Hi all,
i've been a member for a few weeks or so and havent introduced myself...so thought i'd better do it!

My name is Lewis and i live in the UK. My older brother and myself had action force (and star wars) as children. Unfortunately we sold the tonne of star wars we had late 80s at car boot sales. Since then i have been kicking myself, and started collecting carded Star Wars in the early 90s.

WE have still got all our original Action Force, and i recently decided to collect carded and boxed AF, seeings how cheap it is compared to SW.

So i've been buying like a mad man lately, to get some nice carded/boxed items....dont tell my gf though! She'll go mad when she knows how much i've spent.

I will be selling off all our loose action force some time, probably as a lot on ebay!

Anyway, hope thats it, and glad to have spoken/dealt with some of you already.

Thanks
lewis

Welcome to the mad house Lewis - good to see new collectors, and new members.

Word of advice - as a carded collector myself - think carefully about selling the loose stuff - the carded's and boxed are good, but it's always good to have the loose items to have a tinker with when the mood takes you? Or at least keep your favourites from when you were young for nostalgia purposes. It was that that saved a few of my carded's form being opened in their time, I tell you. And then I gave in and resumed collecting the loose too! Action Force - more addictive than crystal meth, I tell ya.

I may have a few carded duplicates coming along for sale in the coming weeks - I'll be putting pics here for offers before they go on Ebay, so keep your eyes peeled.

Which ranges are you going for? Series 1 (historical) ,2 (the best stuff!) & 3 (jointed)?

Again, welcome aboard, and look forward to your contributions mate!

Thanks all!

I understand what you mean about the loose stuff. However i might keep skeletron and a commander, but the rest will go. Not really interested in loose stuff...it needs to be mint and boxed!
