Blood for the Baron!

When I was about 6 I started to collect action force. This was back in 1980/81. My first figure was Naval Assault I remember looking at the other figures on the card and Desert Rat looked awsome. I never saw a Desert Rat figure in any shop and this made me want him even more. But After years of searching I have now found one on card . It cost me ?21, which I think is a great deal!

Now my 25 year search is over it feels funny, but there's always more to collect.

its a great feeling to get something you always wanted as a boy but if your like me where do you stop im currenty upto 5 storage boxes of moc and mib with around seven items to complete and 8 storage boxes of loose all from a conversation about toys and ebay and god knows how much money and searching worldwide and thats all been done in 18 months good luck

It is a great moment when one finished his quest!

@ Louie: if you have to complete an item, then how can it possibly be MIB of MOC? If something is missing it is not mint...

no ive got seven items to get like navel assualt moc night attack moc laser exterminator mib not individual items like a gun or wheel

no i just like the old guys ive not gone as deep as you have i look at your additions with envey cobra and af are not my cup of tea sas z force q and space and barons buys is enough for me and my wallet

I know a shop near me that has a carded navel assault for sale

My collection is only missing the 2 holy grails of the AF world a complete Z-force Minesweeper and the complete Command Centre .

Getting all the is an awesome moment. Realised I'd managed it the other week when sifting through accumulated filthy ebay lucre piled up during absences, sort of an anti-climax in the circumstances but the moment when you know you've got a surplus brings out memories of a 10 year old's shopping spree glee. Now just gotta have a chance to take it all in.

Not so hot on the range either, time, money, etc. My philosophy is just to grab what could be assimilated into the AF v Shad universe! Although original and etc. always find a place in or support for as did back on Op Claymore in Xmas 84...

Now just need a place to stash the stuff and do it some justice...

By the way, I got my first AF figure on my 8th birthday in 1983, I have vague memories of gaping at them in a toy shop during spring 83, will never forget the free copy of BAF with in late Autumn that year... but were they actually out in late 82? Before then I was a total Airfix junkie. As if letting a 7 year old engage with Humbrol, glue and fragile plastic was a good idea...

Yours off to the AF.org website to do some research...
