SECOND WAVE BOOT SALE

With Covid rising in a Second Wave here in England I was chuffed that outdoor car boots sales can still happen.

With that in mind me and the Missus are going every Sunday at the moment in case the curtains come down with a viral bang very soon.  We wear masks and use alcoholic wipes as we're going round. Social distancing isn't easy though but we do try hard and walk down the middle where we can.

Going to these sales gives us a sense of some normality, which feels important. I imagine they'll be stopped soon.

This Sunday just gone was speckled by an unforecast and lengthy rain shower half-way through, which we thought was going to ruin it, but it passed and the covers came off the stalls and away we went again. Yay!

Sticking to my new regime of only buying old action figures, of which there are luckily always a few - and shelling out very little for them, here are this week's pickings [I never see any space toys anymore hence my switching to figures]:

McDonalds Action Man figure 2001, already 19 years old!

The Gasman from Lanard's The Corps from 1990. 30 years old!

My personal favourite from this week, Captain Kidd from Imperial's Pirates of the High Seas line, again from 30 years ago in 1990! This was dear for me at £1.50! Imperial released Apollo Moon Exploring toys in 1970.

and a final small figure, which made up my three for a pound deal, is a mystery. It says V.I. 97 on the back and the word China. It came with a soft life vest. he looks like a swimmer, maybe a life guard? Any ideas who he is?
