every carded one I`ve picked up hasn`t had the face mask.
I did wonder the same thing, so it must have been a U.S thing

This one's mine - apologies it's a crap pic and he's back upo in the loft now, but it looks to me like no gun and no face mask, just helmet, billy club and leader? He's AFA graded, so think he must be right.

When I got mine way back in 1986 it came carded with all the accessories, including the gun and the mask and it wasn't one of the end of line products.

From my experience there are three different versions of filecard:

1. Card with English Bio in a Single White Panel.
2. Card with English Bio and Foreign Bio in a Double White Panel.
3. Card with Two Foreign Bios in a Double White Panel.

From watching Lee's auctions it's the 3. that appears to regularly be missing accessories.

I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

I remember from my childhood:

1. Scrap Iron with Three Red Rockets (Actually show on the back of the card)
2. Torpedo with Two Pairs of Flippers
3. Stalker with and without Roadblock's Backpack
4. Stalker with Flash's Backpack
5. Cobra Soldier with Major Bludd's Backpack (Actually show on the back of the card)
6. Cobra Officer with Destro's Backpack (Actually show on the back of the card)
7. Cobra Commander with Snow Job's Laser Rifle

I remember seeing Recondo MOC separate from the Silent Attack clear as day hanging on a peg in Fenwicks in Newcastle, does anyone else remember seeing him?
