This year I've added substantially to my T Circle [Tai Hing] toy collection, having been hooked since I first discovered their SWORD originals of the Moon Prospector and the Moon Bus back in the 1990's. One of my additions was the cool Dolphin Cruiser, albeit missing a plastic windscreen. I then saw the above black painted specimen on Ebay Germany and, needing the windscreen, snapped it up! The old black beauty then went to Ferryman's magic workshop, where he performed absolute wonders and returned the boat to it's glorious blue and white livery as you can see below. The box end was also stripped of old sellotape.
I've blogged about my T Space Shuttle this year already but here's a couple of shots of a better Shuttle box courtesy of reader and ebayer Raed Ammari of Jordan.
Raed had a surprise too. He explains: "...but the big surprise for me was the “T” chopper I found with my battery cars box. Also dead mint and new!". You can see Raed's Military Copter above and below complete with the rare Tai Hing logo, the orginal and full name for the T in a Circle brand [model number 514].
Another T helicopter is this basic blue bell below, which made it's way to Moonbase in March courtesy of Joe from Main Street Toys in Minnesota.
And last but not least in this T update is this cool T Boat Game, part of a range of three T games [Boat, Racing Car, Shuttle] and currently on offer by the superb ebay toy dealer Monti Firu of Argentina, who supplied me with the Shuttle Game earlier this year.
