Well mate, I can tick one off for you - series 1 deep sea diver didn't come carded - only boxed with the diving platform, so that's one less to find!!

Ah yes true! Slipped up on that one.. and cheers Steve for pointing it out as it's reminded me that I've a shabby box for AF7 with no diver and the platform is missing most of the pieces.. 1 less carded figure, 1 more upgrade to get!

That's a hell of a list, a few of us here have challenged ourselves with that very same quest, there are a few one that list that are very tough to find, top tip is to be patient.

Thanks for the wise words Gung Ho-Eddie! Even wiser now I've veered towards collecting variant cards and boxes now too..

I don't do every carded variant because I'm not as OCD as some, I do boxed variants though the two I need are the v2 black hyena and a picture box boat patrol.
