Blood for the Baron!

Well I guess I better introduce myself...
I've been on this board for a number of years (back when it was AFonline with Steve), and am really glad the Baron has kept it up.
I'm based in Bucks, and have been a AF/Joe Fan/collector since day zero.
Have really concentrated on my Joe collection, but since Hasbro have decided to re-invent the wheel e.g. produce 4" figures (why Hasbro?) I'm going to try and give more time to my AF collection.

I've also kept track of other 3 3/4" lines through the years so can idenitfy parts from other lines.
The other 80's gold that I keep track of is Transformers (but unfortunately have neither time nor money to collect).

You may have seen my website "Special 0ps : Action Force or Special 0ps : GIJOE" which I don't maintain anymore, but there is a pretty good AF archive there which rivals BFTB!

Till all are one, er I mean Blood for the Baron!

Hi Sombras, welcome aboard!

Have to ask what the 'dangerous job' is?

Traffic Warden?
CIA Operative?
Working for the wife?

The mind boggles...

Do you saw the Final Destination Movie when the boy get splash by big piece of Window Glass? I cut those glass wall pieces. I deal with 2400 MM x 3800 MM Glass sheets from 3.8 MM thick to 20 MM Thick every day. The machinery do most of the work, but when a sensor fail, I have to go in to check and repair it. Once I have to remain inside the Robotic Suction car Activating one metalic sensor wile he put a Piece of glass orizontaly. It was like a Hydrolic cufin closing, burring you alive. I love my Job!

I kow the filling you have about the Transformer toys. When I bought my current home, I say, Now I have the space to place all my collections. On that Time I collect Legos, Star Wars, Sci-fi movies Character and Of cours Joes. But kids came and the space is gone. So basily I have left only the joes in the family room and store away in boxes are the lego bricks. The other I sold them. and miss them. My time is also very limited, unless I got injured like this past 6 weeks. I have the oportunity to put some time to my hobbies.

About my nickname, yes, it traslated to Shadows, My Friends gave it to me when I desapear for weeks and then came back to school. Also they say my eyes changes collor when I get mad and that scare them. I do have ambar eyes, some times green and other times yellow. A Dawn Shadow one of them say. I like it and keep the sombras.
Take care. Alexis

hi ive been collecting gijoes for about thirty years now but im kind of new to the action force. i have a few figures and a few vehicles as well but i never really knew much about them. i recently got the action force best of collection book and im amazed at the great stories in it. its a shame it took me this long to realize an entirely different side of the battle but im going to try to find as many stories as i can.

welcome to the boards!! I was very similar to you, collected joes for years, bought some AF stuff about 10 years ago and didnt know a thing about them ( it was actually a mistake that I bought them ) so I put them away and didnt think about it as I was dissappointed, then DDP brought back the red shadows and I discovered this place and the comics and was blown away at the awesome stories as well. Now Im super happy that I bought those toys all those years ago LOL
