The local boot sale was a fine affair this morning on my day off, with plenty of stalls and plenty of May sunshine.
Before I photograph what I did get, here are a few things I passed on, owing to either price or condition [these are photos from the internet and not the actual examples I was seeing].
Boxers
Asking price £15
I liked this a lot and have seen a version with Mohamed Ali. Alas, the set I inspected had two of the levers missing, one with the corner housing torn away, which would be hell to replace. I don't know the name of this toy or its maker/ year. Do you?
Manta Force Command Ship and Accessories
Asking Price £20
This loose set seemed to be all there and I have bought and sold several over the years including complete boxed versions. This was just too dear for me today but nice to see.
Panthro
Asking Price £20
This loose figure was the most over-priced today. I have always had a soft spot for Thundercats and have bought and sold tons of the 80's figures over the years.
The boot sale Panthro had a weapon but not the correct one, which should be a set of nunchakus.
Would you have passed or purchased readers?
I wouldn't touch Manta force with a bargepole. Its a good toy, but ebay is littered with it. Same with Mighty Max toys from Bluebird. If you see any cheap Zero Hour toys, the are saleable, but not Manta. Boxers look like a posh version of Raving Bonkers. Again, unless they are dirt cheap, I wouldn't bother. Panthro for £20? They are having a giraffe. If it was mip, maybe, but it really isnt that rare. Bill
ReplyDeleteand if thats the Manta Force ship you saw - the top is missing!
ReplyDeletestill not worth buying - too many of them. If you see a branded lunchbox of flask, they are apparently desirable.
DeleteAlways good to see your carboot finds, Woodsy. I love the boxing duo. They're late '60s early '70s - KO game by Parker. For me, a real knockout at that price.
