I think I found who bought the shin guards

I'm not sure it is this guy because he has joe stuff up all the time. Check his completed history; he is selling the whole figure parted out.

I got a pair of boots off TA, so I could take off the shin guards and paint them black. It was pure luck that I checked at the time I did. I do find it odd that some of this stuff sells out so fast. It is like there is a frenzy and people start buying them because other people are buying them. I'm still wondering what all those Hawk pistols are being used for :dunno: I just imagine them decorating spare parts bins all over the country:rotfl I have a feeling in a couple of years people will be dumping stuff like crazy. Who knows I could be wrong.
 
Just for comparison, prices on selected parts, with the better prices in bold (NOTE: These were yesterday's prices, and will most likely increase given the popularity of the Viper parts; additionally, some of these parts are sold out on both sites. I checked the prices from my orders I placed yesterday and pages I had still open and unrefreshed on my computer):

Masada ACR: $18.99 at TA, $24.99 at MD
Hellcat Chest Rig (Ammo Belt): $6.99 at TA, $4.99 at MD
Striker Grenades: $1.99 for two at TA, $.99 a piece at MD
Backpack: $4.99 at TA, $9.99 at MD
Old School Assault Rifle: $13.99 at TA, $7.99 at MD
Bandanna / Neck Scarf: $.99 at TA, $1.99 at MD
Glow Sticks: $.79 for three at TA, $.35 each at MD
Uniform: $16.99 at TA, $11.99 at MD
SO Tech Plate Carrier (Vest): $7.99 at TA, $9.99 at MD

I overpaid the backpack by $5 by ordering from MD instead of TA, but saved $5 on the uniform. :dunno

Nope, not me. Not my style, not enough "flip" for me. Anyone paying for these parts at that price is an idiot. And selling this stuff after fees, hassles, etc. it ain't worth it. Besides that's not my eBay ID and I don't live in Snobbsdale (AZ joke).

The fantasy military parts are more at Toy Anxiety. The realistic military parts are more at Monkey Depot. This isn't surprising considering what they each specialize in.

Nice post, I also kept track of the pricing. Here's a mostly complete price list from both Monkey Depot and Toy Anxiety with some of TA's price changes (I'll also indicate the current lowest price in bold):

Toy Anxiety:
Gauntlets- Were about $10 now they're $7.99
Helmet- Was about $18 now it's $22.99
Uniform- Was about $13 now it's $16.99
ACR with accessories- $18.99
Vest plate carrier- $7.99
Vest pouches- $6.99
Harness- $5.99 (same price at MD)
Viper rifle- $13.99
Backpack- $4.99
Viper Collar- $2.99 Now $1.99
Face Mask- $2.99 Now $0.99
Goggles- $3.99 Now $5.99
Ammo Pmags (2)- $0.99
Neck post $3.99
Body- $11.99
Grenades VM Striker Ball (2)- $1.99 (same price as MD when buying 2)
Flash grenades (2)- $0.99 (same price as MD when buying 2)
Boot uppers (shin armor)- ? (I didn't see them listed)
Flat boots set $5.99
Bent toe right or left boot- $0.99
Glow sticks (3)- $0.99 Now $0.79 (cheaper then MD when buying set of 3)
Knife w/sheath- $5.99 Now $6.99
Riggers belt $0.79
left gripping hand- $1.99 Now $1.49
Right grip hand- $1.49
Right trigger hand- $1.99
Left trigger hand- $1.99
Fists (left or right)- $0.99
water bottle- 3.99
Rope- $0.99
Display stand- $2.99 (same price at MD)
Patches (full set)- $3.99

Monkey Depot:
Gauntlets- $4.99
Helmet- $14.99
Uniform- $11.99
ACR with accessories- $24.99
Vest plate carrier- $9.99
Vest pouches- $4.99
Harness- $5.99 (same price at TA)
Viper rifle- $7.99
Backpack- $9.99
Viper Collar- $0.99
Face Mask- $1.99
Goggles- $4.99
Ammo Pmags (1)- $0.99
Neck post -? (not listed separately, might come with body)
Body- $9.99
Grenades VM Striker Ball (1)- $0.99 (same price as TA but when buying 2)
Flash grenades (1)- $1.99 (same price as TA but when buying 2)
Boot uppers (shin armor)- $7.99
Flat Boots (set) $0.99
Bent toe boot (set)- $0.99
Glow sticks (1) $0.35
Knife w/sheath- $7.99
Riggers belt $0.99
Grip hand (set)- $1.99
Trigger hand (set)- $1.99
Fists (set)- $.99
water bottle- $1.99
Rope- $1.99
Display stand- $2.99 (same price at TA)
Patches (either subdued or full color)- $1.99

Overall, Monkey Depot has better, more consistent pricing on most everything and Toy Anxiety's prices fluctuate inconsistently.
By the way, if you buy a full Viper parted out even with the lowest prices, it'll cost you about $140. Much better idea to buy a full boxed figure if you don't plan on customizing.
I hope that helps out!

Thanks for the info gents. I decided after the I missed the second round of break downs a few weeks ago that if I want a second Viper I might as well buy the whole thing. I'll be using the ex head for Scap Iron instead.

Sweet, thanks for completing the pricing. There were a few other things I order that I didn't list (i.e. the hands) because I didn't have both prices that you did.

I just wanted to get enough stuff to bash one more Viper, and will be ordering at least one more Viper from Sideshow.
 
I don't understand why someone would care about a retailers past and current prices of items that may or may not be in stock. :dunno I will say Toy Anxiety breaks down a ____ ton more than Monkey Depot. It's not a contest, I just want my ____. :lol

Exactly.
The only thing I care about is where to get the best prices on a budget.
The list started out just to keep track of what I wanted; the helmet, uniform, gauntlets, trigger hands, flat boots and boot tops. All the other parts I listed for the convenience of others to get the best deals.
And the reason TA's old and new prices are listed is because I just added the new prices to the old list to stay current. Maybe I should've edited it a bit better, but it's interesting to see that their prices fluctuate as much as they do.
Overall I saved $15+ by buying at MD, which I then used to get a better plate carrier from Cotswold. :lol

Also, Toy Anxiety doesn't part out more then Monkey Depot, MD breaks down figures every week night, TA only does it three times a week. But it's not how many that's important, it's what, and thanks to TA, I have a near complete Art Figures Saves Punisher for about $130 as opposed to the $200+ prices it was going for on eBay at the time.
Both stores are great for different reasons.

For non-military figures, they sure do.

I must have hit monkey Depot at just the right time yesterday. Scored enough to outfit 4 vipers.
