Where Can I Get FSRs?

Post by excelblue » Sun Mar 09, 2008 3:18 am

I've read about the First Strike Rations, and they seem to be pretty cool. I am wondering where I can get some of them, if it is even possible.

The items that particularly attract me are: the ERGO energy drink, the first strike bar, and the Zapplesauce.

If possible, I'd probably want the components individually, so I can assemble something that fits my own needs.

Welcome to the forums, excelblue!

The First Strike Rations are pretty rare so far on the civilian market. I've only heard of one or two that have made their way to eBay and when they did, they went for very high prices. There's supposed to be a new delivery of FSRs to the military soon so keep your fingers crossed that a few might become available.

Speaking of high prices Kman ---- did you see the old, leaking In-Flight Food Packet on Ebay that just sold (to a buyer in Japan) for somewhere between $115 & $121.00? :shock: WTF?!!

Sorry German_EPA, I already deleted it off my "Watch" list (I don't know if there is a way to recall it). :(

Searching completed auctions for "food packet" turned up a couple of auctions that look like they might be the ones. I'll grab the pictures and post them a little later:

Excelblue,
Kman is very right on the money. I only saw two FSR's on ebay before last year and they went for a lot of money. Looks like we might have to wait awhile for some to appear here or on ebay.
