I would love to but first of all that would ruin me :-) and secondly I would rather try to get all the various figures than focusing on variation of each release. This is also why I have decided to leave out the Night Force for now, they are hugely overpriced (£30-40 in loose) and I dont have any recollection of them from my childhood as they were US releases that never made it to the European leaflets (not in Denmark at least) like the Tiger Force did.

Night Force was a Toys 'R' Us exclusive, that's why.

Okay, explains it then :-) They are still somewhat cool looking but not on my most-wanted list for now due to the price.

Nice figures Rene, night force can be a pain in the arse to source, but seriously worthwhile.

Well, I found one seller in the US with the entire set but not ready to just hand out £30 a piece when I have so many more vehicles to get for all those figures I have now ;-) I still would love to get "the Big Three"= USS, Defiant and Terror Drome and eventhough my french friend has the Defiant for me as well I dont have the funds available for such another giant "investment".

I have always liked the harder to find stuff, not sure I'm yet ready to shell out for the likes of the SMS, CAT and Night Force vehicles.
