Now that's just showing off!Don't know if these photos are interesting to you guys. Think I posted similar way back when. Haven't really done much collecting in recent years but got a bit more time now and going through the cupboards.

No I've not really gone after any deliberately. I just bought a Trippd Laser Cannon and Radar Laser Cannon sealed some years ago. I remember a time when there were lots for sale, people had shipping cartons full of them! Unfortunately the tape has perished/split so they're not technically sealed anymore but they are/were when I got them.Thanks rob for sharing your MISB Tripod. It looks fantastic, It has been a long time since I have seen a MISB. Do you have a MISB focus ?
Great stuff! Thanks for sharingThis is a cool bit of kit and one of my favourite pieces, here's mine

You can try to do a thread about the shop, maybe more members will see it and you maybe can get more infoNo mate, still looking.
I will have a look at the plastic part on my TLC and see if its the same
Maybe, I have no idea. But it not a part of the hose but the whole hose that fells diffrent, much harder than the others I have. It is also not as good to display with when you put the cannon together, Because the plastic are much harder. The power unit cannot always touch the table or the floorSo the hose on mine i can squeeze together and it fits perfectly into the bottom of the canon.
I noticed these toys arent stamped like most of the other mini rigs apart from a code inside the 'ammo' box and one on the underside of the main gun.
Has the plastic just become hard overtime? I've never heard of a repro hose for this toy
Yes maybe just degraded plastic, maybe they used bad plastic for this one, but then they shouls used bad plastic for a lot of them before they changed to better plastic in productionI wouldn't have thought it would be a repro given when you bought it and how much that piece was worth back then. That said, I have no idea if it's a genuine variant either or perhaps just degraded plastic?

It is, bought the brackets a while ago, displays wellThanks for sharing you cannon, it looks great on display with your figures, is it the falcon I can see a part off on the wall ?
Oh thats not good, i imagine its degraded then and gone hard over time.Maybe, I have no idea. But it not a part of the hose but the whole hose that fells diffrent, much harder than the others I have.

Very good question, I have no idea, I had hoped maybe other members had one and knew more than me, but maybe degraded or production error of bad plastic or just a more rare hose variant but if it is a variant then what box variant could it have come fromOh thats not good, i imagine its degraded then and gone hard over time.
Well done for still having your childhood one! I wish I still had my childhood toys, but they were disposed of decades ago!My childhood tripod cannon, picked up a cheapo box to go with it lol - taking the pic reminds me that I still need to replace the missing power hose
