MOONBASE CENTRAL

BAR NONE

Being in the UK, i'm missing the social aspects of the local, and all those great characters!

Another board game falling foul of our Spring clean is this old Kojak Detective Game offering by Arrow. I loved the lolly-munching detective's show back in the Seventies and snapped this game up when I found it at a boot sale about 20 years ago. I enjoyed owning it but Kojak needs to retire. He's had enough of Stavros!

Do you have any Kojak collectables readers?

BYE TO THE BAT!

About 25 years ago my Missus bought me an old Batman game at a jumble sale. It cost a few pence I think but was a superb 1977 collectable. I've loved owning it ever since.

But a spring clean is sweeping over Moonbase and many things simply have to go. Freecycle a plenty and some stuff to auction. So its goodbye to the bat as it leaves for belfries new. Its been emotional.

Do you have any Batman collectables readers?

TAKEN FOR A RIDE

Remember the days when kiddies fairground roundabouts had imaginative Gerry & Sylvia Anderson creations. In Southport we had the Pleasure Land fairground, which had a Supercar and a Stingray. They seemed to be there for years, I wish I'd taken a photo. I spent enough time sat in them. Here's a couple of photos, taken by an unknown photographer of a couple of UFO Interceptors. I wonder what happened to them?

WILL OSBORNE'S FABULOUS JAMES BOND COLLECTION

Hi Woodsy. It was nice to see some James Bond stuff posted on the blog so I decided to take some pictures of my few bits.

The third picture is the gold plated corgi DB5, in its gold brick box, signed by Shirley Eaton and Honor Blackman.

The fifth picture is of my son James when he met Honor Blackman and Ursula Andress. He was only about seven at the time and I don’t think he appreciated it! All the best.

Hope you like them.

Will O.

p.s. I will send a picture of my Gilbert James Bond road race set when I can find it!
