Title: 50¢ BattleBots
Post by: MisterPL on August 4, 2003, 01:40 PM

Anyone looking for a cheap but interesting way to flesh out a Watto's Junkyard diorama or in need of some very affordable friction motors should head to TRU. I found BattleBots on clearance for 50¢ each. Some cool customizing possibilities, especially for the EU crowd or anyone looking to add a little extra personailty to their Sandcrawler.

Scott, if you don't have a Sandcrawler, what kind of customizer are you?!  :P I thought EVERY customizer had a Sandcrawler.

But a Watto's Junkyard is so much easier. Just dump all your spare tech parts and random cameo props (I have a Terminator endoskeleton for mine  ;D), put a Watto in the middle of it and voila! Instant Mos Espa flea market.

Now get to work on that Sandcrawler!

Indeed, those battlebots have some great custom potential to them.  I napped a couple of them back when a store here (Family Toy Warehouse) was going outta business.  

Even make good accessories for figures with some of the parts.  Thanks for the tip, because now it looks like a trip out to TRU is on the agenda.
