New To The Collection Of Cool

I found this one on EBay of all places. The box is still nice after thirty years and the contents are complete - right down to the unused sticker sheet. It's too bad that no figures nor the Turbocopter come with the Freedom Fighter play set. Now I have more pieces to track down on the cheap. This one I got for about 40 dollars shipped

 

 

I love looking through the instruction booklet (included) and know for certain that I have everything that originally came with this set in 1984. Even the sticker sheet is unused which is the way it shall remain. That is something almost never see since most kids in the days couldn't wait to add the stickers, especially the big Captain America Symbol on the landing pad.

 

 

The Thundercopter looks great and come with a Captain America who never used such a vehible in the comic book series the Secret Wars Toys sprang out of. The first Cap in this line in lame because they also gave him a hologram shield that only changed the picture when you turned it to a different viewpoint. Very lame.

 

 

I have none of these but am on the hunt for any packaged Secret Wars figures. I have several loose ones downstairs but I always kicked myself for not picking more of them up when they were originally on store shelves. But now I have the fun of tracking them down. Stupid collecting bug.

 

Of course the Holy Grail piece in this line is the Tower Of Doom but to find him in the same complete condition as the piece I just received may be a lost cause.
