A little help please (re: trading cards)

[Mainfade]

I have a two collections of G.I. Joe trading cards (aka action cards) copyrighted by Hasbro that came out in New Zealand in '86 and '88 respectively. There are two series and they show character and equipment file cards and profiles. They also show screen shots of the Joe movies that came out in the late eighties.

Can anyone tell me more about them, if they are of any value and when I can get more to complete my collection.

Cheers

PM sent but here is a link to series one:

I have some scans from series two that I need to add to the archives but I haven't gotten a chance to do it yet. I'll try to add them soon.

Good luck completing series two because they are VERY rare. I've only seen them on ebay twice in the last year and a half.

Does anyone have any extra series one of these cards? I'm looking for a few.

Thanx for your reply Dmooretoys. The cards that came out in New Zealand are all but the same. The only difference I can see is the packaging. When they came out they were in foil with a stick of bubble gum enclosed. We had two series both with around 100 cards in each but not with stickers. I have a stack of extras for both series one and two if anyone is looking to trade.
