Those tricky last few

I have decided its easier to collect when you have heaps to get. I'm down to the last dozen (2 for Palitoy left, and about 5 Hasbro) and trying to get 1 individual figure is a PITA. Either that or the last ones I need are bloody rare. Cobra Commander V1 seems to be either hard to find, never complete, silly prices or banged around. Now I'm also on the hunt for vehicles they all but seem to have dried up too. Eddie?

Its hard to get that thrill of the hunt when all you see is crap and tracks ;-) Ah, buck fever.

Not me Mark honest, i too am on the hunt for the last ones as it were, i need 28 figures to complete the joe 82 to 88 part of the collection and it's getting tricky and expensive, then it'll be army building and building up a red shadow force.

I can see Eddie moving on to the 89-94 figures, then 97-98, then 00-06, then 07 to present, plus foreign variations, plus army building about 20 Cobra divisions ;-)

Are those loose or MOC Shauny? Obviously apart from the ones that were never carded. I have a 100% logo Red Laser but has anyone got a 100% logo Blades in their collection? Do they exist?

Mate I love loose and free as well. Alot of mine are not even complete and I do let my son play with them but he is respectful. I have one Spawn figure MOC and that is it.
