I have heard on good authority that the Sonic sub-line is a little less than ideal for modding due to the translucent plastic being slightly weaker than the mainline opaque plastic. So the blasters I mentioned at the start of this thread - and which were slated for OMW mods - are actually more museum pieces than actual combat prospects. :-/ Oh well...

My latest find yesterday was a Rebelle Rapid Red which I bought for $3 at Value Village.

Pluses:

+ cheap!

+ working! Better than my son's Stryfe

+ uncommon! (Ooooooooo)

+ as my new Rapid Red was bought for $18 CAD on sale, this means my two RR's cost an average of $10.50. Much better than TRU retail. (At $36? NOT WORTH IT!)

Minuses:

- no batteries or darts

- used condition with scuffing

- partially encrusted in cat urine

I'm motivated to take this completely apart and, after soaking in bleach, try to repaint it in Elite or Zombie Strike colors. This will all amount to a nifty learning experience.
