Like you,...hey Colbey, appreciate the call out! =)<br /><br />Like you, the main reason for not having missiles in Jap spring loaded launchers are accidental discharge and losing it. It's happened to me with my Lego Batmobile - missile flew out our 30th floor apt window and I spent an hour searching for it on the level 8 pool deck.<br /><br />Also like you, back in the day, I didn't buy too many of the eHobby exclusive because I was just inudated with things to buy (so much was being reissued back then!). But I do remember buying mine a year or so after its release - a seller at a flea market was selling Deepcover, Clamp Down and Tigertracks, all MISB for US$90!Heroic Decepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017245701029351849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636400484703954675.post-10957050023414228082012-09-18T13:31:50.272-04:002012-09-18T13:31:50.272-04:00Any spring loaded launcher's spring has a tend...Any spring loaded launcher's spring has a tendency to wear out over time, but the other reason I don't display a lot of mine "loaded" is I don't want to lose a missile or whatever due to an accidental discharge of the weapon.flywheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404740580161509052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636400484703954675.post-42175325319692892072012-09-18T13:16:41.142-04:002012-09-18T13:16:41.142-04:00I regret not getting either Clamp Down or Deep Cov...I regret not getting either Clamp Down or Deep Cover when they were first issued as well. Now trying to find one without paying out the nose is impossible! He looks pretty.<br /><br />Does displaying the Japsnese figures with their launchers loaded reay affect the spring tension? That's disturbing because I need to take some stuff down.Optimal Omegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112470936085807477noreply@blogger.com
