I've got one, but it's not complete.
You could buy a loose complete from the bay, but you might spend a little less building one...
It's hard to find one whose wings don't need oiling to open though. Keep that in mind. I think the parachutes that were originally on the backs of the pilot chairs are also tough finds.

Ya, the one I've got is from when I was a kid too. It's missing a bunch of rockets, but is in otherwise decent shape. Actually, it'd make for a great rebuild project....Heath wrote:Mine is complete (including parachutes), but a part on the landing gear is broken. It's not for sale, though. I still remember when my mom brought it home from Walmart and I flew that thing all over the yard!

Cool... very cool on the terror drome! I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid! I've heard that the firebat that came with it is a tough find... do you have that?maraxusofkeld wrote:I actually just got a nice complete one from a guy on hisstank, I also just bought a super nice terror drome which has been one of my joe grails for awhile.
