The therapy is working!

As a lot of you know, and laugh about, I have a de-carding phobia. I just can't bring myself to decard even the most common 40th but..



Old Lancer Bruce has been doing some bashes and the best option for Lancer spares is carded 40ths.



So..needs must...



It does get easier but if anyone has any loose Lancer spares for sale it'd save me some trauma!

@ Steve, good on ya mate! battling your de-cardin: therapy! . Mind you, it looks as if Bruce had no trouble at all opening up that 40th set! I am proud of you Steve

Great pics...

As someone who shares your phobia, good for you!

Now cut out those stars...

It'll mean even more since these aren't worth anything...

I share your pain :lol

If you don't remove it from the packaging, how else are you going to play with it...

Just stare at it and imagine?

Somekindajoe very well done on bring yourself to decard, I'm very proud of you .

Lmao Steve, great photos superb upload

I break out in cold sweats looking biting my nails, then I can't take anymore I open it,

Great Pix AND Collection! Welcome To The Openers Club!

Well done Steve, never thought I'd see the day!

Now get started on those carded sets you have on display

I can't believe you are in the process of dismantling your boxed sets, Steve wake up, let's hope you wake up in time before this vandalism gets out of control.. Someone should to leave a bowl of cold water at the foot of your loft ladder

Clive sure is a Toy Jailer , carded sets SHOULD BE OPENED to dress your action man in or to use as part of a kitbash.

I'm not! I'm not!

I've just bought a couple of 40th Lancer cards to open as it's the easiest way to get all the bits I need.

That's good news Steve,

I'm glad you are still part of a unique gathering who like to keep most of their sets boxed, to remind us of how good it all looked back in the day on toy shop shelves

Hey Steve

Looks like you have found a happy compromise -Bruce looks a happy bunny too

I was thinking of doing the same, Tracking does the last issue German 40th Stormtrooper ... then I saw the prices - Gulp !!
