I got these for a VSF build that went south, years ago. I found the stash and thought others might be interested.

I need to get an exact count but these are the ones in question…I think there are 10-12 of the spiders and 6-7 of the robots…

(this will go to the marketplace once it becomes a market issue, sorry to bother anyone I was hoping to be a helper rather than a leech :)

and

the 4" iron giant (not sure which company offered it) picture

I would rather work a deal with the fine TMPers than list it to some toy collector on Ebay.

Any interest?

Depending on what you are asking for them, I'm sure you will get takers. I am actually intrigued by the thought of using some of those spiders with Deadlands.

I have used one of the spiders in Gorka Morka…
they were the first "weird" thing I converted for GASLIGHT too.
I had to get them one at a time on eBay, too.

Rivets and Steam have some conversions I do believe?

I am putting together a large SST bug unit for a sculpting/painting project…so most likely bugs are what I am looking for…but I am easy…I like lots of stuff :)

What are you asking for the wild west spiders? Contact me ggmolly @ comcast . net

Thanks

Al

28mmMan24 Jun 2009 5:34 p.m. PST

ok I have the actual count.

12 complete spiders

2 extra bodies (loads of detail and would make a fine body for an airship, tank, etc.)

and 4 iron giants


I am putting together a SST bug unit and any warriors, hoppers, etc. would be welcome.

But as I said I like lots of stuff…28mm scale is appreciated.

I could use some more kroot, AT-43, or just about anything…let me know what you have available.

I am a big fan of bits bins. Left overs from tanks, planes, etc.. For that matter I could use any scale plastic models…even half built ones.

Ok I do believe the deals are done…at least 10 spiders are gone I still have two bodies and 4 iron giants, but hold off until the dust settles to see who actual gets what. I will keep all interested parties on th elist if anyone drops off.

Thanks for the responce. Again I didn't want any money, just parts for parts really.

Follow up…the first 3 are in the box ready for shipment…thomas whitten (cue Kermit all happy) ayaayyaaaaaaa

Thomas is that Biotron?!

Thomas Whitten25 Jun 2009 2:15 p.m. PST

Yes, yes it is.

28mmMan28 Jun 2009 11:10 a.m. PST

Ok the current status is:

3 spiders to Thomas Whitten

5 spiders, 2 spider bodies, and 2 Iron Giants to OFM

There are a couple others deals in process for the remaining 4 complete spiders.

Thanks for the interest guys…sharing is better than selling.

Sorry for the delay guys, OFM has already sent his trade and I had major money issues, 3 teenagers at home for the summer = $100 USD a day in food and entertainment it seems :(

Anyway the shipments go out this morning via UPS with tracking, those who had deals confirmed please email once more and I will do the same, thanks for your interest and for being kind enough to wait.

:)
