I see a Magnum Power uniform in the back in the second photo. Are they hard to find there? They are extremely rare here, and therefore extremely expensive.
Mine are actually repros produced a few years ago from the now defunct GIJoe club.
As a UK Action Man kid I had no idea about this set until I was an adult collector but can see it was a cool set.
The club repro is really nice quality and so I knew I needed two sets so I could keep one on card!
(Looking at these pics I really feel the need to move this outfit onto a bearded Joe! )
I'm pretty sure the Magnum rifle was unique to this set which has helped make the set so sought after. Interestingly Cotswold Collectables is releasing a new set with the rifle.

I didn't know how rare that set might be in VAM. It was only out for a year before Hasbro discontinued the 1/6 line. Here they are VERY rare. The uniform was made with less expensive fabric, and the three different scopes were often lost. Having a complete vintage set is worth tons of money. The one I have is also the Joe Club reproduction.
Thanks for sharing!
