Blood for the Baron!

Hello there, is that Geordieland? i.e. Newcastle in the U.K. home of Broon Ale etc.?

i was born in hexham and lived in gateshead most my life
i now reside inbetween smoggie land and sheep shagger country!!

Hello,

I live in Rowlands Gill! My Grandma used to live on Brinkburn Ave. in Gateshead!

I'm guessing Fenwicks was your main source of Action Force?

Do you remember all the Palitoy Action Force and Star Wars Tescos in Gateshead had, that was some Toy Dept. upstairs!

Jon

i lived in crawcrook, not realy gateshead at all but that is what its classed as!!

i remember the af and sw displays in Fenwicks well
wonder if any survived, would be amazing to see one again

i saw darth vader at tescos, i heard the breathing effect thing then just saw this black figure walking down the shop,
was terrifing i can tell you at the age of 7 or so

Crawcook...which school did you go to?

Those store displays were awesome, there used to be loads of Action Force. I also remember John Menzies at the Monument got the cardboard Action Force HQ there. I got my Z-Force ATC and Z-Force Base from Tesco, I might be showing my age but do you remember when it used to be Shepherds?

Biggest regret was passing on a basket full of MOC AF figures in the sale at Robbs in Hexham, that was when my interest was waning...dam they were all there as well, probably could have had a full set for a tenner!

Where are you now Zakkfan? Not that I'm coming to rob you - just that your description possibly places you somewhere near where I grew up (Middleton St George, near Darlington)?

Although I'm now in Sheffield.

Hello to everyone. I am from Puerto Rico, Just sing up by invitation of an ebay user. The firts time I saw Action Force items was when get a GIjoe present. It was a Spain version of the Artic Blast. It was the only item I one as a kid that says Action Force. I was impress for the insert cataloge and colud not do anything because, a kid without internet (in that time How many People of the word have online access?). I 32, to kids a wife, and a dangerous job. I am prey good indetifiying parts from figures or vehicles, if any one have a strange part never knew for what vehicle is, I could give a hand.
