Blood for the Baron!

i did wonder about buying the second edition does it have more side shots of the vehicles i find the birds eye view doesn't give an accurate depiction.

uhm shouldnt this be the other way round?

how far does the book stretch? im thinking if getting one but im not sure if it will be a book version of yojoe...

damn i always had it in my head they were palitoy and hasbro took over putting there name on it

here are a couple of examples from the book eddie.

thanks squad leader, looks much better picture wise i'll have to get one.

Who knows where the best price is on this book please? I can always google it if no one else has researched it yet.

Anyway, come off it Andy, everyone knows you have a brain the size of a planet when it comes to action figure collecting! You need only flick through the pages of this 2nd edition once and commit them all, index style, to your massive memory.

almost boffin like in his knowledge of the toys.

Superb! Thanks Andy. My 1st edition copy is starting to fall apart! I like the cover of this one! It's like Cobra Commander is saying "Oi! get this bloody tank gun off my head!"


My mate has got a Transformers pocket guide by Mark Bellomo that's really cool. It's got one item per page and because it's pocket size it fits in your....well, .......your pocket.

an aptly named book then ?

back to the original point of this thread .......

this 2nd edition is fantastic although I still find myself refering to Yojoe or the 1st edition because there is no index !
so finding a specific figure means flicking through page by page .... unless you know the year.
