They go for $150 on ebay... wayyy too rich for me! I don't need a minty in box one, just looking at it for a maquette. Can trade 72 aircraft and 35th armour. I'm in Ottawa, Canada.

Hand size to figure ratio, 1/8th scale?

Did you read where there was some weakness in how they built the left arm mount, so that breaks were endemic in new purchases?

Broken one like that might be a good way to get it for a fire sale price.

I look forward to seeing what you have in mind.  Personally, I would love to see a 1/35 version.

Yeah - I'd be totally fine with a broken one or missing parts etc. Honestly, its more about getting a sense of how its built IRL and use that knowledge to build something of my own. This is the style of mechs I prefer over the 'stylized' gundam types.
