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.
