SHAZAM! CAR BOOT BOUNTY!

 I was quite chuffed with this morning's catch down the boot sale.

We burst through the early fog into decent weather in Wetherby.

Here's what I picked up. See anything you would have got?

There was a whole jar full of about 50 small plastic American football helmets. I bought one, 50p. Not sure which team that is. The small digger is by Tomica but the toy line is unknown to me.


I was pleased to find this Shazam Corgi car from 1979. Don't think I've seen one before. I'll try to spruce it up.


These packs of model decals and papers were going for a song at 50p each. I got two. No idea what's in them yet!


This big modern Batmobile was a snip at £1. It so reminded me of the Kenner Super Powers version that it had to come home to Gotham.


The red Barbie MG? is dated 1998 and the silver spaceship is for Junior. I think its Roblox maybe.


Last but not least, my biggest purchase at £8, this old case full of various bits and pieces from 1980's toys like M.A.S.K and Manta Force, plus a couple of Ghostbusters ghosts and more bits to keep me amused for a good while. The case itself is likely to be 1980's, as its covered in Transformers puffy stickers.


See anything you like?

  1. You've just reminded me that we collected little football helmets like that one when we were kids! I don't recognize the design either, but the tricorn suggests the New England Patriots..? Or is this from a non-US league?

    Those decals, you found them at a car boot sale ? British car boot sales are wonderful, you would never find those in NZ. Only at a proper model fair. Also the Shazam car.

  3. The blue case could be by Bluebird, ca. 1983. Mine has a small MOTU sticker on the little smooth rectangle on the outside.

  4. Like the propeller car.
    Not sure it would fly, but it looks good.
