View Full Version : Man I feel buyer's guilt about this...
curmudgeon 05-31-2004, 03:46 PM I just bought this over e-bay, but I wonder if I should of. I just finished a trade and an auction over the past two days that completed my old Terror Drome, and even left me with some extra parts. Then I saw this with buy it now on ebay and I impulse bought it:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5901695896&sspagename=STRK%3A MEWN%3AIT&rd=1 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5901695896&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1)
I am hurting for money and I feel like crap. I think it was a good deal, even though it looks to be missing all the bottom doors and the firebat/pilot, plus the two parapet things that hold the big guns, and the guns themselves. Oh well, I think I am swearing off ebay for awhile.

curmudgeon 05-31-2004, 03:57 PM I always do multiple searches when looking for things, because I know people misspell things a lot on Ebay. I did a search for Terror 'Dome' instead of Drome and I found it. I think I am going to half-heartedly try to complete it (and I just got through the painstaking process of completing my old one) and then figure out what to do from there. I barely have room for 1 terror drome, so no way I can keep it.
KrymsynGardImmoral 05-31-2004, 04:08 PM It looks pretty white, I might be interested in it. But the shipping from Ca would probably kill it for me.
Obiwanjacoby 05-31-2004, 04:09 PM Dude, don't regret it! You know what you GOT now??? Get some extra doors for it & stack your good Drome on top of it.
Get it? A TWO-STORY Terrordrome!!!
:cool: :cool: :cool:
It's super-sweetness, I envy you now!

Lt. Royal 05-31-2004, 04:33 PM I got one of those complete for that amount
Crimson Viper Commander 05-31-2004, 04:44 PM I found mine with more parts than that one at a flea market for $3.00 Best flea market score i ever found...
curmudgeon 05-31-2004, 04:56 PM Thanks for making me feel better! <sarcasm off> :(
Hehe, maybe I'll follow Obiwan's advice. Double decker terror drome would be hilarious. Or maybe I can call the queer eye for the clandestine paramilitary terrorist organization and see if they can spruce things up a bit :P

Fabio 05-31-2004, 05:09 PM Hey, don't be hard on yourself. We all have this "impulse" every now and then. And I guess it will be a easy sell if you decide to let it go!

Dave Seguin 05-31-2004, 06:22 PM Dude I saw that auction and was going to BIN but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
Alkie Ewok 06-01-2004, 04:22 AM Nah just get a tactical battle platform between the two as a walkway or something...maybe more of an "or something"
I was looking at the same thing, but just couldn't do it. Not for the price and shipping for something so incomplete. But, the Firebat doors do look good.

curmudgeon 06-01-2004, 07:58 AM I have a full set of bottom doors (albiet with the tabs broken) and an extra cannon just lying around, plus some extra parts for the terror drome, so I wouldn't need all that many parts. I will probably end up selling it for very near complete for a little more than I bought it for. It's fun restoring/completing anyhow. Now how to explain to my girlfriend why 2 of the things are clogging up my living space.
Michael 06-01-2004, 10:25 AM if anyone has an extra top to one of these - let me know - dont need all the chairs or computers and stuff, just the top for an underground cobra diorama/base i want to make
Blayloxzuess 06-01-2004, 12:42 PM Don't feel too bad, I bought the worst terror drome ever for like $45, then pad another $45 for shipping from New York to Chicago. It was my first e-bay purchase & I didn't know any better. Then I got the stupid thing & it sucked! Missing so much stuff, I tried to give it to Kevin Watts at a toy show for free and he said NO, lol.
