Carded Palitoy AF rarity ranking.

[wolforrest]

After missing out on a carded Minesweeper and thus realising its rarity I was wondering what in your opinion are the top ten hardest carded figures to come across?

I know minesweeper is rare and short boot über rare and that night patrol are like rocking horse ****.

Anyone fancy listing their thoughts?

[SteveD]

Are we talking variants too you reckon, or just the main three series (ie red & blue card backs?).

[wolforrest]

Feel free to list what you like Steve it's always good to gain knowledge of the different figures and variants. You could make two lists if your feeling really daring

[buddusky]

Don't encourage him Warren or he'll be listing dented bubble variants!

[gung-hoeddie]

It is a tough one to answer in a top ten format as most folk have a bogey figure that they can't find, each list will invariably be different based on how lucky you've been in finding them. I also think that there will be more than ten in the difficulty list, I'll do a list of what I think from each series.

Series 1
Desert Rat
Aussie Jungle Fighter
Night Patrol
2 Para

Series 2
Minesweeper

Series 3
Doc
Snow Job
Flash
Scrap Iron
Storm Shadow
Breaker
Tripwire
Airbourne

OK that's 13 not 10 but I can't tell you that's rarer than that because I believe they are all worthy of the hard to find list.

Ed, I would add the Orange Frogman to the Series 1 list.

[redrage]

The orange frogman or the hombre rana?

[SteveD]

Largely agreed with eddies list, but if we were cranking it up a notch to include variants I'd say:-
Black gloves baron (I mean, come on - ten years to find one???? Ten f'in years!!???)
Blue tassles sonar operator
Orange pocketed space patroller (and vice versa with the yellow pocketed other one).

Speaking of rarity - when was the last time you saw series 1 moc on eBay at all, other than German officer, or sas??? Getting scarce fellas, getting scarce!!

[buddusky]

German Soldier with helmet badges and black gloves Shad.

[redrage]

German Soldier with helmet badges and black gloves Shad.

Ooh! Not got either of them. Never seen either of them to be honest.
Means all my red shadow MOCs have a potential other variant.
