Has anyone seen this on ebay ? Carded SAS Blades

[Andy1672]

I currently have this on my watch list ......

I dont plan on bidding, but im interested to see what it goes for.

I know this figure was a repaint of tripwire .... but does an SAS pilot really need a metal detector ?

Hi Andy,

it's odd as I have come across one just like that, but not related to the auction in anyway.

I think there is ...... or was ! a similar example in the BFTB archives.

Yeah I saw one sell in America not long ago maybe it's the same one that he is re-selling??????????

[Dave Tree]

this is one I handled;





The accessories caught my attention straight away, as had never seen them packed with the figure before.

Here's your answer;

A limited number of these figures were available domestically at the 1992 G.I.Joe convention, packaged as "Tripwire".

perhaps, but there is no way the one I handled was a convention exclusive, this one predates that by around 8 years

1984? That's when he was released in the UK, wasn't it? Showing your vintage Dave Weird with that mine detector.

[Andy1672]

could they be Palitoy overstock given away at the convention at a later date ?
