ROCKETS GALORE!

It's not only Woodsy who visits charity shops. I spotted this rather nice rocket set for sale in our local grot shop.

    1. That's the one ,Arto. I had one like it, and the smaller version as a youngster. I did hang on to the parts from the smaller version for a while, but now all gone.

  2. Now that is a bobby dazzler Scoop and an amazing vintage toy to find in a Charity shop. I once found an incomplete set at an evening toy fair years ago and then incredibly found the missing parts in a junk shop just before lockdown last year! I have to ask, did you buy the set you saw?

    1. I might have a few years ago, Woodsy, and I admit I was momentarily tempted, but as it didn't have a price tag I decided against it.

  3. That's some 'grot shop' Scoop, with a find like that in it.
    I've not seen anything as good as that, even in quite fancy antique places !
    I'd definitely have asked the price at least. You never know.

    1. You might well be right, Mish maybe I should of.
      It's quite a big grot shop covering several floors with mostly furniture and antiques. There's always plenty of modern action figures, annuals and toys, but some of the pricing can be a bit on the high side. Various sections are rented space so you never deal with the actual owners of the stuff, so there's no room for bargaining.
