Looking for God Ginrai cab wheel

[ChlorHex]

Just opened a 15 year old MISB purchase to find a wheel missing from the cab
Does anyone have a junk Ginrai or PM Optimus cab that you want to get rid off?
I just need a wheel and the screw that holds it in place.
No chrome wear please.
Thanks.

That's some serious toy opening procrastination right there.

The good news is that the wheels on Ginrai and PM Optimus Prime are identical, so if you can find a PM Prime w/ a good condition wheel, then you ought to be able to salvage it. I actually had a spare junker PM Prime a few years ago, but nobody wanted it and I ended up giving it away for free to someone. Anyway, finding a spare PM Optimus Prime cab ought to be easier/cheaper than finding a spare Ginrai... there are some parts between those toys that are different, but luckily for you the wheels is not one of them.

Good luck.

I have a junker PM OP that's on the 'to-get-rid-of' list. IIRC the chrome was still good. It's in Australia though, so I won't be able to get at it for another few months. I head back for late July/early-to-mid August every year.

I'm nominally based in Tassie, but this year I'm planning a WA trip to see friends and family, so if you're in Perth I could probably just hand it over to you directly come August. If not then you're still welcome to it, just cover the postage cost is all.

If you happen to have any spare parts for a Stalker figure and/or any of the Predator missiles that'd make for a good trade IMO. Alternately, if you happen across any Peanuts books at second-hand shops (Salvos etc.) my students would love that for some reading material. Japanese kids go nuts for Snoopy.

I'm not in a rush to grab the wheels... It's been 15 years since this was purchased and with it only recently opened, I think I can wait a couple more months
I don't have the parts you seek unfortunately but will look out for the Snoopy stuff for you.
PM me when you're back home.
Thanks mate

No worries. I'd rather see it put to good use than just sit in a box gathering dust.

I'd probably suggest sending me a reminder about it towards the end of July, just for safety's sake.

Update - many apologies @Chlorhex, but having just looked through my junker box it seems my PM Optimus Prime isn't there after all. I checked through the list and looked through all the packages, but no luck.

I was sure I still had him, sorry dude.

[ChlorHex]

Ah... No problems dude.
These things happen
He's been without a wheel for over a decade so yeah, I'm alright with that.
I'll keep looking.
Thanks mate!

I have an old PM Optimus floating around somewhere but the question is whether there is any chrome wear on them as I wouldn't say that it is in great condition. I'll have a look for you when I get home.

[Raider]

I had a look but it has pretty bad chrome wear and is a little rusty sorry.
