   I got two of the grey ones from BrickBay.  They're spiffy,
   and will make excellent tank ball turrets.

   But as for their availability:  They come in 8008, 8007, and
   two of the Bionicle Toa (Tahu, the one kicking the rock around,
   is the best; he's got two).

(...) Thanks Lindsay and Kyle for the info! I picked up a Tahu set and confirmed it had two. Now I have a source for some of those parts. I appreciate the help! Tom (25 years ago, 3-Nov-01, to lugnet.technic)
