Ever since I got the Extreme Sets Dioramas, I've been wondering how much would it cost to make a good looking APC from cardboard, at least the outside armor.

I just recieved schematics from the maker of that APC. As well as a "how to" guide.

I would love you if you'd tell me how I could get a hand on those

I was so close to posting that earlier, then I deleted it. I'm glad someone did it. [emoji16]

EBay, I am not paying $60 for the Hicks/Hudson pack.

Some other sites have ridiculous prices as well, like $71. I'd rather pay that amount for an autograph.

So, I'm not being told on today? My first convention might be less awkward?

You won't find cheaper than $60 brand new. These aren't produced anymore and they are rare figures to begin with. You might get cheaper if you buy them used our out of the package. But be wary, because someone might be selling a knock off, a concealed defective one, or a broken one.

Yes. I use the ebay phone app, so I can filter for U.S. only sellers, I look for free shipping, and I search for the lowest price.

It really depends on how bad you want them. To me the Hicks/Hudson two pack is worth the $60, if I ever decide to do a few more marines I'd most likely buy it at that price.

I feel like the price won't be too much of a concern once I'm a little more independent. Not to mention, I'm not going to display them. If I can get years of use and enjoyment out of them, $60 isn't an issue in the long run.
