I always say there is nothing more satisfying than saving a toy from the tip. I'm sure repairing those old Joes has cost me more than they are worth, but they look great and they are being played with again ;)

What is the case you are displaying AM in? That's a brilliant idea.

You can get them from Modellers Loft as well. If only I had the room.......
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?

Hi chopper,
pauls right i got the case from modellersloft when i ordered some action force figures,
the case is ok its not of excellent quality but for £8 you get what you pay for, it will certainly do for the time being till i can afford one of a higher quality...or get a display cabinet
