Collecting ambitions

Post by Thundershot »

Hi gang,
As we are fast approaching the new year, has anyone else made themselves a "wish list" of additions or goals they would like to achieve with their toy collection in the upcoming 12 months?

Personally I'm thinking of the smaller items here, nothing really big or too exciting like "This is the year I'll buy a U.S.S Flag" or
any thing like that, just the smaller easier to achieve things like finding that last missing piece to complete a vehicle/ figure, or something like that...

:af: Wise , apart from hoping to find more :shadow:'s for my :enemy: army, I'd like to add an orange booted :moondancer: to my :space:, & buy proper stands to display my figures nicely upon.

Non :AFLogo: I'd be very happy to find the machine gun for my Captain Black figure (from the 2nd version, looks like a Tommy gun) & complete my Ultra Magnus 'figure.

I'd interested to hear what items you guys are hoping to add to your collections in the upcoming year...especially if this is the year you're gonna finally buy a U.S.S. Flag ;-)
More news, as its made, from new Action Force!

well i've a few more Joes to get but i want to get the remaining tiger force i'm missing and get the other half of the 89 series, i was only going to go up to 88' but what the hell, i want to do a bit more army building too i only have one BAT figure and would like more and a few more crimson guards,

palitoy wise it'll be more space force and Q force and the elusive Jammer, and build a bit more of the red shadow army.
not sure what vehicles i will get but something will tickle my fancy at some point.

and get a modest amount of the star wars lego range too but i won't be going mental with that.

Action Force wise its a case of picking up some figs from 86 to 88 and a couple of the vehicles. But I really want to get some of the SAS figures too.

Would like to complete the Series 2 large MOC's (just need the Boat Patrol) also to get some more series 1 & 3 MOC's too. The real dream would be some more German MOC's and a :scout: MOC too. Nothing too outrageous really.......
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?

Hopefully I can finish off my last few original Joes,Oktober Guard and more BAF AF members. Also I want to bolster the ranks of my Red Shadows with more characters like Red Scream.

Just thought of this get the accessories like ladders, a laptop, fuel drums etc for my bunker base from Marauderinc.

Complete my 94 Star Brigade, army build my Alley Vipers, track down the remaining elusive few of my Fireflys and get my first custom vehicle done.

wouldn't surprise me if I look this time next year and all I've managed is to get another couple of Alley Vipers :-(

Complete my series 2 and 3 chaps, then start on series 1. Some bugger has put me on the unholy MOC path too. That's not going to happen while my job is like it is, but I think it will happen.

Also just started on vehicles. No where to put them unfortunately. Shelves are chockers.

USS Flagg? Not likely I think. Much the same as Dolphin and Moondancer.

My ambition is character-based; I want to get specific characters, be it for their importance, their relation to an important chara, just being a chara I like, etc.
