after staring at the picture for the past five minutes as I eat my packed lunch (purely in the interests of scinetific research) I'm inclined to agree.

I would guess they cost at least $1,000 per breast, so I hope the chaps auctions did well!

When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

:-D indeed! And a little bit of :shock: . Best get back to some boring paperwork now though.

Oh, and apologies to Silverc - we've totally jacked the thread, but please, dont feel that it detracts in any way from your awesome collection. It just sort of happens around here (especially when I'm in one of those "It's Monday and I dont want to be at work" moods. Or Friday afternoons. Or days ending in "Y".). If you do happen to have a Bombstrike figure you could post a picture of that would bring the thread back full circle though and put us back on the topic of your brilliant collection! :-D

Did you save the pic purely for toy reference purposes?
Its an excellent shot of the bottom of the aircraft to be sure :.

Nope, its actually our Baron who put it into the thread I started about this Ebay-guys display-"enhancements" :-P viewtopic.php?f=63&t=6263&start=0

And as stated by SteveD, sorry for ´jacking this thread, your pictures that are shown in the beginning are much-much better representation of plastic than on this "Phantom-display-holder" :-D

Those puppies are deffo fake.

Anyway, awesome collection, silverc - displaying the Tomohawk on the Flagg deck really gives an indication of the huge scale of the aircraft-carrier

Also great to see all the ephemera displayed around the room, I love the fan-club newsletters etc.

And I love the bivouac - one of my favourite playsets :)
