Hello, I am another humble collector looking to buy a Sand Tarakava Prototype Replica.

The Sand Tarakava was a set planned to be released, but never made it passed the prototype stage. Simply put, I don't have any of the pieces necessary to build one for myself. If you own a replica, or have all the pieces needed to complete one, please help! I've provided helpful pictures I've found, along with a few links to some online instructions below. Please offer a set that matches the provided instructions, and please message me privately to discuss.

Thank you :-)

In my opinion, if you don't mind doing a little work, you're better off building it yourself. There's plenty of YouTube videos that start with a shot of all the pieces you'll need (the majority of the work was to focus on this shot and make a list of all the pieces you need). I've seen people sell sand tarakava for around $80-90. Ordering the pieces on Bricklink and building it myself cost me $40...

 

Edit: Honestly, if you don't mind paying someone else for labor, it doesn't seem too bad. However, for me it was too high. Like I said, I made a wanted list in bricklink of all the pieces I'd need, hit find all from least sellers, and ordered. Saving money meant more to me.

 

Edit 2: If you did want to go the do-it-yourself route, some of the pieces are hard to determine stuff like length. I'd be happy to answer questions for you.
