Gents,

To complete my '82 MOC collection I've been fruitlessly searching for a Desert Rat, Jungle fighter and Mountain and Arctic AF9 carded.

Can you please let me know if anyone actually has these in their collection or is looking for them currently (feel my pain) and there perceived rarity as to be honest I feel like I've more chance of fining unicorn poo!!! Ive missed out on 1 AF9 which went for 269.00 on eBay and I've never seen the other 2 for sale.

Feeling a bit despondent currently.. :(

Cheers,

J

You're doing well if you've only those 3 to get!

I've got a spare AF9 but the bubble on the snow ski is in a poor state and the vehicle easily pops out, should still display okay, the figure is still on the card. DM me if this might be of interest.

The Pirate and the Gung-Ho got mine Jim! If you've got the Night Patrol, 2 Para and Orange Diver you're doing really well!

Ha Ha! I'd forgotten about bloody Night Patrol lads!! I need him as well (sinks further into his depression). I've got my fingers crossed for another 'Beeches-esque' toy shop discovery!!

Orange diver was my absolute favourite back in the day so i can understand whey there are so few carded examples left.

Was there any rhyme or reason to the configuration of which figures went into which shipping cases? I was wondering if it was per star wars where you seem to get a healthy slug of slightly less desirable Klatuu's in most cases and if you're lucky 1 Boba Fett?
