Newcastle isnt on there but i think this is the official list and Newcastle was withdrawn with only a few sales escaping through Cotswold and Alan himself

very informative mate, great upload

Thats quite an extensive list! What would say are the more desireable pieces/sets? Im thinking about getting a few to display as all my VAM stuff is falling to bits after 6 years in a damp shed but would rather get something that has a chance of holding value (until it all gets re-released that is!)

Hard to say really mate but as a reasonable guess i would say the following are proving quite desirable already but this is a great question for everyone to answer.

Obvious 1st choice is a carded Newcastle footballer with jacket, then the following



2. NAVY FROGMAN & PAINTED SAILOR HARD

4. LIFEGUARD & FLOCK SOLDIER GRIPPING

6. AMERICAN GREEN BERET & PAINTED SOLDIER HARD

8. DEEP SEA DIVER & FLOCK BEARD SAILOR

9. GERMAN STORM TROOPER & PAINTED SOLDIER HARD

16. PARACHUTE REGIMENT & FLOCK SOLDIER HARD

20. MARINE COMBAT & FLOCK SAILOR

22. BRITISH INFANTRYMAN & PAINTED SOLDIER HARD

32. AFRIKA CORPS LANCE CORPORAL & FLOCK EE BP SOLDIER GRIPPING

34. BRITISH ARMY OFFICER & FLOCK SOLDIER TALKING COMM. GRIPPING

38. RUSSIAN INFANTRYMAN RED PAINTED SOLDIER HARD

66. GREEN POLAR COAT NO FIGURE

68. POLAR SLEEPING BAG NO FIGURE

No more than personal opinion though mate and i truely believe it will all be desirable some day

Well Ive just taken my first step on the 40th ladder and left a few bids - wish me luck! It would be quite interesting to try to bag the lot but then I dont have that much room...or money

Nice!
