Where are all the Roboskulls?

[The Baron]

"Look, an old man pulling a box of junk!
Like blazes... that's Paul Gales and his Chameleon."



Don't know how long you've had this Baron, but only just noticed it! - HA!

Ah, I just did it today. Paul Gales is rapidly becoming my scapegoat.

Everytime I try to get a roboskull on E-Bay someone always outbids me and I have noticed it's the same person all I want is one I am not greedy like this person grrr

Do you know who the buyer is?

A loose Roboskull is expensive and I can't imagine the price of a Roboskull still in Box! I read on the board that Roboskull was used in Cobra after Action Force. Does anybody seen a Roboskull in a GI Joe/Cobra box?

I've never seen one, but there's a good chance they were released in Red Shadow boxes with a Cobra logo sticker over the top.

I only ever saw one with the Wild Weasel pilot M.I.B, that went for around £90.
Keep an eye out on the Action Man sections on Ebay and Action Force does pop up now and again.

Wow £90! A bit expensive for me. You must be right Baron about the box with stickers. It could have been great with drawings in the style of the GI Joe/Cobra boxes.

Am I the only person here who owns a Roboskull (bought a loose dirty one last spring but it cleaned up a treat!) but doesn't have a Red Wolf to pilot it?

I was so happy to finally get a Roboskull, I forgot all about getting the pilot for it d'oh!

Do go for a lot on ebay?

We all know that there still are some Roboskulls to be found, but the question is why are there so many Red Wolves compared to Roboskulls?

I think a lot of Red Wolves ended up in the clearance 4-packs. That also gives a proper explanation why there are so many Z Force Minesweepers and Krakens around without accessoiries.

For a Red Wolf I would not pay more than a quid. They are rather common.

I've seen 3 roboskull on ebay in the last three weeks (and 1 complete)! But this is true that they are rare compared to Red Wolves figures. I have an idea about that. Roboskull are a bit fragile because of the wings. So I can imagine in parent's head years later sons played with roboskull: "Why do I keep this horrible redskull with broken plastic on the left and on the right! And I need place in my garage! It will be better with garbages."

[Lady Jaye]

That would mean that 9 out of 10 parents would have chucked out the Roboskull, but keep the Red Wolf? I find that a little hard to believe. With most vehicle/figure combination, the figure is bound to get lost the most easy.

I have stumbled across quite a few Red Wolves on flee markets in Holland, but Roboskull was never sold in Holland. As a matter of fact, not a single item of wave 2 was ever launched in Holland: Roboskull, Transporter, Sealion, Minesweeper, etc. However, the clearance packs were sold over here during the last days of Action Force. I remember going through all the packs to find the best selection of random figures.

[Tired Fighter]

Ah ah, you're right! I just wanted to think my parents are not monsters (or the only one)!
But look at that, someone selling a Roboskull without Red Wolf on ebay.
