Blood for the Baron!

It keeps popping up, then going, and I always wonder if it's sold or not, and then a few weeks later he's back again.

Does raise an interesting (and prying) question, as to what's the most expensive figure anyone has ever bought? Mine funnily enough, was my Minesweeper - £175 including postage. I still feel a bit queezy when I see that amount typed out to this day!

More recent expensive figures are my Buck Rogers Twiki (and a mere week later I snapped up a Buy It Now one for less than half the price!) and, I guess, my Flash Gordon Vultan, as I had to buy a whole collection for more than £200 to get him. I plan on selling off the duplicates though, and I'm guessing the figures sold seperately will ultimately cover the whole cost of the bulk lot, so he could work out to be a freebie. Hopefully.

The most expensive ones for me so far are the German ones at approx £25 (The ones that I won last week from a bloke in Switzerland). Better start saving my pennies for the elusive Minesweeper.... or I could divert some cash from the ring fund or then again may be not.

Thinking about it I paid £75 for a MIB Escape armour and £50 for a MIB Triad Fighter earlier this year.

Paul, any chance of some pictures of your German MOC's please?

I wouldn't even like to guess at what Airdevon has spent, I just look at her collection awestruck, wondering if my collection would ever get (be allowed to get) as big as hers. Mind you I think I started fairly late in the game so I'm sure some stuff may not come my way.

Paul, here's zee germans. Nothing extra added, german-wise anyway, since I took this photo:

They are from the same source as the ones you picked up on ebay last week - see the orange price stickers.

Thanks Paul, are they the most common ones to be listed? My set are almost identical less the ATT Captain and WATT Pilot.

No, they are all 'super-rare' Paul.

Its just that these ones were 'discovered' in the back of a Switzerland toy shop earlier this year.

There were about 30+ moc's found.

RCM had about 9, SteveD had a Metor, I had about 12 [of which I sold 5 onward - 2 to SteveD and 3 of which went to you!] and the rest went to the guy that you've just bought off on ebay.

That ebay seller just bought up all of the shop owners remaining 14 or so figures. I was offered them first by the guy - he offered me them all for about £200 quid. I said 'no'.

When I changed my mind a few days later, I contacted him and they had all been sold to the guy selling them on ebay at the moment.

If it wasn't for that Swiss shop-stock find, you, me and the rest of us wouldn't have any german moc's. They are incredibly hard to find...

Wow, I think I'll put them in acrylic cases now instead of Star Cases. There was me naively thinking that they would pop up on a fairly regular basis.

So am I right in thinking that the German range was only for the first wave?

Clemen's website states:

Up to date, no evidence has turned up to prove that the later series of Action Force toys (Minesweeper, Medic, Attack Trooper, Kraken, Space Engineer) was ever sold in Germany. I strongly believe that it was never released.
