I also collected items that were close in size and design with Action Fleet like:

- Star Trek Innerspace and Strike Force lines
- Xyber 9 ships and robot tanks
- WOTC TIE Crawler and some of the WOTC separatist droids
- some of the Transformers like ARC-170 and AT-TE etc.
- Micro playsets like Turbo Tank, Tantive 4 and Invisible Hand playsets (I even customized the turbo Tank to fit AF figures)
- Tiger Electronics Force Link Anakin's speeder and Zam's speeder
- ID4 Independence Day playsets and ships
- Final Fantasy Copperhead ship
- Epic Duels game figures
- KFC AT-ST
- BSG Cylon Raider & Colonial Viper

My Micro Turbo Tank custom:

Maybe you remember that quite cool Micro Turbo Tank playset with Kasyyyk interior. Now my turbo Tank doesn't have a Kashyyyk Wookiee planet interior anymore.

I removed almost all of the interior Kashyyyk environment, excepting the 2 lateral parts first, on the side doors, which had to remain longer since they were really hard to remove, and didn't want to risk more - but later I manged to do what I intended .  Anyway I took down the large middle land section and also the part that goes up/elevates with the trees and small orange buildings. Some were easy to remove with a screwdriver and others were harder to remove being glued (with tons of glue alas).

I kept all original parts and screws in a bag in the idea that maybe in the future I want to reassemble the playset with Kashyyyk interior - though I REALLY doubt it (you'll see why reading below). I have another Micro Turbo Tank playset which is boxed so I'll keep that one with Kashyyyk interior diorama.

The custom Turbo Tank I made has not only those Kashyyyk planet environment removed. I also added a few things to make it better. First I removed the small middle cannon that looks like a miniature satellite dish and replaced it with a bigger double cannon which looks way better. Then inside I added 2 pair of chairs and command center in front and back of the vehicle.

On both sets of chairs I managed to use the original screws fitting them well in the Turob Tanks' floor. Plus some glue to add strength. All chairs are great for Action Fleet figures which fit perfectly inside. The chair sets came from an old space playset and from a die-cast car.

I also glued the lateral cannon things (those on the doors) and the bottom wheels, so the tank cannot open up/split like it was supposed to when displaying Kashyyyk planet. I also dropped a bit of glue on the wheels so no more flipping Turbo Tank wheel/Kashyyyk log and tree. Then I applied some stickers inside on the chairs and everywhere I could. I had some spare Micromachines stickers which went well here.

Finally I managed to fix better the interior lateral doors. I opened my other Turbo Tank which was still boxed and took off its side doors. The funny thing on this one was that the diorama parts were quite easy to remove except for 2 tiny parts which had to be cut but now I have 2 clean doors for my TT. The others with the dio still attached I added to the boxed TT. I had a few more extra stickers from various MicroMachines playsets so I used them here. Still not 100% satisfied, but this will do until moving to the new house and having more time to work on it.

Thanks The Action Fleet and Micromachines lines are the only ones where i still collect Prequels. Otherwise only OT Imperials for me.

Back on posting, this time Xyber 9 ships and robot tanks which are the closest thing to Action Fleet:
