to sculpt a rocket pack and rocket boots - casted material takes dye really well.

I say, "okay!"

How about a rocket-powered shovel for Joe Canuck? With the pole turning into a shotgun. It'll be the next craze on Ebay!

Pete that boat is a thing of beauty.  I don't want to ask how much this is worth or how much you paid so let me put it this way, how much is too much to pay for a crimson Moccasin?

As for a JC (North) vehicle exclusive it have to be something common and cheap.  It need to have few parts so you could get a lot of them complete.  And the customizing would have to be really simple like maybe just spray painting the shell and custom made stickers.  Off the top of my head, maybe like a sharc or asp.

Well, I heard that in Canada, you can mail-order some Assault Quads (with Gung-Ho) and some FANG IIIs (with CLAWS Pilot) for 3.75$ Canadian a piece + GST + 4$ S/H.
That's pretty darn cheap. I have a form to order some, if you need it.

Not a fan of either of those vehicles though...

Actually, with the BTR vehicles at samco running about $2 that might even be doable.

I would say around in the 100 buck range is a deal for the boat.  But the bugger is getting harder to find in mint shape.   I paid twice as much as a thanks to my contact.  He has helped me out big time in sending payments off to other Brazilian sellers from mercadolivre.  Plus the boat barely has any play wear to it.

What's wrong with those vehicles? I don't own any of em so I dunno, but based on pictures they look nifty.

They don't stay together. I got the big one with Blowtorch and I couldn't even get it together before it fell apart.

SV, you have to supplement them with the "build it" bricks packs to keep them together. You can pick them up in multiple colors at $1 stores sometimes 3 for a buck.

I'm pretty sure that we could put together a custom vehicle  for a cost of about 5$ per unit bagged (that would stay together) which means that it could sell for as little as $8 - $10. Instructions would likely be a black and white sheet of paper...

Not sure that there would be any interest in this anyway. There would have to be preorders for it, because unsold units could make it a money loser.

Though I *am* really interested in the jetpack idea (or any other small one piece vehicle) and I think that loop could pull off the sculpting.

A vehicle is an interesting idea. (Sorry, coming late to the discussion).

It would have to be a small vehicle, and one that is easily found.

If the Polar Bear wasn't so tough to find, I'd vote that one in black (or DARK blue) for Black Ice.

As for Joe Canuck getting a vehicle.... well... if we could somehow dye a Fang Copter white - that would be sweet.... or a Ferret ;-)

Hmm.... I wonder how a Funskool Fang would take spray paint?

How about the repainted Polar Bear from 2002, the Rock Slide?  http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/02/rockslide/  It was clearanced to $3 when new and comes with a t-crotch figure.  Surely a decent amount of them could be found on the cheap :)

A quick dip in black RIT and I think you'd have a winner  :thumbsup:
