Before I fell ill I made a bid on these bits and bats on the Bay.
I won!
I was after the three white red-tipped missiles, which eagle-eyed Bill B recognised straight away as Century 21.
Not sure what the rest of the stuff is.
I had thought the missiles were the correct ones for my three Project SWORD Scouts, which currently have longer versions inserted in them.
It turns out that these three new shorter missiles are the perfect fit for my small Scouts spring-loaded holes but were actually issued for other larger Century 21 toys like the plastic Spectrum Patrol Car!
It does seem odd that the small Project SWORD Scouts were released with longer missiles** when the shorter ones are a better fit, at least on my toys.
What's your experience?
Have you any Century 21 toys' missiles and did you get them with the original toy?

Postscript:
I think Bill B's eagle eyes have come up trumps again!
The small beige suitcase does indeed look like the one found in the Century 21 Toys SPC.
This makes sense as the missiles fit the SPC as well.

red u shaped clip is Plastic Meccano, flag is off a Matchbox playset, red box is an Action Man medikit, big tyre is off a Matchbox Combine Harvester, green stands are probably Britains Deetail, jet engine is off an airliner kit, green truck is a hong kong rack toy, yellow and white crates 'may' be from the Patrol Car.
