Hi,

I am looking to purchase the far left Congo hippo plastic that sits on top of the pop bumpers. My current one has a fairly length crack emanating from the screw hole. I will also purchase the set of 3 if someone has them or just far left one.

Thanks.

I don't have my congo anymore but weren't they hippos? You don't have a magna flip sign for TZ you would like to part with do you? Mines all cracked up.

Thanks for the reply and you are correct, they are hippos. If you are looking for a magna flip sign do you have any of the hippo plastics to trade?

Sadly I don't, everything congo related went w/ the machine when i traded it. I found the plastic on marco's but the w/ shipping it comes to like 35 bucks for just that one plastic piece. I'd gladly pay you for the magna flip plastic if you are interested in selling it though.

Just checked, no Magna Flip sign in my TZ plastics. Sorry.

Did you say that you found that plastic on Marco's now or was that back when you had the machine? Just wondering as I just checked and cannot find any of the hippo plastics on Marco's.

Thanks.

sorry for the confusion, i meant that i had found the magna flip plastic. Incidently, my far left hippo was cracked a little too, i believe this is fairly common, though we seem to be like minded and cracked plastics drive me friggen crazy.

Still looking for the far left hippo plastic. Any leads are appreciated.

Thanks.

Plastics for Congo truly appear to be extinct. No hippo plastics out there anywhere?

Have you thought about adding an actual hippo? See link below. My hippo arrived last week (just need to attach him):

I think there are several plastics that are unfortunately "unobtanium" including the hippos. Good luck with the search...

I found the Congo plastics that I needed thanks to Brian Dendis (prowlerman99) and Richard Smith. Thanks a bunch guys.
