should i be angry??

The octane tanker cover is pretty hard to come by, esp with the chrome in good nick. Also it'd be hard to ensure that it's not KO....

Heroic speaks the truth, I myself have been looking for that exact piece for a couple of years now and I'm starting to think I'm going to just have to buy a new complete one.

I reckon you should buy the parts missing, then show him the receipt so he can reimburse you for the purchases.

Get that in writing as well before you do it.

Good luck trying to track down the parts, they are not cheap and are hard to find anyway. As SS put it, he is a real richard

[UltraMarginal]

hey, that's good news that most of it is fine. The guy probably didn't even realise that there should have been other parts to look for ...
since he's offered to reimburse you for the parts, I think it's probably fair to do a world wide search on ebay, and other similar sites, maybe try that new crave site? show him what a comparable one of each part is selling for and get the cash. the sooner you get it the better, if you wait too long to ask him for it, he may end up telling you he's not doing it anymore. strike while the irons hot in other words, while he still feels bad for it.

I also think if you can't find the individual parts find a listing for the figure that has those parts and include that as the price. if you end up with one or two figures more, let him have thm to give to the kid, as long as you're not any further out of pocket.

As frustrating as it is, it seems the guy is being reasonable and the situation is working out rather well so far.

Above all though, I'd get prices for the parts ASAP and get the money out of him for them as a month or two from now he's probably not going to feel so worried about it. if he does balk at the costs, remind him politely of the highley collectible nature of the figures.

hope it works out.
UM

Even if it was taped to cardboard... those parts aren't tiny (especially Octane's shield - it's pretty big and chunky). It's not like he accidentally chucked out a missile or landing gear. Since he's volunteered to compensate you I reckon you should take him up on his offer. If he complains about the price, then well -- if HE can find them cheaper elsewhere (in acceptable condition), then by all means go ahead and buy them. Otherwise he'll basically need to bite the bullet and just pay up.

The Ocaten accessories are normally worth more than the loose figure itself.

It's going to be pretty expensive and difficult to locate those parts but who knows, you might get lucky.

It's not gonna be expensive for primatives if that other guy keeps his word and pays for them.

[primatives]

just found out he lost the spoiler foe the clones as well!! Quite annoyed now i have to find all the parts grr.

thanks guys for the support!

Gotta make him pay for it. He took something that didn't belong to him and lost parts of it, it's only fair that he pays for replacements of those parts.
