Fantastic! You went for it! Good stuff Paul, and a very good way of getting those rare items. I'll bet more than a quarter of it gets kept though???

PM sent about Orange suit.

OMG !

does that mean an action force custom for each one then?



HAH!

No Andy, although it will lead to few new smaller customs.



I'm not going to keep it all, there's just no room, I haven't the cash, and I don't actually want a fair bit of it. Stuff like the footballers, cowboys and indians, etc don't really interest me.

I'll be keeping at the very most a 1/4 of it and ebaying about 3/4 of it to get some money back.

Which leads to me to....

If anyone is planning on buying any more AM stuff, send me a pm and maybe you could buy it from me if its something that I don't want to keep.

I'll do the same price as Modellors Loft, but cheaper postage so you'll save a couple of quid. Man, deal of the century heh!

:doc: :doc: :doc:
WOW!!!!

Paul, I am planning to buy some more stuff (gradually) will PM you once I work out which ones.

AYE CARUMBIA!!!

wow, when I saw them on Sunday at the NEC show, they did mention that since offering the full sets in the last two weeks, that they had sold 8, which they were really surprised about. They did say a few more sets were on the brink of selling out as people seem to be panic buying now they have announced no more.
So glad one of our boys got in there, but Paul, you're going to need an extention to display all that :lol:

That really is awesome and it will keep you busy for at least half the year putting them together. I'm up to 15, and it really needs to stop there, it started with one, then I thought could do 3 or 4, then worked out 8 is possible, then 12 and now 15. When will the maddness stop?

I did however pick up something uber-cool to display that is related to the vintage side of things, but will have to wait until the display room is complete to show it ;-)

Cool stuff Paul, has the other half called the men in white coats yet? :-D

Dave.
