Yesterday's Boot Cars

LtoR:Corgi Firestreak, Matchbox Dodge Monaco and Corgi Juniors Batmobile.

Below: Hot Wheels from the late 1970's

My finds at the Sunday sale. Some touching up needed on the top three.

What do think?

BRITE THINGS

Wow, Lite Brite has evolved since I had it as a lad in the Sixties!

Here's the Stranger Things edition. How cool is that! I don't think there were TV-related Lite Brite sets back in the day. Imagine, a Thunderbirds Lite Brite set!

M.A.X and BRAINS

I quite like the look of these toys by Vivid Imaginations. I don't have any but the articulation looks good.

This is the Brains and M.A.X set from Thunderbirds Are Go [TV series].

These are on Amazon.

Are they in your collection?

FISHING FOR A BARGAIN: THE ADVENTURE PEOPLE ALPHA PROBE

On our recent visit to the vintage toy shop 4eveRetro Junior bought this 1979 Fisher Price Alpha Probe for a tenner. Bargain! It is just missing the escape pod and EVA pipe.

Working fine and with a Fisher Price orange astronaut, the three sound and light effects are great even after 44 years!

Junior's now 7 and can do his own repairs. Here's his home-made battery cover. Job done!

Do you like the Alpha Probe?

I couldn't find a 1979 TV ad on YT but there is a 1977 ad for the earlier Fisher Price Adventure People range. Have you got any? Did you have?

ROLL-ON NAVIGATOR

The Flight of the Navigator ship is on my mind and with Junior coming to Moonbase this week's half term break I need a quick method for him to make one up.

An empty Sure Deo-roller seemed an idea and covering it in tin foil was easy.

It was carried off in my Super King artic.
