During our recent New Year trip away I had to walk by a few nice Charity Shop items that 20 years ago I wouldn't have hesitated snaffling for my old toy stall and Ebay business. I've already too much clutter and we are meant to be downsizing at some point so I have to pass on many temptations.
This was one, the Star Wars Electronic Galactic Battle game. It was nicely boxed but had a Y-Wing missing. £8. I passed for reasons explained.
Similarly this plastic box light with an R2D2 design was neat. £5.
Most expensive of all in one of the Charities was this loose plastic battery-operated 1994 OCP Interceptor from the Robocop TV series, along with the action figure. £10.
I regret not getting them all but that's the insatiable magpie in me.
Would you have taken a punt on any or all of them readers?
As an aside I recall vividly seeing the Robocop TV series plastic vehicles way back in 1994 when they were brand new in the shops. I was in Karstadt, a German department store and I held the above toy in its box, along with the Tactical Field Ambulance below. I didn't get them because we didn't have enough room in the suitcase and I thought I'd pick them up in a UK toy store. I never did!
