I'm re-posting this from 2009. I can't believe its 11 years ago and just a year after starting this blog.
This was my Project SWORD toy collection back then in an IKEA cabinet..
Looking back I'm amazed I had multiples of certain toys.
Sadly no more. These seconds and thirds were sold on my toy stall back then, which I was drawing to a close.
Looking at this I see a game called Tic Tac Toad to the left. Incredibly I've sold it today on Ebay! I'd forgotten it was even listed. Ebay re-list items 8 times automatically free of charge. I listed it weeks and weeks ago!
The top is the Prospector section. 3 x T in a Circle, 2 x Chibi and 1 x Tarheel. there are 3 x NASA Probe Force 3's too.
Lower down are unboxed toys including a tinplate Chinese Moonship. The boxed toys include the Tarheel Novas and the Echo Car. More on Echo Cars to come soon via Rob C.
Boxed Century 21 Toys Project SWORD lower down.
The final section is a mish mash of Century 21, JR21, SpaceX and Imai.
The cabinet is still there but its contents have changed in the last 10 years.
Have yours changed readers?
Some superb vintage boxed items locked away there, Woodsy! My own cabinet/collection seems in a state of minor transition. I often pick up items with a deliberate view to re-selling or trading. I enjoy that fun aspect of collecting. Having said that, I also have some treasured old toys which will stay with me for the duration :)
ReplyDeleteI read a quote today Tone, oddly enough in a forum discussing Jim Stevenson, from years ago, that we are simply borrowing old toys until someone else borrows them. It reminded me of time travel.
DeleteYep, we're only ever temporary custodians during our time here, Woodsy. I do thoroughly enjoy looking after these things for the new custodians in the future :)
