G'day and welcome, mate. This place is a great haven for those that love AF, and yes, its a bit bonkers.
Re: Greetings, from across the Ocean
Thank you all for the kind replies and warm welcome.
I have been doing a bit of research and have found some of the pieces that I would like to have. Initially, I had thought to make a version of the G.I. Joe Sky Patrol, using International members. I recently purchased a Starduster figure with no accessories and with poor paint, but I got him for an unbelievable price. At any rate, this led to finding this wonderful site while trying to research various non-U.S. Joes to fill out the ranks. But after looking at all of the wonderful figures, playsets & vehicles, how could I ever limit my team to just airborne troops.
After all, who could look at the Silent attack, or the Sealion and not want to make them part of their arsenal. So, with no further preamble, here are the toys I would like to have in no particular order excepting of course as mentioned. Again, thank you for your warm wishes, may all of your battles be won quickly.
1) Blades - this is the one I would like to start with. As long as his thumbs, nose (except paint), elbows and crotch are intact, I'll be satisfied. no SAS logo is perfectly okay. I'll replace it.
2) Silent attack - Just the Kayak is okay, I can search for the rest of the pieces. Or make them if necessary.
3)Mobile Missle System - As complete as I can find it. Stickers and any paint wear are perfectly alright.
4) Panther - Again, as complete as I can get. Again, stickers are optional. And for the right price, incomplete may do just fine.
5)Hawk - The only parts I am concerned about are the rotor, the flight stick and the front mounted gun. Everything else negotiable.
6) Sealion - having never seen this item before, I would need the advice of those far wiser than I to determine whether or not I would purchase one in any condition, I just really, really, want one now, LOL
I am sure that there will be other items as I go along, the Red Shadows look to be seeking an alliance with my Crimson Strike Force, mmmm....I think I smell a custom binge coming.
Again thanks for looking.

Michal, you'll get more hits if you place your list here: viewforum.php?f=3
Always worth trying ebay UK as well, where are you based? Many of the lads offer to act as an interim address for sellers who refuse to ship overseas.
