Only a few hours to go on my Ebay auctions

I know many of you have looked and thanks for the interest. I was forwarded here by one of your members and am fascinated by the interest in Action Force. Just felt I would like to share my Action Force hiostory as it comes to an end. I'm 37 and as such did not play with Action Force, I was too old!!. I was a toy dealer for years and have bought shop and warehouse stock from trips all over the world. I dealt in many rare toy lines but whenever I came across Action Force I would buy it. There was no known market and no one seemed to care but I liked it. Hardest stuff for me to find was the 1st series, I always liked those best as they looked like mini Action Men. As the years passed I got more and more enquiries and more and more finds. I must say that now I think back I have sold some mega rare Action Force pieces and some of the prices were high. Always the highest payers were Japanese and German collectors. I was always happy after furnishing details to get offers for pieces, I never knew what to ask.
Some if my finds were 200 cases of SAS, Z Force and Q Force
20 cases of the guy in the Red Guy with the clip on Armour suit ( can't remember the name !!). Loads of AF6 and AF5
quantity of the really Big Base and hovercrafts. and loads more stuff
When I think back now I should have kept at least one of everything. Trouble is when you have a lot of something it somehow seems less attractive.. The items I did keep were the one off finds, the figures I only had one of or had never seen before. Although everything else was sold years ago its these one offs that last week I decided to clear out. I still like Action Force but its in the past for me. Enjoy your toys and may the Battle continue.
regards
Nick
