i have another area outside the command centre that my wife has let me have for one final display i have a few things to sort out yet but intend to finish my own collection by the end of the year, i'm getting shelf talkers made and a few other things up my sleeve to give it the full toy shop feel, once done i will then start my next project which will be to help other collectors find things they need for their own collections from star wars to action man, i will be doing it for fun more than anything else maybe make a few dollars whilst i'm at it but primarily it will be to help others.

That is the vintage Action Man Scorpion Tank.
BTW, nice to see such an extensive Action man collection, Gunghoeddie. All nice items and a lot of variety to your collection.

Thank you, I enjoy a bit of a change every now and again, I always get a collecting lull so I may get fed up trying to find such and such Action Man so I'll have a break and look at something else it just keeps the excitment ticking over.

Hm. Not hard to find online at a decent price, although none of the sellers ship outside the UK.

Looks a lot like Backstop's tank, doesn't it? ;)
-

well, you could always ask someone in Britain to bid for you and ship it over...

the scorpian tank is a massive toy and would be costly to ship, i sometimes bid and buy Action Man vehicles for a nice collector in texas, i posted a boxed pursuit craft not too long ago and that cost me i think about £72 (not sure in Dollars due to my lack of intelligence) there is an economy option which takes around a month to arrive i'm not sure how it travels to take a month, perhaps by bicycle? who knows.
i would help if needed but for action man vehicles postage is not cheap.
