Im in the same boat myself, Ive been to lots of SF fairs, and their are usually a few odds and sods of AF.

The first of the London AM shows is in march, it is about 15 mins drive for me, and only a quid so if it isnt any good it is no real hassle. Ill head along to it and post a review afterwards.

Went to this today for a look round and shop.

Admittance is ?1 to get into the two shows.

The Sci Fi Collectors fair had some MOC new GI Joe, and one stall had MOC Mutons for ?7 (oddly I passed on that). Overall about 50-60 tables, lots of SF figures, very much biassed towards Star Wars.

The Action Man show is in a seperate hall down the road. Only 16-20 tables, of which 2 had Action Force. One had complete loose figures at between ?4 and ?8 each. The other one had incomplete loose figures, but the deal I was offered was to good to refuse.

?6.50 for Original Action Force base (missing only the Machine guns, but Ive got some of those spare anyway), and the following figures: Space Patroller, Original Commando, Original SAS, Naval Assault, Royal Marine + Night Attack pilot. This was half the price they were displayed at, so it was too good to refuse.

In conclusion, some good finds for me today, and I would happily recommend the shows if you are a general SF collector as well as Action Force and live in the general area of Essex/Herts/North London.
