SpaceX Toy Scrapyard

I noticed this job lot on Fleabay last November and kept a picture for the blog.

If you like SpaceX, SWORD and similar you couldn't help noticing.

Its a smorgasborg of neat loose plastic . There's a couple of orange SpaceX Nuclear Pulses. a whole squadron of Cruiser 1's, a LEM and Capsule, a MOLAB and the main body of an ATS.

There's a Blue Box yellow Space Glider,a an interesting green Space car and a blue flying saucer too, the the centre. 

Anyone know anything about this saucer?

Mystery Model Imai Zero X

Here's some Japanese footage I found on You Tube of one of the smaller Zero X kits by Imai.

It's battery operated and appears to be controlled with a dial on the rear engines.

Does anyone know the exact model that this at all?

Is it part of this collection I had on loan a few years back?

I can't see one with the dial on the back.

It is what it is!

Voyage Into Space: Boba Fett and the Tim Mee Alien

I saw this old Super 8 film cover for Voyage into Space [a mystery film to me!] and thought, hmmm....

those guys remind of two others I know!

Yep, the alien reptile man sort of looks like Tim Mee Toys turtle alien pictured here courtesy of Ebay

and the rocket robot shouts Boba Fett to me!

Here's the Fett with his rocket pack blasting off in the now renowned Star Wars Holiday Special cartoon segment, his first appearance.

If anyone has these two or similar toys then maybe you could have a bash at recreating the Super 8 Voyage into Space box scene and email it me!

Or do you know more about the film itself?

Quick Sunday Movie Quote Quiz

OK MC'ers, here's a quick quiz to do before Sunday lethargy finally grabs you for the day and you don't do anything else!

They are all short lines from movies. I have done them from memory so forgive me if they're not perfect. Hopefully you'll recognise them!

Have a go at maybe ONE or a maximum of TWO questions per reader. There's only ten so it should be done by tea time!

Just name the movie in the comments with the question number. Go man go!

1. I'm the Leader! [clue: Disney]
2. He's an excellent Driver
3. Unite us, unite the clans.
4. Now where does he get all those wonderful toys.
5. They're flocking, they're flocking towards us
6. You passed it, you passed the parchment.
7. Skipping! Running! Jumping!
8. I've seen things
9. It was beauty killed the beast
10. Its what we call a shake and bake colony.

Thunderbird 4 in its Model Submarine Pen

Having built a little set for dioramas, I thought I'd use it as a typical Anderson-esque submarine pen.

Take care,

captain scarlet shaken not stirred

A few random pop culture images from a few years ago found in my archive which haven't appeared before I don't think. All taken on my old non-smartphone!

A bit like postcards really.

Here's a few die-casts I snapped in an antique shop in Scisset that's sadly not there anymore.

The Captain Scarlet SPC was a bargain at 15 pounds. I should have snaffled it!

This pair I took when visiting a pop culture exhibition in a small town in Germany, the name of which I've forgotten. Die Spinne is The Spider in german 

I took this one because my Missus reckoned the top half of the bloke on this Stern [Star] mag cover reminded her of me!

Finally, a shot of a 007 cocktail promotion at a Swiss cafe. 

The Cupli, shaken, not stirred!

More cocktails later.

Your popular culture snaps welcomed!

Chip Pan Chips Anyone?

We did something this week I've not done for 40 or 50 years.

We made real chips in a chip pan!

The last time I enjoyed real home-made chips I was in my early teens.

I loved them back then and I loved them just as much this time round. Crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They just can't be beaten for taste!

This was all made possible by my Missus Moonbase who very kindly got me a chip pan for my birthday last month.

Did you like home made chips? Do you still scoff chips?
