I currently have this on my watch list ......
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=025
I dont plan on bidding, but im interested to see what it goes for.
I know this figure was a repaint of tripwire .... but does an SAS pilot really need a metal detector ?

Hi Andy,
it's odd as I have come across one just like that, but not related to the auction in anyway.

this is one I handled;
The accessories caught my attention straight away, as had never seen them packed with the figure before.

Here's your answer;
A limited number of these figures were available domestically at the 1992 G.I.Joe convention, packaged as "Tripwire".

perhaps, but there is no way the one I handled was a convention exclusive, this one predates that by around 8 years

1984? That's when he was released in the UK, wasn't it? Showing your vintage Dave

Weird with that mine detector.
