I’ve been off work this week .. I think the saying goes…” the devil makes work for idol hands “ I said only last week…NO MORE ACTION MEN… So I’m looking through Facebook marketplace this morning and a guy has this up for sale for £40.. He’s only 15 minutes from me.. I’ve never had or wanted one of these .. So one hour later I’ve offered him £20 …he’s accepted , and I’ve picked it up… Don’t know what I’m gonna do with it …? But I couldn’t resist for £20.. The box is a bit shabby, but all the flaps are there .. The speeder has a wheel missing Unfortunately this is not the first thing I’ve bought on my week off… Photos to follow….
I need help…

I told you so ! I keep trying to stop buying and just hopelessly fail . Not the most popular vehicle , but still a good buy at that price I would think . I guess your choices are to sell it on or get a couple of Space Rangers .

If you find a cure let me know because I suffer from the same affliction. My Space Rangers are jealous, they have to walk everywhere.

Twenty quid? And no shipping charge? That sounds like a deal too good to refuse! Nice find -- I imagine those rigs are somewhat rare, particularly complete and with the box.

Action Man certainly found a good way to take advantage of the sci-fi toy craze generated by Star Wars by modifying existing designs or using cast off Six million Dollar Man items. Excellent find for a great price!
