Here in Vegas, it was impossible to find any but the most common examples so eBay was a Godsend. It has since helped innumerably with other finds as the '2005 & Beyond' set testifies.

The original figures date from the mid-60s, and these two were added around the first moon landing which LP capitalised on (there was a set from a series doing so on the blog a year ago or so?).<br /><br />One of them indeed has a camera, the other (barely visible in those pics) has a shovel/scoop in his hands.<br /><br />Best -- PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-56031885085022303442015-08-24T09:08:15.175+01:002015-08-24T09:08:15.175+01:00Can't quite believe its 15 years since Ebay ki...Can't quite believe its 15 years since Ebay kicked off in the UK. It must be twenty is the States. I remember telling guys in the pub in 2000 that I'd bid on Ebay. They'd never heard of it!

Just not plated as they usually are. The two Apollo astronaut figures don't carry a trademark (just Hong Kong) but they always come with LP toys, and were sold by LP under their own trademark as well.<br /><br />Best -- PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
