Gripen90's Action Fleet Collection.
« on: November 25, 2009, 11:27:54 AM »
Hi y'all  :)

I thought I'd post my collection of Star Wars Action Fleet. I primarily collect episode 4-5-6 vehicles and boxed examples (MISB preferred).
I had a decent Action Fleet collection back in 1997 but I traded it all away for TransFormers (Generation 1 - Scorponok, Dreadwind etc), but eventhough I did a great trade I still missed my Action Fleet vehicles. S
So fast forward 11years. In autumn 2008 I decided to get the Action Fleet vehicles I once had, and so I did bigtime... and even more came.
So what I display in the following was collected during August to November 2008 -  all gotten of ebay.



(I have to Green A-wings, but forgot to take a picture of the other one)















This big mofo is just pure awesomeness. The Death Star mode is brilliant - better than SW TF Darth Vader.






(got 3 of them, 2 MISB one loose -see other one below)


(pay attention to the different versions. One with battle damange and external hinged cockpit and tall box display stand. The other is clean and has internal hinged cockpit and low box display stand)

A small overview (not up-to-date).
























These two I got after the other pictures were taken in the living room :)

I hope to get alpha y-wing, b-wing, cloud car and then a Rancor and a Sandcrawler sometime also, then I think my AF collection is complete in my book :)

Thank you ! I have a bad habit of when I'm going to collect I have a hard time stopping or at least not going "over the top".
Besides my Action Fleet I have my TransFormers collection which takes up hughe space, and then there's the Star Wars collection that also takes up a lot of room, and last there's my Power Rangers and Turtles which also take up a small amount of space.

No offense to the carded collectors, I'm a loose collector, never got into collecting boxed/carded items, I like playing with these items, not just look at a box. I've seen people having and displaying a boxed collection of Kotobukiya statues LOL. Should I have kept my MR AT-AT boxed? Or the MR Stormtrooper blaster or Stormie helmet? Or the GG busts/statues?

Higher end items are not to be kept carded unless they are acquired with the specific intention of resale (not my case). And toys are not to be carded either, where is the fun then, just looking at a box? :P These are not expensive action figures that will hold huge values if kept carded. There are guys on Rebelscum selling entire Action Fleet boxed collections and till today they didn't manage to sell them.

Each to their own, I guess, Serg.  I'm sure that Tamer gets a little thrill looking at his minty collection. I do know one thing. I seem to make more selling loose items on ebay than carded. People want that cheaper shipping price, I guess, especially the overseas buyers. Very seldom do I come across a MOC collector there. It happens, just not very often.
