Hi everyone, just joined the site as i have been trying to gain info on Action Force.
This site seems very helpful and brings back memories of my childhood, I collected action force and if my memory serves me right i collected what i thought was everything except i could never find the scuba diver (can't remember his name).
Now I am sure i still have all of it in my parents loft, boxed... except the action figures which would be loose.
If i am right i also have quite a few comics, albums and a cut out stand advertising action force.
I plan to get it all back to my house so as i progress with collecting it all i will post some pictures, I know it is probably asked many times but what do you think the collection would be worth.
Thanks

Hi Mate welcome aboard.
The value of your collection would depend on what the ebay prices were doing at the time. We would all be able to chip in with estimates once you post your photo's
Cheers
Paul

that'd depend on the condition the stuff's in and to some extent what people are willing to pay for it. some nutters will pay £30+ for ONE loose Red Shadow figure. I, on the other hand, rarely go over about £15 for a single loose complete good condition figure.
MOC goes for more than carded poorer condtion, which generally goes for more than loose. complete loose'll usually go for more than incomplete.

I'm sure that the vehicles and stuff were put back into there original boxes, but looking through the site there are some figures and vehicles that were not shown on the actual boxes.
What i mean by this is i collected all the figures and vehicles on the actual boxes of the action force, but i have seen such things as a Z force helecopter, i only had the SAS one. I never saw these vehicles advertised on the boxes???
Is there anywhere on here that lists the comlpete collection or did it depend on the year it was made?
Thanks

Welcome to the board - there wasnt a z force helicopter, those are probably customs you are looking at - maybe mine if its the twin rotored one...

The Hughs Defender is a custom and I can't remeber what the base toy is

One of the other lads will be able to fill you in.

Aye mate - they're customs. The z force chopper pic with barons pimped out ride is andys, and the sas chopper is based on a corps vehicle I think. Sides of the box are always a good start, but the barons work on the archives here is exceptional - if you work from that you can't go wrong. And we all love a game of "who does this belong to" on here too, so post away anything you're not sure about!
