A short summer mooch round the Charidees proffered just a few chattels today.
A 10 inch aircraft carrier made in China, with completely shot battery unit. A challenge for me for sure! Can anyone date it from the old Asda battery?
The Magic Robot seen at the top , a modern repro set, came home too for Moonbase Junior.
Tower of Brahma game by Waddingtons, for a friend who collects small puzzles like this.
The skittles came home too, for the Grandkids. I was tempted by the LBZ top, a lovely toy.
Passed on all these.
And these.
Even passed up on the talking Barbie dentist.
I thought this tree house would be dear and it was. £30. I Passed.
Similarly passed up on this gaggle of robots. Moonbase Jr. Already has the bottom two. Nice though.
Anything here you like readers?
Always loved the carrier toys. Probably because my uncle was a navigator on the Enterprise. I never owned one of the toys, but did build a model.
ReplyDeleteI assume the Enterprise was the inspiration for Star Trek's starship Baron?
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a tradition to name new ships after ships of the past. It only makes sense that some of those ocean-going ships' names went on into space. There was an Enterprise space shuttle, after all. (Sadly, only used for testing, never went to space.) https://i.pinimg.com/originals/39/9d/c0/399dc003201da5ad7a04b31542d1eee0.jpg
DeleteThe three robots on the shelf look interesting. I would have gone for them.
ReplyDeleteI bought the bottom two a while back Ed at a different charity. Junior has them. Superb robots.
