    Jake Rockwell was totally my fave too. I have him and a Wild Weasel, and I'm quite content.

    Yeah, I love these... I had Max when I was a kid and it was one of the best figures ever!!

    Man - you gotta love the 80s... heroes were allowed to have a moustache!

    I loved this cartoon as a kid! After transformers this was probably my next fave, beating out He-man as it was before TMNT.

    I had Ace and the additional space suit add on thingy, I remember ace losing a leg after a few years of hard playing abuse but have no idea what happened to him. I'll have a look for parts etc for you.

    I wanted Jake too, he was damn cool and his dog(was it Shadow?) was very cool too but I never knew another kid who had him. One of my cousins had Max but he never interested me.

    Yes, Centurions were great - they were even designed by Jack Kirby and Gil Kane. I particularly liked Rex Charger and John Thunder - the final two Centurions - who were in the show but the toyline was axed before their toys and weapons systems were released.

    PO-WEEERRRR EX-TREME-STREAM-STREAM-stream-stream-stream-stream-stream-stream!!

    Did anyone else used to stand in front of their TV during the show and put your body in that "X" formation and spin around pretending that all the gear was attaching to you? Man that was fun.

    That would be great... let me know if you find anything. I also had the extra spacesuit (orbital interceptor?) with Ace McCloud, was a great thing.
    It's strange that Ace McCloud seems to the hardest Centurion to obtain on ebay misb. Was just wondering if he was the most popular or the most easily broken one...

    Got a visit from the mailman today...
    Some great junker parts from Fungal Infection, sent for the cost of postage, very generous guy.
    And this beauty;

    The seller described the box as 'poor' but it is almost perfect (except for the brown 22 year old tape). This toy won't be misb for long!! And Max Ray is on his way from the same seller.

    Opened up Jake today, must say that it was a real thrill opening a 22-23 year old misb toy. Have never had that sensation before... my transformers are always newer issues... or secondhand (really try and avoid 2ndhand stuff).
    Jake Rockwell is probably the best toy I own.

    If you end up with a complete Swingshot for your Jake before I do, I will be very upset with you.
    If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you
