We had a ball in the local Charities this half-term Tuesday. We got in some new toys for the Grandkids' visit tomorrow and I picked up some odds n' sods too.
The best find was a Speed Kings Tractor and Trailer in near mint condition for the princely sum of one pound!
Joining it were two 12" Dr. Who monster dolls, a Galaxy Warrior called Dragoon, a Pokemon, some matchbox cars, which I've already cleaned up, an Action Man flying thingy [not sure what it is yet], a Transformer and coupla other inexpensive bits.
What do you think? Anything you would have bought readers?
There were quite a few interesting things I didn't get. After consulting Commander Bill, I passed up on these two Starcom toys from 1988. A bit steep for me at £22.
This Puckoon paperback brought back memories of long-gone Christmases, when my older Brothers got books like this.
Further vintage memories when I saw this goldy coppery metal picture! Like something from Stargate, would you hang it on your wall now?
These old knife sharpeners wopuld have been snapped up by my 13 yeard-old self, as they're dead ringers for Kung Fu Darn Gim or swords. I had a few back in the day, purely my own entertainment!
the latest Milkshake mag cover caught my eye en route. That's a nice space capsule!
A Womble was waiting for a home.
and crafts were in evidence in these old sets for Leather and Wood and Inca boot making! Now that's something I've never done.
