I respect you Graham, you know that and I'm sure Centurions are a toy collectors dream... but what with these and the likes of SteveD and his Buck Rogers figures..well ..it's a bit like unpopular toy lines 'R us around here. :tongue:
Who's got the Dune figures ?... ;)
Say what you want about Dark Horse (people freely do) and his Masters of the Universe collection, but at least they were a very popular toy line back in the day and still are it seems...
see you tomorrow :-D (F.F.F)

We are the ginger haired step children of the collecting world!!

The fact they were unpopular makes the thrill of the pursuit even more rewarding dear chap!! Some of us just like collecting the obscure, or those collections that meant most to us. Or just fancy the thrill of tracking down a new range.

Now CB McHaul - there's a REAL toy range to collect! I never even knew it existed until a few years back, but now I do I want them! But they are hard to find. Very hard. So much so I've not managed to get one of the little buggers yet!

Next on the agenda - Love Boat figures. MOC. Why? As they are so sh*tty they make me smile! Maybe. Or I might just buy some more Lego!

I've not managed to catch it yet, but hoping I can grab them somewhere in one of the obscure channels on Sky PLus on demand!

If you're of the pirate bay persuasion then you can easily download both series :-)

Firefight, if one is to understand the great mystery, one must study all its aspects, not just the dogmatic, narrow view of Hasbro & Mattel.

Ouch! I recognize a lot of parts I sold in a junk lot quite a while ago. :(

Very elegantly put T'Shot! Have you been reading Chinese philosophy like me?

I make an in- bad taste joke about one of the most beautiful ladies in the world (Angelina Jolie), no one types nothing, no white knights to her rescue. I gently mock a grown man collecting a fairly obscure toyline and they cry murder and reach for the torches and pitchforks. ;)
