If you go eBay, try for the later rectangular packs (if you can get them) from the late 70s. A good tip, if there is no box, is to check the photos for broken figures: if there are a few arms etc missing then there is a good chance they have all gone crispy and should be avoided.

Trenches dug in the garden, "barbedwire" made using any copper wire I could lay my Hands on then wrapped around a pencil to create the coil, mud bombs to re-create huge explosions. If it was that time of year more realistic explosions using brocks bangers covered in a light pile of dirt....happy days. How many have I got now?...very few, most are still buried in the backyard.
