Just to be clear, the new turrets do NOT come with your mystery box purchase! I added those to my order at time of purchase. Just want to ketp those questions answered before they're asked.

@junkioncraftsandbuilds I mean if we're setting records straight that atlas said it was meant to arrive at my place lol 😆 😂 😅 just messing, can't wait to see them all geared, customized up and displayed.

@@VConley thanks so much...you and Sam always come to mind when I mess with one of my Ops Condors. Much love to you both.

Hello. It appears that you had a fairly good pull of figures...lots of repeats...Do you intend on keeping your doubles? Also I'm catching this from your Facebook and Instagram posts; so what is the deal with the odds comments? 1 and 7...30 and 16? Is that code?

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Hi and thanks for commenting. I usually keep my doubles...well multiples for army building..there are some that I'll offer to friends. I normally keep my AF. As for the numbers, yes it's something ...

I was more than happy with my Mystery box A. I had bought a good amount of Series 1, and 2 when first available between Valaverse and BBTS. At series 3 I had to slow down due to funds, but I got most of it. Series 4 I was very selective for the same reason. So my collection was missing most of what I received in my box. My Vanguard almost didn't happen due to my money situation, but I really wanted it so of made it happen. I haven't even displayed it with the turret because of the shelf I have it not having the height required. When I saw the upgraded turret was available I placed an order and for it and my first Series 5 figure because why not! I bought the Mystery Box after and didn't even care if I would possibly get a second Sidewinder. I do have a question in all this, and not that it matters to me as I only have one Vanguard. How did you get 4 upgrade turrets? Did you have to contact Valaverse? It clearly says one per customer, I'm just curious if they are tracking how many vanguard they have sold to each individual buyer or if you needed to prove it in some way? Others that have bought multiple Vanguards might want an upgrade for each one but don't know how to get around the one per customer stipulation. Also as soon as i got the upgrade, I questioned the original design decision. With the upgrade, the plyable ammo belts don't exactly move well with the new configuration. I wonder if that contributed to the original static positioning? I personally didn't mind the original, but figured I'd get the upgrade to complete my vanguard whether I have it display all the time or not. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Hi Brian. Thanks for commenting and great questions. I wasn't in on AF at the start..I didn't know about the KS (1st or 2nd) but once I bought my Series 1 Condor from Ebay, I was into the line. I'd like to say I've slowed down, but I'd be lying. I've army built nearly every figure and I think I'm only missing the blood variant of Bone Collector 2.0 and Black leather Pandora. To your question about multiple turrents. I ordered one of each with two separate orders. I believe Vala means one per person of either color per orders. I have five Vanguards, but I hope to pick up one at Zolocon this March. I would agree with your assessment of the upgrades. the ball peg adds that tiny bit of height to the overall system, so when you articulate it, the belts do pop out of the ammo boxes easily. It is a minor, but noticeable nitpick. Hopefully this is something that could be considered in any future kits or vehicles from the company. Thanks again for watching and commenting. This is the part of the channel I enjoy the most, talking to fellow collectors. Have a fantastic weekend!

@junkioncraftsandbuilds It is such a minor nitpick, but you're right, Bobby has proved time and time again he is always looking for ways to improve the line and his own designs I found out about the line before release, but after the KS. I wasn't even into 6-inch figures, but I saw the Steel Brigade, Srg, and army builders. I was all in. Now I've got a few custom kit-bashes I made, 18 various SB, most of the main characters, and tons of weapons and gear to deck out all my army builders plus some. I think the worst part about Action Force for me was getting them before I got any Classified or Marvel Lengends. The quality, construction, and amount of accessories are far superior to the cost. Not so much to hate on them, as to point out my disappointment when I get a character from those lines I really want a figure of. I hope your weekend is great as well.
