Me too. I have the Filecards together in alphabetical order, though I have to keep apart some due to size issues (the '80s ones, 25 Ann ones and ROC ones aren't exactly the same size)

I've picked a few over the years, but can live without 'em really...

Well, it's true. The figures are the most important part, but it's still nice to get the cards when you buy the characters. I wouldn't buy a Filecard alone, but I like them anyways.

Oh, dont get me wrong D.A.,
They are/were a important part of the success behind the toys, just as the "tech-specs" are with Transformers, as it gives you a "in" on the story & back ground to the characters. I just don't have the storage room for them :cry: , besides I still have the comics to remind me of the personalities.

I had quite a few but they were thrown out and the early 2000 ones weren't as good so I binned them. But I do wish I hadn't done that as I have some which aren't bad from the GI Joe vs Cobra range.

i try to get them for the figures I've got.

i don't tend to get the US ones - :torpedo: :snowjob: :grunt: :ripcord: and :baroness: will have to live without them, since they're 'series 3'.

but i try to get the UK ones for the stuff I've got now, although, I've got a US one for Dusty. the only other US one I've got is for Scarlett, because I bought her from the US and she's an '82 non-swivel-arm version.

(my story is, some relative bought her for me from the US as a kid, thinking I'd like her since they knew I had AF...)

(sad, i know)

currently after :destro: , Hydro-Viper, Pathfinder, Undertow and Heavy Duty (V1s all)
