Hi,

Not sure if anyone collects them as well as Action Force but have the below collection from my childhood available to purchase. Will likely go on ebay unless someone jumps in.

Kind Regards

Matt

Matt, you had a lot of toys!!
Well done for keeping them til now and not going down the always regrettable route of
the dreaded boot sales.
I sent all mine off in the early 90`s, someone had a bargain :)

Well i had two older brothers who this lot really belongs to but was passed down to me when i was growing up. We used to have a huge collection of Star wars toys too but solf them all for a fiver at a car boat sale :( d'oh !!!!!

We used to club together with pocket money etc to build our collections and with most stock we used to pick it up once in clearance sales etc ie my visionaries

Looking back we were quite lucky as kids lol!

Man, I'd love some of that lot! Are you looking at splitting them? what sort of condition is your Optimus Prime? And the purple & black decepticon plane? God, and Bumblebee, and the Fireengine chap?

Prime has no gun and a connector for his door on his trailer is broken. also the crane in the trailer is broken. The plane has no hands and weapon but may be in the pile of guns i have plus has a rear wing missing.
fire engine has the pole that keeps his arm connected and seems to have holes for hands or weapons again not sure what

bumble is somewhere at my Northampton house as he used to sit on my computer desk with beachcomber.

Would probably do them as a lot, or as a autobots decepticon sets. prob with that is im not sure about guns and bits.

it will be a lot of moneys worth to sell as a bulk lot !!!

maybe sort out the damaged ones to sell for spare/repair ?

I saw the first pic and just thought you must have been really really small when you were a kid...

Glad to see your brothers were generous with their toys, my big bro told me he buried all his soldiers in the garden after a big battle and I dug several big holes before I realised he was lying...
