Hi all, great to be here - can't believe I've only just found you! just spend a few hours having a read around the forums - I've missed so much 
Name's Daryl, most call me Darl, I'm a Photography teacher based in Leicester (UK), and collect vintage Star Wars figures (just need some of the last 17), recently found all my old AF figures in my parents attic and all the great memories came flooding back - drawing all the team logos on my school books, collecting Battle Action Force in ring binders (yeah, I punched holes in them - well, I was young i didn't know what I was doing) - I don't think I have the comics anymore, which is a shame as it kind if started my comic collection - something I still do now.
I'm hoping to collect a full et of figures - mostly 2nd gen, but I might venture in to the first ones as well.
My first figure was the orange Frogman (hence my profile pic) - my grandparents owned a newsagents and it came free with an issue of Battle (not sure if it was with Action Force then) - they also had the Ground Assault figure, which I got as well, then ran round all the other newsagents in the area trying to find other figures - I didn't find any more
Anyhow - enough ramblings - I'm looking forward to being a part of the group and finishing off my loose collection (knowing the completist in me, I'll probably end up getting all the variants as well :/ )
Thanks for listening
Daryl
