I just spotted this guy at the local toy shop....I had to get him. He was covered in dust and priced at $30. Under the dust was an almost Mint Triggerhappy! I must say, I love this guy.

Nice find. Pretty good price too.

I do however have bad news...the reason I walked into the store was to pick up a g1 dreadwing i saw a couple days earlier. He was complete and in great condition. I didn't check the price but figured I would pick it up anyway. Sadly, he was gone, and in his spot was triggerhappy! I guess it's not all bad

Great find! I found a mint G1 Soundwave at the back of a toys R us shelf several years ago like that! It was a sweet find too! Congrats!

WOW. See now that is a good find!

shame about the missed Dreadwing, but still an excellent find! and the stickers are good too, based on the pics.

also, is it just me, or does the nebulon for Trigger-happy looks eerily similar the Minicon for Vector Prime?

Its actually a toy botique that sells a buncha vintage toys. all the loose toys they have are traded in by customers. I try to visit there at least 4 times a week in hopes to find something sweet!

hmm...there is nothing like that in my area. So, I am limited to online stores

I would rather have your view!

ohh....I know it is off-topic but that is Crater Lake National Park, which used to be a volcano in Southern Oregon.

That reminds me.. I still haven't found the MIB Triggerhappy that I put away years ago. No way I'm gonna pay the Ebay price for it now when I got one already (even if I can't find it).

BTW Grats on your haul. :lol:

by **frgtn340** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 3:09 am

why is he so expensive on ebay anyways?

btw, I thought that was Lake tahoe! It's nice nonetheless

Does anyone know how to fix Triggerhappy? I'm specifically having trouble keeping his grey arm guns pointing upwards in robot mode as they keep falling down and pointing to the floor.

you can try a drop of super glue on the joint part. Just be sure to keep moving it before it dries. However, this might leave a white film on the figure. The joints on mine are super tight, to the point where they are hard to move.

I might have to steal yours, then...
