Those were the days! Nowadays kids need to be overprotected for no reason. In the 70-ies and 80-ies we were able to gobble down all sorts of industrial glue, paint our face with waterproof Humbrol and still our parents were not worried when we lit ourselves!
Building bases, playing with toy guns, riding bikes with cards attached to make motor bike noises, and not a PlayStation to be seen.
So much fresh air and exercise was gotten whilst trying to see who could chuck Sparrowhawk highest into the air!!!!
I find that collecting MIB products is impossible, every time I get one I just have to open it and build it.
I am so weak!!!
Of the lose in perfect condition I have everything except Gaucho, the ariel from the APC (I have 3 broken ones!!!!), Action Force cardboard base and a Swordfish. Most figures I have many multiples.
I am just starting to collect the Palitoy Action Force and Cobra stuff, (have many of the figures and vehicles now) but only in huge lots on ebay. this way I can smash up the Hasbro figures to make cool cutoms of the original teams!!!!
