Hi friends, long time lurker, first time poster.

Is the Gaucho gun black or just like the regular us version?

Thanks

Thanks Andy. From all the pics on this site and others the gun looks more black than the regular Gung-Ho release which is dark grey. Just wanted to make sure. You have an extra bp?

Welcome to the gang, Mike! You've joined at the perfect time to be eligible for our 25th Anniversary grand prize draw on Wednesday.

It's worth pointing out that most Jammer, Gaucho, Blades, Hunter and Red Jackal came with no accessories. No-one is really sure where these pictures came form, they may be the European editions? We've discussed it many a time!

The backpack that came with the MOC version of Gaucho is dark green instead of light blue. However, only the carded version came with accessories and it seems all the bagged versions that came with the Command Centre did not.

Just to clarify, there were no full-sized cardbacks to the "UK11", just bubbles as opposed to bags as they were all released with vehicles.

OK, so if a bagged Gaucho did not come with accessories, but a bubbled figure did. Which version came with the command center? Is it because their are a few different versions of the command center? Or did Gaucho and Jammer come seperate by a mail order?

No-one knows, I'm afraid, we've been discussing this for year LOL. I think the bagged ones were UK reelases, and the bubbles were European, but need to confirm that with one of our European members. You could try asking at http://www.gijoe.nl, it's a Dutch site but they have an english-lanuguage section in their forum.

The Gaucho MISB (Sealed in baggie) without Shotgun/Grenade Launcher was released packaged with the Z-Force Command Centre throughout Europe, this Gaucho has a Orange/Red Waist Coat.

The Gaucho MOC (Bubble without cardback) with Shotgun/Grenade Launcher and Green Bergen was an end of the line overstock, but how, where and when these were released I don't know! I think Aire would be able to tell you. Oh and this Gaucho has a Dark Red Waist Coat.

When I get some time I'll sort some photos out of the shotgun/grenade launcher, I'm pretty sure it was the same as the U.S. version.

Baron, decals are on my list, I'll sort something out just doing too many things at once!!

Cheers
