Blood for the Baron!

After missing out on a carded Minesweeper and thus realising its rarity I was wondering what in your opinion are the top ten hardest carded figures to come across?

I know minesweeper is rare and short boot über rare and that night patrol are like rocking horse ****.

Anyone fancy listing their thoughts?

Are we talking variants too you reckon, or just the main three series (ie red & blue card backs?).

Feel free to list what you like Steve it's always good to gain knowledge of the different figures and variants. You could make two lists if your feeling really daring

Don't encourage him Warren or he'll be listing dented bubble variants!

It is a tough one to answer in a top ten format as most folk have a bogey figure that they can't find, each list will invariably be different based on how lucky you've been in finding them. I also think that there will be more than ten in the difficulty list, I'll do a list of what I think from each series.

Series 1
Desert Rat
Aussie Jungle Fighter
Night Patrol
2 Para

Series 2
Minesweeper

Series 3
Doc
Snow Job
Flash
Scrap Iron
Storm Shadow
Breaker
Tripwire
Airbourne

OK that's 13 not 10 but I can't tell you that's rarer than that because I believe they are all worthy of the hard to find list.

Ed, I would add the Orange Frogman to the Series 1 list.

The orange frogman or the hombre rana?

Largely agreed with eddies list, but if we were cranking it up a notch to include variants I'd say:-
Black gloves baron (I mean, come on - ten years to find one???? Ten f'in years!!???)
Blue tassles sonar operator
Orange pocketed space patroller (and vice versa with the yellow pocketed other one).

Speaking of rarity - when was the last time you saw series 1 moc on eBay at all, other than German officer, or sas??? Getting scarce fellas, getting scarce!!

German Soldier with helmet badges and black gloves Shad.

Ooh! Not got either of them. Never seen either of them to be honest.
Means all my red shadow MOCs have a potential other variant.
