Cool advert, I have access to three (including that one I think), but have never paid for the access rights to them.

The first looks like series 1 advertising the Headquaters playset and dated 09/08/1982 and is 30 seconds long.

The second is Action Force News (so I think it's the same advert) 30 seconds long and was broadcast 17/10/1983.

The last one is titled Land Based/ Space Force, is 40 seconds long and was broadcast 01/07/1984

I don't know if anymore were created, but ther well may have been as it was the number 2 selling toy after Star Wars for Palitoy and certainly for 83-85 there were several UK Star Wars TV ads.

not at the mo, I'd have to purchase them from the film research archive company, which I will do for the book, just not going to outlay just yet :)
