DINKY PROJECT SWORD?

I had a thought today. What would a die-cast set of Project SWORD vehicles have been like from say Dinky or Corgi? Maybe even Imai, Grip or Popy?

I personally think they would have looked great! Imagine a metal Probe Force 1 or a die-cast Moon Ranger. 

We can get an idea of what it might have been like from Imai's small die-cast Scramble Bug.

What do you think? Would you have wanted them?

SPACE BOAT

I love this little white space boat I saw on auction over a decade ago. I saved the pics back then and I haven't seen another one since.

Anyone got one?

SPACEX LOT WINTER 2021

I saw this neat bundle on Ebay last year and saved the pics.

I like the white chinook with double P3 rotors! I think its a Golden Wings toy. These are covered in detail on Paul V's cool SpaceX site http://www.triangspacextoys.info/SpGAderv/OTHR/OTHR/GWngCptr.html

Interesting that the Chinook is with all this SpaceX. I wonder of they were always together since the Seventies or is this a bundle put together just for Ebay?

I like that little silver space car top right. What's that anyone?

Is this a bundle you won?

THE TWO COLOURS OF TASK FORCE TWO

 

I saw these two old Century 21 Toys Project SWORD Task Force 2's on Worthpoint and thought I'd blog the image.

Its a good example of both the body colour variation and the base colour variation too. 

The base can be red or white.

The body can be two shades of red, one darker than the other.

Which one have you got readers?

A BOX OF FAB DELIGHTS

I enjoyed this pile of old toys being re-discovered by Calvertfilms. Have a look. FAB1, Lunar Bug, Superfast and more!

SLIM PICKINS DOWN DONNY CAR BOOT

The merest of meagre nets from this Sunday's car boot at Doncaster.

A plastic garage for Junior and a few die-casts for moi including a Super Kings Fire Helicopter.

EMPIRE G.E.O.S

 

I do like this space buggy from 1999 released by Empire Industries.

The arms recall the working end of the SpaceX MEV2.

Do you like it?

As my TIMESLIP post appears to have proved popular here's a look a some of the cuttings I saved from Look -In that I decided not to use in my original article.
