Hey guys 'n gals,

I'm looking for an Aurora/Polar Lights Creature from the Black Lagoon. I really need only the figure, and since I intend to use it for a conversion a build-up will do just fine - don't even need the base (which means you keep some handy items for your spares box). This would be a great way to get rid of that sad old early effort of yours to make way for the prize winner that you're working on now!

I'll gladly swap if I have something you're looking for, or pay a reasonable $um plus shipping. Thanks for your help!

Mark , let me check out "the closet" this weekend . i might have a sealed PL Aurora repop extra .
if i don't , i know where one is at the local flea market . i'll check his price and get back to ya ( seems he wanted around 20 but the place is going out of business so he may have marked stuff down ) .
i'm looking fo a repop revell/monogram Batman if ya have one maybe we could work a trade .
anyhoo , i'll get back to ya first thing Monday .

Great! Now what have I got for you? All I have is the Robin repop; however, I think I can get you a Horizon (not 100% sure of the manufacturer) vinyl Batman (classic comic book uniform) that has been gathering dust on a local comic shop shelf for a couple years now. There's an IPMS contest this weekend that I can scrounge for a Bats repop also. Or have you got a wish list?

hey Mark ,
i've got me a resin replacement set for the Batman kit so if your not in a hurry for the Creech go ahead and check the IPMS .

also , i've got a bunch of body parts but i think i've given all the hands away to folks who suffered the broken fingernail syndrome .
if you have any hands i could give ya the rest of a body just for the cost of shipping .
just lmk if this will work and i'll dig out the parts .

OR ...option #3 , i could just sell ya the sealed kit . say 15 plus shipping .

whichever works best for ya .

Here's what let's do - sit tight until after this weekend, beck old sock, and I'll see what's available in western Pennsylvania. If I can't find you a Batman there, I'll just settle for the ca$h option, okay? I'll LYK what's what come Sunday.

Come to think of it, I'm likely to find a Creech at the show, and maybe a Batman for you, beck - how much do you want to spend if I find one? And how did we get off-topic so fast?

beck,

Just got back from PA. The good news is, I found a Creech for about the same price you offered yours, so now we both have one. The bad news is, no Batman. I do appreciate your generosity and thank you again for your offer.

Be seeing you on the boards!
