I didn't stop there though...I also picked up a promo poster for the series launch, Marvel Legends Sasquatch (both Orange and White), two copies each of Vindicator/Sas, Snowbird/Puck, Aurora/Northstar action figures, a complete set of Alpha Flight Heroclix figures/game pieces, and a Bowen bust of Wendigo...those busts are friggin' expensive, but eventually I'd like to have 'em all. To my knowledge the ones in existence are:
Puck (small 'P')
Puck Variant (tall 'P')
Snowbird
Snowbird Sasquatch
Orange (Walter) Sasquatch
Vindicator (Mac)
Vindicator (Heather)
and Shaman
If any other Alpha Flight or Alphacentric villains exist someone please let me know. I have not decided whether or not I wish to count Omega Flight toward my official Alpha collection or not. After reading the books, I'm leaning toward not...

I myself have been eager to reaquire my old collections. I saw Ben mention the whole collection going for about 50.00 or so. Is the condition decent?
Vis-a-vis that mini-series, it was a reprint of #s 97-100 (I believe) of the main series.Quote:

Concordantly, I never bought it though I'm a rabid completist. (Weird thing is, we don't even have rabies in Australia. So how did I get it? How? Can you explain that? You can't, can you?)

Forgot to mention...
I also just received X-Men #109 (first Mac/Weapon Alpha) and X-Men 120 (first Alpha) & 121 (first full Alpha). That Alpha Flight Collector page has been very useful. I would love to see an official memorabilia, collector section on the main page though...for us completists. Here it is again from our friendly neighborhood collector guy

That'd be what the appearances section on this very forum is...Quote:

Yeah, but isn't that made up for by having, like, 99% of the most poisonous and deadly snakes and such on your continent?Quote:

Personally, I will live with "the fear" of getting rabies, over meeting one of them deadly creepy crawlies anytime!
The snakes aren't so bad. It's spidersQuote:

that give me the creeps. Especially one of the biggest I've ever seen, the day after watching Arachnophobia.
It was in my bedroom.
Oh, and arriving at the coast last weekend, a huge one crawled down my windscreen... just as my iPod started playing Shelob's Lair. My iPod has a sense of humour, and pays attention.
(Btw... Huntsmen aren't any more poisonous than a wasp. Just creepy.)

Sounds like the wolf spider - harmless, but big enough to eat a gerbil without chewing.Quote:

Okay, so apparently all the spiders in Australia have a wicked sense of timing, Mik?Quote:

Yes. They receive special training.Quote:
