Boxed figure filecards

Just working on the toy archive and a question has arisen regarding the :enemy: :zforce: :sas: :qforce: :space: Driver figures. I know that in Wave 1 the Filecards were printed on the back of the windowed boxes, but I don't know about the back of the wave 2 picture boxes.

The new-release Wave 2 vehicles include the Driver filecards on the blueprint sheets. So, were the wave 1 blueprints altered as well as the boxes for wave 2?

Specifically, :laser: :vulture: :stake: :sparrow: :stalker: :wheels: :quarrel: :steeler: :shark: :hotjets: :blastoff: Are their wave 2 filecards the same as wave 1?

Also, has anybody ever seen a windowed :qforce: Swordfish, and did the :zforce: Battletank box alter between waves 1 and 2?

Only way I can shed any light on this is through :sparrow: We have scanned his larger carded fileback, but he's the only one solid boxed I have of those you listed too.

Did I not scan the blueprints for it? If not I'll look tonight?

Although this will not shed any light on whether the likes of :vulture: had filecards on the blueprints on the full carded boxed later versions?

Re Swordfish - only ever seen it in solid boxed, never windowed. Jonesy, over to you to produce one from under the bed/out of the cupboard? :-)

Hmmm, now I think about it it's a slightly different rule with the wave 1 carded > wave 2 boxed figures, as they didn't have any blueprints originally.

The reason I ask is the Red Laser archive has some typos in it which I wanted to check against the original, but all I have are the wave 1 Laser Exterminator blueprints, which has no filecard.

As I feared, thanks Jonesy. Digging your B&W BAF avatars, have you been scanning your original artworks?

Back to topic - I checked the filecard from the carded :sparrow: against the boxed blueprints last night and they are word for word identical.

I know that doesn't help much with the likes of Roboskull and :redwolf2: or :wolf: but I guess it helps a little.
