Loooong time lurker, first time poster

Post by bighatdino »

I've been lurking for quite a few years now, but never posted, so I figured I should correct that! :)

Picked up my first Action Force figure (the 2 Para that serves as my avatar) in the big NAAFI in Berlin back when my Dad was serving in REME there in the early 80s, and then had a bumper Xmas in 83 made up mostly of Z-Force vehicles. While I did eventually start enjoying GI Joe thanks to the Marvel Comics, Action Force & the Red Shadows have always been my first love.

I don't actively collect the Palitoy line anymore, generally sticking to Hasbro's Joe lines & various exclusives (the GIJCC FSS Quarrel properly lit my fire), though I'm constantly tempted with getting a Roboskull off eBay as it's one of the few toys I wanted but never got :wolf: :D (the others being the ATC, the only Z-Force vehicle I never got, and the SAS Wolverine)

Not much more to say, really, and hopefully I'll start posting a bit now :)

Thanks everyone! :)

Oh, and Steve, there might still be some knocking about on the GIJCC site, and could work out cheaper (*could*, shipping from them is often stupid).
