Some you can find pictures of using Google image search, but they look pretty cool. I can see it will work out to be quite expensive in the end though, these things always are. $20 an issue, first one is cheaper as usual. I don't normally buy these magazine things, but the pieces alone look cool enough for me to buy a set, and a few doubles :p

Can a mod fix the title to Chess not Chees? :p

[Sharky]

that is a ice looking set.. but all up it will cost around $660.00.......thats alot of batcoin

yeah saw that the other day in my newsagent, tempted but then I set it down, Im still trying to complete a few of my "bugs". The only one I really ever completed in those newsagent things is my Brass Orrery. I got it complete and working but now it's just taking too much space to display, same with the bugs so I kinda have to have self control on that one.

I picked up the first piece, they seem to be hit or miss with the paint of what i have seen, and i find it hard to drop $20 a week for 32 weeks

Very tempting, I'm gonna check it out the next time I'm at the newsagent. I agree it's a lot of (Bat)coin and a bit of a gamble with the paint but I can see it being a very nice little thing to look at.

Does work out quite expensive, but i still want it lol

It is impressive and I would want it but not for the overall price they are asking.

Have you checked on the back near the barcode? It should give price on NZ and Uk I think.

They always get it cheaper:rolleyes:

BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE THE ONES WITH GLOW IN THE DARK SPIDER AND SCORPION!!! Mother through out my spider:mad: Scorpion is not complete

Have a whole stack to sell.

Bought a stack of plane mags and other bits n pieces. But $20!!! usually $14, youd expect great paint application for that price
