Recently I found these shots of my early vintage toys collection from around 1990 including my first re-acquired Project Sword toy, the SPACE GLIDER (bought at an evening toy fair in Normanton - they were great!). The snaps were taken by a professional photographer mate of mine back then, which I have scanned for the blog. Around 1990, I started to buy Model and Collectors Mart magazine, which was absolutley wonderful. The classifieds were excellent and were the 'Ebay' of their day - I miss them a lot (I used to advertise for PROJECT SWORD information!) The mint bubble-boxed Corgi Juniors Batmobile in the bottom pic was my first purchase through the magazine - from the excellent TV TOYZONE. I was so excited when it arrived in the post. Those were the days! Alas, many of the toys pictured have been swapped/sold over the years.
