Cheers Ian

 

[Michael Sith]

Yeah they look great some nice figures in there love the mix

 

[Michael Sith]

Added some pics of the Snake Mountain put it together to see everything was there unfortunately one of the manacles has snapped but the piece is there so I'll repair that, happy with this one now. Just need to reshuffle to make space to display, as you say Ian the boxes for Snake M and Castle G are massive!

It's a beast of a play set!

Very nice Mike and I know you can fix it back to it's former glory so a great addition.

Managed to get a bit of a grail a couple of weeks ago, to complete my Action Force childhood focus. Already had a reseal, but managed to pick up a Desert Rat MOC from Ebay for around half the price they usually go for. The card had quite a wave to it, but a few days under some heavy books and it's pretty flat now. Also upgraded my very beaten Baron Ironblood MOC- managed to sell it for a lot more than the replacement cost. Happy days!

Great stuff, always great to complete a run

Well done on picking those up Andy, always nice to see these other toy lines and it's always nice to upgrade items when they come along at the right price

Getting a MOC desert rat is hard hard hard! Well done! Was it super pricey? I'm a member of all the AF groups and everyone is thirsty for the rarer MOCs and roboskulls!

 

[Cazza]

Thanks mate, it was £300! Sold my reseal for £90 (a bit disappointed with that), to offset the cost.

Thankfully, I've got Roboskull and all the MOCs for my childhood focus. AF has gone through the roof- even loose figures are crazy money now.

 

[UKS]

That's a good price. I think I've seen people asking for big money for him and Aussie jungle fighter

 

[Cazza]

Yeah, they're both normally £600+

 

[grinchy]

brilliant additions to the action force collection, and snake mountain looks great to, very cool

 

[Cazza]

Thanks mate.

 

[Michael Sith]

Yeah Grinchy Snake Mountain looks good next to Castle Grayskull, just running out of room!

That AF pricing is eye watering, Cazza ..just shows that there are so many vintage collecting options out there that are on a par with SW Vintage for rarer items ..get a pic up of your AF collection would love to see it, even though I know beggar all about AF it's always good to see other vintage collections that stir a passion in others, thats what this thread is all about!

Can anyone recommend any forums for 80's toys?
In amongst my SW figures there was 2 Visionaries (Witterquick & Cravex), a V1 Destro GI Joe & a Shock Trooper Action Force figure.
Just looking for some advice on worth/value from ppl in the know rather than just using eBay sold prices.
Cheers

 

[lejackal]

Do you want Facebook groups or proper forums?
@Cazza could probably help with Action Force and I dare say there are others on here for the other lines

 

[UKS]

Destro probably a tenner? Shock Trooper under five and something between the two for Witterquick and Cravex I would say.

 

[UKS]

I'm member of forums for both - and the AF/Joe will move significantly quicker than the Visionaries. It seems most V collectors have the figures already. They are all hunting the rare stuff. (Reekon and his vehicle, Feryl and his)

Thanks UKS
Just a couple that were mixed in with my SW. Think there might be a couple more, still got some boxes/tubs to go thro, cheers

 

[Cazza]

Agree with UKS- SAS Attack Trooper £3-4, Destro £10.

Oolas Booty and loads of Action Force groups on Facebook- just do a search. Blood for the Baron is a great forum similar to here, but is VERY quiet these days. Amazing for research though.

Thanks Cazza, I'll have a look

Found these in amongst my vintage MOTU figures, looking for some help identifying them please.
1st one, silver arm & legs parts are removable
2nd & 3rd look as if from the same line
4th is similar to MOTU & has a lighter like wheel on the back that makes the chest/chain light up.
Much appreciated folks

Cheers guys. There's no maker, year or COO on any of them & was unsure.
