Finally!! Got a Driller!

I have been on the hunt for a LONG time. And finally found one. Just wanted to share.:liono

Congrats ninja kid!

And he's in beautiful condition too!

Awesome, big congrats! I have been on the lookout for one also, but they are so expensive. He is in great shape. I know you will treasure him!

Great piece ninja cat. I always regretted not getting Driller when I had the chance. Only ever seen one in one shop when I was on holiday in England in the summer of 1989, never seen another in any of the shops here in Northern Ireland.

Congrats on obtaining the Driller figure. :)

Thanks guys! I regret not having got him sooner (like 4 years ago). Prices sure have skyrocketed on him over the years.

I wish I had got one a few years ago also. :mad: It would have been nice to have had him in the collection, but it's not going to happen now that I have sold my collection.

Your Driller looks to be in amazing condition. I don't see any paint ware on it at all. It look brand new. :D

Congrats buddy. He is an awesome figure, I love his action feature to.

Many congrats on getting a complete Driller and that too in pristine condition! :thumbsup: The prices of this figure are just astronomical these days!

I was actually offered a Driller back around 2009 by a friend who had one and only wanted about £16 for it. I passed on it as I was pretty heavily into collecting Transformers at the time. Wonder if he still has it....;)

Wow, that would have been epic! I am doubting if he had it that he would still let it go for 16 right?

He is a pretty hardcore Transformers fan, no real interest in Thundercats. We were just chatting one night about other lines we collected and I mentioned Bravestarr and Thundercats. He said he had a couple Thundercats if I wanted them. He described driller as the purple drill guy LOL. He just wanted to clear some stuff out ASAP as he was moving over to England. He just wanted to take his Transformers collection with him, none of the other stuff. I didn't want to do him out of money as I would have felt bad getting it off him so cheap when he needed the money. Also I was collecting other stuff so I let it pass.

Thats understandable. I would have felt guilty too.

You really should have bought that Driller, my friend. Nowadays £16 will probably only get you one of its drill bits! :eek:

I know, I should have grabbed it LOL, but since I sold my Thundercats collection recently I wont be searching for a Driller anytime soon.;)

Congrats ninja cat! And man, he's in fine shape too, that's awesome. :)

I recommend picking up a stand for displaying him. Makes him look a little more in-line with his appearance in the show. Plus it'll keep the paint from wearing off the tips of his drill sections. ;)

The Driller I got is in flawless condition, just have to clean up some dust. but otherwise excellent shape.

That stand is a great idea, and I know exactly which one that is. Thanks!:thumbsup:

Stand looks great, where do you get one from?
