A trip this week to a nearby Barnsley emporium was fun.
Amidst the thousands of send hand treasures on two huge floors I spotted a few for the blog.
This array of die-casts caught my eye.
The Zygons were very appealing at £10 each but I resisted, what with Santa on my case and all.
So too the Lunar war Chariot, just £6. Note the Joe 90 Car exhausts! And is that a SHADO2 missile?
Some old plastic as well, Manta Force and Batman, nicely boxed and encased in plastic boxes. I imagine these are high grade items for such care and attention.
Lethal Enforcer isn't a game I know. the protected Spawn action figure was £75, again, a high grade item.
The Toy Biz Joker Cycle took me right back to 1990 when I first started getting excited about toys again. It was the merchandise tsunami following Tim Burton's Batman in 1989 that did it. I recall standing in front of an aisle of discounted Toy Biz Batman toys at Pontefract's Poundstretcher, including a big stack of these Joker Cycles, and I was hooked.
I came away with these two cute Sixties Skiiers, who were going for a song in the bargain bin outside.
Anything you like here?
So nice to see affordably priced and in decent shape Dinky's! I would have snapped up the Zygons, the Trident Starfighter and the Lunar War Chariot as mine lacks the missile and the rear set of wheels. The Mobile would have gone home with me as well as mine lacks the tracks and a missile and is cheaply priced.
ReplyDeleteYep, its a decent shelf of die-casts Lance and one of many there, altho' not all are as Andersonised as this lot. Bill tells me that the red Zygon is a Marks and Spencer special. I never knew that M&S issued special toys, altho' I did get a lot of their books as a kid, branded as St. Michael. Do you have Marks and Spencer in the US?
DeleteWOW - never heard of the Zygons! Found this cool site with a lot of info about them: https://dinkytvspace.com/363-zygon-patroller/
ReplyDeleteYes, great space planes M and thats a great site, I know it well.
Delete40 Quid for a Shado Mobile? That's a bit too tasty for me, but still better than the stupid Australian prices I have to put up with!
ReplyDeleteA good look round the emprorium would probably throw up a cheaper one I bet Looey.
