You could always cover it up with a table cloth & hide it from Annie.

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

No? that sounds awesome!!! We're talking post-Palitoy? from 1987 onwards?ODB wrote: Interestingly talking to some other collectors outside of this forum one of them remembers a display at Hamleys one Christmas of the USS Flagg complete with at least 3 Skystrikers and 2 Killer Whales. Anyone else see or heard this story?

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?ODB wrote:My memories include not liking the original line of Action Force apart from the SAS who were always the best. 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.
