Good haul!

But that is mainly due to the two figures. European collectors are willing to pay around €25 for a complete TF Tunnelrat, but if you are lucky on the Bay it can reach up to $60 when spotted by American collectors. Just the figure on it's own can reach high levels as well, as the accessories are easily found (same as original version). TF Outback is pretty common, with all accessories it can go up high.

Thunderclap I think is shite, but that is just my personal opinion, so don't put any value to that comment! ;)

You should look at the questions sometimes in the auction! What buyers try not to reveal there is a rare figure! "Hello, I was checking you auction and I have a question: is the black feller with the red beret in good condition?" -> Jammer!

I used to share that opinion till i got one, asides from the same issue of displaying any large vehicle I think it's pretty neat.

as the box says ' 3 vehicles in one! ' ;-)

I had four. The f*ckers took up loads of space and didn't add any value to my collection so sold the lot as an artillery army builder.

In the past I have bought up a quite a lot of lofts filled with toys.

If I remember well the Thunderclaps were acquired within a single month. I admit, having four I thought: "Cool!"

Also had a squadron of four Conquests X-30's, three Phantom X-19's, two Tomahawks. All really cool, but it took up a massive amount of space. Still have armies of Polar Battle Bears, Devil Fishes and Armadillos, but these vehicles are rather small.

Nowadays I mainly armybuild figures: all sorts of Cobra Vipers, Steel Brigades and Action Force Troops. Red Shadow wise I still armybuild everything! Simply, because it is a damn' cool sight seeing all that red! :)

steel brigade army, cool. Have you the elusive gold head version, one of the few figures I've never had, that I would like I should add.

My alley-Viper squad has grown to an overwhelming 9 I think, I think I will have to let my Crimson Guards and HEAT-Vipers go to build them up a bit.

Have you any recent pics to show us?

Recent pictures? I do not advertise my collections or hauls on the internet.
  • I hate bragging. I do not like smearing other people in the face what I've got or can afford.
  • To be frankly honest, my collection is not all that special, impressive or large. At the moment most of my collections are pretty modest actually.
  • There are not so friendly people lurking on the internet. People that might find it interesting to visit your house at night. If you think I am too cautious, these things do happen!
Whenever you are close, feel free to pay me a visit and come see for yourself! :-D
