I thought they were reasonable for £4 mate.

Wave 1 stuff is a PITA to find crotches for, but the later stuff isn't so tricky. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you, Eddie.

I hope you are being sarcastic, because Finding crotches?

Sorry, but to me this is a very bad deal. Figures with broken crotches (or thumbs for that matter) I only pick up for a few pennies.

Yeah, but fixing them up is very satisfying. I have 8 figures (from nearly 200) left to repair. It becomes an obsession after a while and I reckon in some cases I spent more than their value, but they were saved from the tip and it gives me something to do instead of colouring. :roll:

I've got loads of figures with broken crotches that I use to populate my vehicles with. If they are sitting down or in a gun turret or something you can't see they are broken. Maybe you could stick some of them in you Tiger Force vehicles Eddie?
