Here's my latest buy, after a load of extra money chucked at it, all I need to make it mint is one missile box arm and 1 vertical vane.

La-la-la-la-la, I do not want to see any NF vehicle shots.......
But it does look nice with box and all
You know I have to pay you an unexpected visit if you should ever find a Night Boomer, that is one of the VHTF vehicles that every Joe collector wants.

Yet another update, this represents my most favorite win. Out of the set the Tunnel Rat/Psyche out 2 pack are probably in the poorest condition as the bubble looks like it's been in the sun a bit too long! I'll have to buy a new Psyche out as he's yellow
(Just to have I suppose) there's a scary amount of cracked elbows, mainly thin white stress cracks but they were still a bargain!

Haha! You're more than welcome matey! I have to admit I never thought I'd have the Night Striker, this has been a purchase in the works for literally a year! I'd love the Night Boomer but they just don't come up in Europe, saying that I may have a lead on a sealed one! I have NO idea how much the guy will want for it though

My guess is probably in the £250-300 range......

I take it you're joking? I'd reckon for a sealed one you're talking nearer £800-900, loose mint with a box £400-450.
I've just finished checking all the carded NF figures, shockingly about half have cracked or atleast hairline cracked elbows
EDIT: That's eBay prices! Off eBay for a loose mint one you're talking about $300 which seems alot more reasonable!

Very nice, its a cool combo of two fun vehicles
However that tow-rope thingy is a real pain, had a nice mint Wolverine where the tow rope suddenly decided to snap eventhough I had made sure it wasnt strained or anything........

Yeah, the tow cable on the wolverine / lynx is held way too tight, atleast when they went to re-use it for the Mauler they thought about re measuring the distance, it just sits there rather than being stretched between two pins.
