Single Bubble collecting

Post by Coosbay_pirate »

In my short time collecting AF I've picked up a few of the end of the line single bubble carded figures and am now interested in collecting as many of these as I can, possibly even a full set.....

So does anyone know if this could be possible for series 2 and 3 and if there are any of series 1 (bar SAS diver and Leader) known to be on single bubble cards too? Variants included.

I'm sure this is madness!

This is what I've picked up so far.

All end of the line stuff, doubt there will be a full set available. In fact I would bet vital parts of my anatomy that there wouldn't be a full set. ;)
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

I'm sure you're right Paul!

I'm still interested to know how many figures made it onto single bubble cards, perhaps between everyone on BFTB who owns any we could see what kind of list we could compile!?

Interesting idea but like Paul said I don't think there will be a full set out there...the person to prove me wrong would be Big D?

I have single bubble miscards of Gaucho and SAS Attack Trooper and then of course these guys:

The some of the single bubbled figures are Palitoy overstock with variations from the versions that came with the vehicles.

Is big D the same as our little D?
