I am a new guy to this site.

Post by Celticjoe »

Hello i am new to this site and am back collecting Gi joes again for about 1 year. I have collected a nice few figures and vehicles. But am now looking for night force figures and a uss flagg. Can anyone help me with these. The problem i also have is that i live in Ireland and most do not want to deal with me or have mad shipping cost.
Thanks

Welcome aboard, Celticjoe! Do please make yourself at home. Spunbowler was selling a USS Flagg recently, I don't know if he managed to shift it yet: http://www.bloodforthebaron.com/phpBB2/ ... =28&t=1741

As for Night Force, I'm not sure if they were ever released in the UK. Does anybody know for sure? I suspect your best bet would be to post a Wants list at the http://www.yojoe.com boards - I always mention that I am in the UK and then say I have Paypal not to put people off!

Other than that eBay. I always check on eBay US as well - there have been times when I've wanted an auction that only shipped Stateside and the seller won't budge, and so I've asked fellow BFTB US members to act as an interim address. It costs a little extra but works out well.

Night Force was never released in Europe.

USS Flag from USA to Europe -> expect to pay over 200 USD for transport. Luckily the dollar is at 3rd world country levels.

Fellow collector still has a few Night Force figures left: http://www.gijoe.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?id=7556
On the same site, you may find a USS Flagg here: http://www.gijoe.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?id=7730

Al prices in Euros.

Welcome here!
On Ebay.com(US), a lot of sellers write ''shipping in USA'' but ask them for international quote, most of the time, they ship out of the US.
Good luck!!

FYI: that Tunnel Rat is not the original Night Force, but a TrU 2004 re-issue. Figure is missing phone.

I always do when I see something interesting. Domestic auctions tend to be priced a little friendlier than auctions targeted abroad.
