Thanks! That's the best haul I've had from ebay I think, though I have had some good finds in lots. An unexpectedly perfect condition Cobra Officer and Cobra trooper were in a lot a few weeks ago. They are mint as can be and I didn't own either of them previously. In that same lot was a Big Boa with his elusive mask hose, but I already had one I paid far more for singly.
I may trump my previous best depending on how the latest lot I bought turns out... I paid a lot for it, but it's a lot of ARAH for my money. Includes a Hammerhead, Skystriker, TTBP, Raider Tank... about ten vehicles I think, and 60+ figures, including a good looking Ace with helmet, the European exclusive Spirit, a decent-looking BAT among others. It all depends on condition though. It's a gamble but it all looked good from the pictures. We'll see... |

I recently purchased a Buy It Now lot of 20+ figures on ebay, of varying completeness. Paid £100, which is steep you might say, until I tell you that one of the figures was Tiger Force Outback, who was near-complete. The seller had no idea what the figures were beyond being his childhood toys. I caught the lot literally two minutes after he put it up, I was just lucky to be the first to see it.
Also included in this lot was the Chinese Tiger Force Flint/Falcon with his accessories and Spirit with glider in great condition, amongst other things. It was a no-brainer for me.

Oh, and one more at the risk of flooding the thread... I recently picked up a complete Snake Eyes v2 and Storm Shadow v1 on ebay for £30. Storm Shadow and his weapons were perfect, worth more than the £30 alone. Snake Eyes had his standard issue broken crotch, but last week someone listed one with just his uzi, but more importantly, an intact crotch. More importantly still, he ended it at a dumb time so I got him for £4.20. A complete and very near-mint Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow for under £35 counts as a good haul to me!

Picked up a few random figures, including a complete mint set of mail away international action force figures from 1993, and a set of Star brigade joes. I opened these. All I need to complete my 1993 star brigade figures is the gray variant of Ozone.

Also received this lot of random bits and bobs, some quite useful.
I like the various night force accessories, like repeater's backpack (completed my NF repeater), NF Spearhead helmet, NF Shockwave backpack, and NF Lightfoot robot. Also got the hard plastic variant of Countdown's helmet, Spirit's eagle complete with talons, Stretcher's little communicator, a spare intact AWE striker antenna, and a Major Storm helmet. I already had a Major Storm helmet in a dark gold, but this one is even darker. I don't think either helmet looks like it belongs to the 2003 version. |

I got the Sky Havoc, knock another off my list! The thing is mint! No decals were ever applied, so it's perfect for restoration.
And the Kleenex because I'm a nerd...

I was laid off back in February so I had to stop with my vintage collecting cold turkey. It was a sweet gig so I am bummed about it - have a new job but it's taking up more time and sadly I haven't even spent time with my collection in the past few months due to the new job and spending time with the family. I need to find another job that allows me a little more free time - the 6 or so months of getting back into vintage Joe collecting was a blast. Very envious of all of you (in a good way) that are purchasing vintage joes and giving them a good home. |

I just got a Skystorm chopper and the Raider off eBay. The chopper was complete except for Windmill, and the tank is short the chin gun- my next order. I’ve been looking for a Raider for a very long time!
