Back from a lacklustre and totally arctic Car Boot Sale, I'm relaxing watching the news with a large mug of hot coffee.Typical mixed April weather, warm one day and absolutely freezing like today. However, summer is on the way. Yesterday I heard my first Cuckoo of the year and saw my first Swallow, but as my Lady Wife says, one Swallow doesn't make a summer! Just browsing through Ebay, other than the always-interesting SWORD/SPACEX offerings, a few leftfield odds 'n' sods have caught my eye this week like this amazing multi-wheeled FIRECAT. It reminds me a lot of the articulated SWORD Snow Train, which features prominently in the 1969 SWORD Annual.
Similarly this white VW Bus resembles the more obscure SWORD ANT, which also appears in the SWORD Annual. And every space base needs personnel and there have been some interesting toy astronauts for sale including these bagged SPACEX-like LUNAR SPACEMEN with a nice header cards.
And finally, googling for LP there appear to be a few blue and white LP spacemen for sale at Plastic Toy Soldiers, an online store.
Keep on Swordin'.

I was watching the left hand bag but forgot to bid! They're the unmarked 50mm's. Went for three pounds something which seems reasonable, although people are still listing them as ID (search tip!), despite the fact that they've been published as LP on the net and in print for some years now.
Right hand photo is Hing Fat on the left, MPC copies (quite good ones by the look of them) on the right.
'Rerooso'...A tall tree like a giant redwood which is entirely edible and tastes of chocolate ruffles.
you must have car boot sales run by Carlsberg round your way, i always come away empty handed here!
Carlsberg? ^_^ I know just what you mean. Car boots sales are never like that here either.
CARLSBERG - possibly the best car boots in the world.
probably..
