Blood for the Baron!

Sweet stuff guys. How rare is Skeletron loose? Or the Minesweeper for that matter? My rarest (probably the only ones in Australia;-) are Skeletron, Minesweeper and Red Laser.



I have a Z-korps Breaker on card, tho not mint. The Aussie heat has caused the glue to dry right out and its starting to come away. Not sure if that's rare or not mind you.



I suppose the rarest would really be my Toltoys Action Men. Stalker, Scarlett, Flash, Rock'n Roll (Ton up) and Grunt. There is no way to differentiate them from GI Joes tho.



The Quickfire figure is a SATT one, also no idea if he's hard to find or not. And finally here's the mail away hooded Cobra Commander, which I actually mailed away for in 1984;-) He isn't rare tho, just remember saving up all the Action Man flags and sending off to Auckland for him and the Manta.



In the last fortnight I've scored about a dozen new Joes so the shelves are looking real cluttered now. Pissed me right off, I got a complete Roadblock V1, he fell of the shelf last night and his foot broke in half. Luckily it was a clean break. It was late and I couldn't swear at the top of my lungs:-( sh*t happens....

Neil.

P.S. I've got a unopened Skeletron as well.

Yes! It's weird - nothing else has ever been on the card, and Quarrels bubble is just stuck onto it. Has been since it left the factory, as when you lift the corner of the bubbles card you can see where it's not faded beneath the bubbles card (hard to explain). Just seems another of the "just stick it on wany card" mentality for the end fo the range figures.

And okay, now this is not fair - will everybody with an unopened Skeletron please own up???

Out of interest, has anyway got, or seen, a sealed in bag Kraken? Or even the leaflet that offered him as a freebie?

One of these was on the bay a few months ago.

It actually exists? Oh wow. Please may we have a pic for the archive some time?

ive seen a few of these from a couple of sellers in spain, not sure why its slightly more common over there...

It was a guy from Spain who gave us the SAS Boat Patrol box pic - Alfreedom from ebay.

Thank you kindly, Jonesy!

Spain seems to be a good source for boxed stuff. I got the two boxed SAS Para's from Alfreedom, and have seen more boxed stuff there over the years. Perhaps they were sold over there with boxes rather than window boxes?

It never seems to show on Ebay UK though, even when you search worldwide. So best be dusting off those Spanish dictionaries gentlemen!
