Mis-packs and packaging errors.

Reading through the 'rarest item in your collection thread' Lady Jaye mentions that they have a Night Patrol Pilot with 6 guns, which is really cool.

Also in the thread there is a Red Jackel on a Destro card amoungst others. As a kid, I got Jammer on a Stalker card, which I was gutted about at the time, as I wanted Stalker.

I have a Baron Ironblood with a Han Solo blaster, which is from a totally different toyline (similar to the partnering of the SA-80 with the YPS Snowtrooper).

Is there a thread about mis-packs and oddities? If not, I'd love to hear what else is out there in peoples collections, especially any mispacks from other toy lines like the use of Star Wars accesories.

There is no dedicated thread as such, but anything along those lines will amost definitely be in the early posts of the "Toys" section.

I love the "Hans Blaster" Ironblood! It's one of my favourite variants. I say variants, as it seems to have happened a few times, so I dont think it is just a mispack.

Dave - I have a thing for the mispacks/variants - some of my favourites are in one of my earliest posts here:-

The Quarrell is one of my faves - she's jsut had her bubble stuck onto the nearest available cardback in the Palitoy factory after one of those infamous "long lunches" of theirs!

wow those are really nice Steve, the Quarell is really cool.

With regards to the Baron, I have two of those with Han Blasters, so I think they must be fairly common to find, anyone ever found any other cross-overs with accessories?

They're not that common Dave - it took me a while to track mine down, and cost over £20 to buy, compared to a normal Baron going for five quid or so at that time.

Still looking for a MOC Black Gloves Baron though...
