I wanted a Letal but with every Joe collector in the world on the case it was never gonna happen.
That said with everyone seemingly banking on this auction Ebay was a ghost ship and I picked up a nice MOC Sparrowhawk and a Funskool black and Silver Snakeeyes for half what I was expecting to pay so swings and roundabouts! I was a bit disappointed loosing out on a Funskool Complan Commando which although in crappy condition I thought went rather cheaply at £99 for such a rare figure.

I love how they put the slant on the "our estimates clearly show we didn't have a bloody clue what we had on our hands here guys and totally disrespected and underestimated the value of gi joe" with 'we set the estimates low so as not to deter bidders'.

Steve, the estimates were correct until Spiderpumpkin started to work for Vectis!

Those M.I.B. Transformers look way cool.
Was there any pure Palitoy A.F. era toys in this collection or was it just the Hasbro G.I.Joe based stuff?
