I don't know about two of them! A Q force one would look the business.

You still kicking yourself for not picking up that one at Memorabilia a few years ago?

No? that sounds awesome!!! We're talking post-Palitoy? from 1987 onwards?

Is my name being taken in vain again?

and surely it should be "buy two, paint one :enemy: "?

That all changed when an American family moved into the same road as me and he brought with him his American GI Joes and more importantly his Cobra's. They just seemed so much better than our Action Force, then of course the switch happened and I began to pick some figures up of mine own.

I know my local Beaties toy shop in Kingston (Surrey) had a USS Flagg on display in the window in late 1987 as part of a competition where you could win that particular USS Flagg if you correctly identified the figures that they had displayed within it (Maybe somebody out there still has the flyer that went with this?). Perhaps Hamleys ran a similar competition?
