SPACEX AND SWORD ON FILM AT CHRISTMAS IN THE SIXTIES

Well readers, its nearly the Big Day. It might be Christmas Eve but there's still time to get a last minute prezzy for someone.

To help with ideas for gifts here's my traditional Christmas Eve post where we nip back to Oxford Street, London, Christmas 1964 courtesy of British Pathe.

Here you'll find a SWORD Apollo Saturn in a shop. This version of the Rocket was either the Japanese Tomy version or the American Sears version and was apparently sold in the UK. It appears unboxed at 1.02 minutes for a few seconds along with a working Dux Astroman robot! It'd look great under someone's tree!



And here's a lovely boxed SpaceX Superset in a shop window in Carnaby Street, London, Xmas 1969 or 1970? Quick, go and get it, its the last one!
