Away! You have in depth knowledge of a variety of collectables. That's not anal! Just a good source of info.

Yojoe is excellent.

I have found most if not all of my missing US pieces through the Wants section: http://forums.yojoe.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9

When Action Force Online (the old home for this forum) got hacked, Yojoe gave us a haven: http://forums.yojoe.com/showthread.php?t=34946

They have been the most ardent US supporter of BFTB, embracing the UK comics and adding them to their own archives: http://www.yojoe.com/comics/international/

They were also first to host a front-page link to the NewsFlash discovery: http://www.yojoe.com/magazine/2009/02/23_baf.shtml

My favourite GI Joe site.

Erm, as we're confessing, I think "me too!"

Im just anally retentive. Nothing to do with being a collector though I guess thats a symptom...

Looks like its time to mosey over to Yo Joe, Pilgrims.

Paul, Steve and TKW. I wouldn't call you retentive at all. I'm more referring to the types that will criticise a collection if its not 100% correct in their opinion. You guys are pretty easy going. Weirdest one I had was a bloke on a train forum that was wanking on because I was repairing my old Tri-ang trains. He thought they were crap and went off ranting that I wasn't a model train collector because they were inaccurate reproductions. I told him what I thought of him, suggested he should get a manager and stop handling himself. I wasn't going to argue with the dickhead, it was a waste of energy.

In summary, this place is awesome. The only other group of guys I've been involved with that are even close is the Atari collectors fraternity. Long live BFTB. Chink, chink...

Hi Chopper, please tell us more of this "Atari fraternity" of which you speak..if it's half as relaxed this lovable group of rogues I'm tempted to join up..

Very quiet these days, but I've been collecting/using Atari computers for about 25 years. comp.sys.atari.st and comp.sys.atari.8bit are my usual haunts. Probably the last 2 years have been VERY quiet mind you. Anyway, the guys are generally easy going and very eager to help. Similar to here. alt.guitar is very good too (tho a couple of spammers/trolls make it a bit tricky some times). I've shipped stuff off all over the world. Hand cut a nut from Alaskan Walrus Ivory for a Stratocaster I built. So HISS tank isn't the norm Just most other places are.

Usenet can be good and it can have its pitfalls....

Updated wants list ........

Hyena driver crotch and both arms
Major Bludd V1 head
Zartan left leg pad + backpack
2 brown 1st series machete's
Swivel arm Short fuze (figure only or head only or V1 hawk head)
Baroness Rifle
Flash backpack
Right Leg support for Z force Shaft ( it has 19 stamped on it)

Cash or trade any help much appreciated as always !

when you say zartans left leg pad, do you mean his left or my left when im looking at him... face on...

I have a baroness rifle, it might be from the later figures but its the original mould...
