A few surplus loose items for sale/trade

As I've droned on about at length - in a saga that is almost as longwinded as Stormshadow Down Under I'm currently sorting the collection for display.
It's become apparent that I have way too much stuff to display it all nicely, so I've decided to sell a few duplicate bits, rather than just put it back into a box in the loft.
So far I've decided the following can go for sale/trade (I will be keeping the drivers for each though):-
Red Cobra Hiss Tank - complete, and in good nick.
At least 1 Cobra FANG - red missiles version - I think missing engine roll cage cover (as always). Will have runners/landing gear glued by time I sell it, as they snapped in transit.
SAS Wolverine - complete, other than the tow rope.
There will defintely be more to come I think. I will post some pictures once I get everything else sorted, but if anyone is especially interested, then PM me and I will do pics sooner.

Gives me an excuse to re-post one of my favourite "late night bored" pictures of all time, that was lost in the 'Great Crash of 2008' (shades of Vicar of Dibley there).

A few pics - first refusal already given on SAS Wolvie and HISS though.
A little dusty, but good condition:-
Looks like the shield has been glued in it's time, but it opens and closes perfectly - looks like it may have cracked at the hinge and been glued to prevent snapping, rather than have actually snapped:-
No pics of FANG's yet - but I will once I fix them.
Also, few more bits, if anyone is interested:-
Any cardbacks collectors out there (free to anyone who wants them?)
Also, and I know it's not AF, but I have this chap who is destined for Ebay, unless I get an offer on him first:
If anyone is interested PM me, and we can talk prices or trades, or I can give more details/photos?
Cheers,
Steve
PS - apolgies pics a bit blurry - I dropped my camera the other week and it's not responded well.

Come on Steve-o, you're teasing us with these pics!
Let's see the dedicated 'Collections Room', or 'Command Centre' as I call mine, in all its glory please.
All that plastic nostalgic loveliness....

Patience dear boy - patience!
It's not ready yet! Turns out some of my oldest figures needed a bath in some hot soapy water before displaying can commence - I must have had a Push Pop in my hand as I packed them away ready for the loft or something all them years ago.
Teams are grouped, stands are poised ready, and cabinets are polished though, just waiting for the final push to get the HQ Online.
ETA - mid next week...

The striped shirt really gives you a slim edge!

The only thing that would give me a slim edge these days is months of exercise I fear.
I was trying to get out of the photos, to no avail. Just a good job I'd popped my trousers on before taking the pics I guess!
