Metroplex
To begin with, up until now I've never had any real interest in collecting G1 figures. However, I have decided that I want a Metroplex. I don't want to buy a mint condition one, an Encore version or even a complete one. I want the satisfaction of rebuilding it myself, like restoring a '57 Chevy Bel Air.
What I request is advice on how to go about this. The names of reputable dealers, and people to stay away from. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Re: Metroplex
if you're going to get an incomplete one, make damn sure it at least has scampers gun. that thing is impossible to find on it's own, metro is cheap enough to just buy complete IMO, i sold my MIB one missing one missile for $50 last year (to a friend)

Re: Metroplex
I agree with Brr-icy. If your wanting him CIB that is. However, an option for you might be Trade. You could probly complete him very easily over a few months. That way (Trade) little to no money is leaving your pocket, well beyond shipping of course.
Plus to take in to consideration, which version your after? Rubber Wheeled/Plastic Wheel etc etc etc.
