Grail found - Whale for $5.00!
« on: July 27, 2012, 08:16:31 AM »
I've always wanted the Whale but just never got around to owning one. Yesterday I bought one off Kijjij for $5.00.

It's not perfect and needs a few parts, but for $5 it's a great deal.

If you look at the left canon you'll see the end of it is missing.





I need to replace the propellers on the fans and the fins. Even the complete set of fins needs repair as the one side is broken:



The front door here has a broken tab on one side:



These are extra Whale parts I have to trade if anyone has any Whale parts I need:



it also came with cutter but his left leg and crotch are broken. No big deal as I already owned him.

My son and I played with this thing all last night.

BTW, it looks like I have more barrels then this thing can hold. I've got 6, yet it looks like it can only hold 5. Is the normal?

I think the biggest score for your Whale is it came with the bike.  I got my first Whale for free, and it never came with that.

Congrats on a great find!!

For the condition that thing is in and about 96% complete....you got it for a steal!  Nice! 

Kijiji really came through for you.  The last time I tried to buy stuff through Kijiji it turned out to be a complete waste of my time.  I emailed back and forth with a guy 5 times and once I asked what he wanted for the stuff he stopped responding.  Go figure, you put the stuff on Kijiji to sell and then your scared to tell the person how much you want for it.
