$99us and $28us postage to Aussie, can't be much different to the UK. TBH Mine worked out to be about $80au, or 40 pounds, inc shipping in the first place so its not really that bad I guess. Especially considering the Aussie dollar took a dive right about then too. :roll:

I'd reckon if you can swing it, it would be a good idea. Soon these suckers will be near impossible to find. Praise be to Airedevon.....

Here are the articulated chaps, 3 customs and the rest original. Cutter has also arrived and given them a rollicking for being a bit tatty.

Steeler is the latest and he's sporting a Duke helmet with a space force visor all painted up for the occasion. He hails from Greece and enjoys drives in his little tank..........

Yeah Eddie. He is the same mould bar his head. I got him in a bag o bits off ebay and liked the figure but his old feller was busted and legs were missing. I was going to paint the WW legs but decided I liked em red. ;-)

Incidentally, I was perusing Yo Joe yesterday, reading up on loose knee fixes, and discovered that Skystriker with intact elbows is a rarity.

I always thought that the Falcon case was black, but then I was always an Amiga man myself, how many versions of the ST did Atari produce?
