Holy Cow! That's sweet! :shock:
But it looks like Antybots is going to score that baby. :mrgreen: I'm not sure how much 142 pounds is, but I'm betting it is more than I have, considering I just purchased the Battle Action Force collection off of Jonesy1275. (That shipping overseas is beaucoup nasty!)

I'd better go and remortgage the house to pay for that troop carrier. Sure, you can have those parts. I'm only looking for the canopy (yeah right!) Seriously, though I'll probably sell it again after a while. I just need a mint one to finish a Diorama I'm working on. These vehicles cost a fortune. My all time record purchase was a MIB tomahawk, which I proceeded to open and assemble. The fun of assembling it was worth the price alone, so then I went and bought a MIB skystriker and did the same. Pity the ATC isn't MIB. Oh Well.

I truly hope all goes well for all buyers. I think it is very fishy when a seller shows up out of the blue with the most precious things. He has no built op credit yet, so what to expect?

Seems you are pretty new from reading your replies. Never seen it before? This is a classic. :) Don't worry about getting it, shipping to UK only. At first I was pissed off about that as well.

Anyway, price of this item has already gotten ridiculous. Antybots needs to see a shrink and either get a lobotomy or a new mortgage. Come on guys, collecting is OK, but keep it normal. The APC is not gold plated, it's a plastic toy! ;)

142 GBP is around 270 USD, same price you pay for a complete USS Flagg! I got a fair APC, trade it for a fair USS Flagg? :D

Aye, the expected response, yer still nuts laddy! ;)

My wallet is never letting me down either, but nowadays I simply refuse to spend so much on factory produced plastics. When I restarted collecting again I have paid too high prices for things by getting too blind and too greedy. As I have realised by now, all the bargains come in time! :) Waiting, exploring, excavating, makes collecting so much fun!

In the mid-eighties in Holland most Action Force was dumped for almost close to nothing. I remember me going to the toyshop as a 12 year old with 2 Guilders (60p) in my hand. I was able to buy 2 figures for that! OK, it is 2004 now, but there is still no way I am going to pay the price of unique art for generic plastic.
