As luck would have it a free street table of old plastic toys appeared a week or so ago further up the road from Moonbase, the sort of thing that used to happen all the time during lockdown.
When it first appeared I was chuffed to find a nice boxed ELC construction set, Ground Control, for Junior, along with a Darth Vader cup and a Skateboarding action figure track set.
After being topped-up this weekend, it brought greater table riches in the form of a Robocop patrol plane, a rhino transformer, a Human Torch, an Ice Age 3 cup and a few other modernish Star Wars bits, all destined for Junior's room.
But the true gems were two plastic Pretender figures from Gen1 of the Transformers line. I had seen these before in my trusty loose action figures book but have never seen them in the flesh, but there they were, on the street and eager to come back to the Base!
The big moustached fella is complete with his back half too but the skeletal fella is just the front. Neither have their little inner robots but hey, its free booty and I'm thrilled they've joined my gang of Transformers.
Have you got the Pretenders?
Do your neighbours leave free stuff outside?
The red vehicle with the frame antenna and green cockpit(second form left, top shelf) looks interesting, do you know what it is?
ReplyDeleteHi Andy, yes that's Paul Vreede's customised SpaceX Surveyor made up as a Project SWORD Moon Crawler. Paul gave it to me as a lovely birthday gift last year.
