Sorry guys I've been working 13 hours a night so I've been too busy sleeping to worry about the KT. However tonight was a GOOD night and I'm home already and gonna go to bed, get some sleep and go see what kind of deal this guy calls a hell of a deal. I'm gonna TRY to convince him that because its used and has a few scratches that no one but me would want it anyway and I hope he'll let me do layaway and I'd have it by the end of the month.

I'll keep ya posted.

Happy wife= happy life.?
I did a risky thing on Tuesday night while she was down at the sports club catching up..................busted out $765 in one transaction, and another $103 in a second 8O
all was making me feel real happy until I realised the bloody emails with the transactions & sales details were sent to HER email address not mine(she did my first on line purchase)
WELL.............. :-< :-< :-< :-< :-< :-< :O :O :O

But they are still coming, like death, gravity, taxes and leaching ex wives...............this is unstoppable.

Ahhh, I gave her a new baby to play with & help her feel "fullfilled"..................so I should be ahead of the game yeah ?

Holy crap on a cracker! So I went down to look at it and sure enough its a Taigen King Tiger, not the full metal one but it has all the metal upgrade parts. It lists for $499.99 but because its "used" and had to be repaired and sure enough it does has scratches on it and the kid who owned it spilled something on it and the turret is stained, so it needs painting. He offered it to me for $200.00 so I bought it, well I put half down because I just had to pay $200 to the shop who tuned my car so I didn't have it today. But it IS mine now and I'll be picking it up either next Friday when I get paid from my part time job or worst comes to worst in 2 weeks when I get paid from my main job.

It runs great, the gun works perfectly (the air soft gun was replaced under warranty by Imex) and they had to replace the smoke unit too because the kid put the WHOLE bottle of smoke liquid into it and killed it.

All in all I don't think I did bad, I got a "factory" rebuilt Taigen King Tiger with all the metal upgrades for $200. Sure it needs to be re-painted but to be honest I would have done that even if I bought a brand new one.

So starts my collection! Not a bad start I think, a Heng Long/Taigen hybrid Tiger I and a Taigen King Tiger tank.
