March Acquisitions

[kup]

Came in the mail yesterday and I open and inspected together with my wife late last night - Mega Pretender Vroom.

Something that kup, liegeprime and myself have been hunting for some time, with each of us playing musical chairs as to who is going to bid on which Vroom auction. Bidded and won this at 7.30am on the day of the Parra Fair (21 Feb).

Got this one from an English lady. Very nicely packed and surprisingly very good condition. I'm glad that the stickers are all very pristine and new (since reprolabels do not have Vroom repros yet).

Comes with box, bubble and insert (missing instructions).

Congratulations! It looks awesome! Mine should arrive tomorrow but it will be no where near in as good condition as yours. I think you won the musical chairs game

Congrats! hahaha, true true kup!. He got the best one I think hahahah. I went with plan B and got mine piecemeal - still way cheaper than the one that ended from ebay, but Im just missing that red part/plate connecting the shell to the the little robot to turn it into a sidecar. Ah well, I can live with that. NO sidecar mode then heheheh hope to see your Vroom soon.

Here is the Aussie Vroom:



Unfortunately he is pretty yellowed despite being intact and complete. It's not possible to pull him apart either as he has massive pins holing him together. Removing them would mean breaking the plastic. I will have to think of something.

I think the key point is that he is complete. Can you soak the whole thing in peroxide solution do you think or would that be risky?

Yeah I am grateful that he is complete as that is really the hardest thing to accomplish with this toy.

When it comes to getting rid of his yellowing - I have put the whole shell minus his lower legs (can be removed) into a large glass container. I had to mix my new Hydrogen Peroxide solution with some older ones I had (which I felt had lost their effect) in order to fill it. Thankfully shortly after I placed the Vroom shell inside, bubbles begun to form on the surface so the chemical reaction that whitens the plastic is indeed taking place even if the new liquid is a bit diluted with some old and well used Hydrogen Peroxide.
