Further amblings round the Wednesday sale proffered much. In the end I came home with these. See anything you like?
A small medic pack. Action Man?
Airgam Boys Space 3 scooter. I left the jet behind for some reason. Doh!
GoBots Binoculars by Arco
Bought solely for strangeness. Turns out they're called Teutans Heroes from 2014. Those are Mer-Man's legs I'm sure - from the MOTU range! ha ha. They spit balls I think.
Unknown Action Man clone; the kind of figure my Mum would have got me from Zodiac toys back in the Sixties.
Unknown Action Man type air tanks. Soft plastic.
The following four larger plastic vehicles were altogether, one pound the lot! Now that's car boot magic!
International Products London Jeep/ Land Rover
Merit Loco
Unknown blow moulded racer - numbered.... 21!

I picked another battered Amphibious Investigator Car up for a Winter day's messing. The young chap who sold it me had a stall full of vintage toys. We had a chat and it was like talking to my younger self 30 years ago! He told me about the toy fairs he stands at and how excited he is about standing at the NEC in Birmingham soon, one of the biggest in the UK. Interestingly he doesn't bother with Ebay, preferring Vinted and FB Marketplace to sell. He gets his stock from auction houses.
Oh to be young and fit again!
Has anyone any experience of Vinted? I thought it was for selling second hand clothes.
Call the Coastguard!
