Does anyone know where the Gold Eagle Judge Dredd Eagle Toppers can be purchased from.

eep

these are very hard to come by and usually cost a bomb if you can find them as they are meant to be pretty fragile (hence a lot of them have broken talons etc)

I have to say my JD still plays well without it though

They chose the worst kind of plastic to make these from.. its really brittle. Drop your JD topper and its in many many pieces

Yep, IPB have reproduced these, postage to Aust is just under $50USD.  They have made two versions, gold embossed/plated and the original style.  I was thinking of getting the gold version but I don't want the gold flaking off down the track - if anyone has any knowledge as to how good the embossing is I'd like to know. 

Caveman - helps if you can find a machine with the topper bracket included or even just an ordinary topper and replace it with a new one.

yes IPB did a very nice job running these ( they did 4 colours   gold, silver, white and original gold)

I have the white and the original Gold JD toppers in the games room, there pretty cool and very well made

Look good don't they.  Dollar is up a little bit as well so it may be a good time to buy one.

Here's a repro one for $175usd

These ones have been around for a while.  Can't comment on quality but the IPB ones are much cheaper at something like $146USD shipped for the gold version.
