Some from my collection...

After just joining today I thought I'd take opportunity of moving a few boxes of my carded/boxed collection from the tried and tested spot of under the spare bed to rejoin the rest of the collection in the loft.

Figured I'd snap a few pictures of some of my more interesting items to post on here whilst doing so, so here goes....

(I realise most here are more interested in the older Series 2 stuff, and most of the pics are series 3, but most of the series 2 stuff was already in the loft. I'll take a full set of pics of the whole shebang someday soon - although loose stuff is still stashed at Dad's house!)...oh, and sorry the pics are a bit dark or "flashy" - it started to get dark...

Vehicles first... (see other thread for posts about my promising to scan some sticker sheets in soon)

Yes, you saw that right..."One more pint before back to the factory John? - Go on then, just a swift one"...

Many thanks to the Baron for his help to enlighten me from my ludite ways. I'll do some better pics of the full range at some point.

Haha! Action Force rarities know no bounds!

Thank you for sharing, is there by any chance a Hyena sticker sheet in that little lot?

I personally would sell my unborn for a Wolverine set.

Unfortunately not - the Hyena box displays well, but no inserts nor stickers/blueprints.

Some of the miscards were a real bargain - listed on Ebay as "some Action Force figures, in good condition - some still on cards". No pictures, no description, no feedback for the seller, nothing. Buy it Now for £15. I took my gamble, stuck my £15 down and saw it as a real gamble - figured I may never see anything for my £15, or at best a load of well battered stuff I already had.

Few days later a box shows up and it had the weird Quarrel miscard, the Destro, Baroness and the Red Jackal carded as Destro! Oh, and a pretty manky loose SAS diver. I was like a kid at Christmas, I tell ya! Still my best bargain to date.


Jamar - always a pleasure. That's pretty much my best right there, but looking forward to getting my series 2's out (oo-er missus!) and can't wait to get space to get the loose stuff on display. Will post when i can.

Awesome !! Thanx for sharing ! I'd give the Barons unborn child for some of that stuff too !
Can't wait to see some of your setup when you get the loose stuff out.
Check out the custom gallery on this site there are some great things to see.

Steve, wow! Very nice collection, there!
I specially like the Scandanavian Blowtorch, the German Red Shadow, and the Jackal Destro! Very cool! Thanks so much for sharing!

I haven't been able to log on lately - it was nice to finally log back on and see your nice pieces!

Baron, you mentioned - I think - that you are looking for Woverine stickers (?) They are very easy to find!
The Wolverine decals are on the same decal sheet as the Triad (w Moondancer) and Recondo's Silent Attack. So, if Steve posts the decal set for the Silent Attack, the Wolverine decals should be there, too!

Likewise, the decal sheet for the Sea Lion (w Dolphin) also contains the decals for 3 other vehicles: Whale, SHARC, and Skystriker.

Hope that helps...

Take care, and thanks again, Steve,
Aire

Ah, I meant the SAS Wolverine - same for the Q Force Sealion. But it's worth mentioninng that we have generic AF and Cobra sheets online already.

How come you haven't been able to log in, Airedevon? Is your account playing up?

Please let me know how to get a scan to you, and I will do that.

Baron, thanks for asking -- No, I haven't had any problems with logging on - It's stuff going on in my life right now that is taking all my time and attention. But it feels good to check back here from time to time and escape into the world of Action Force :-)

Take care,
Aire
