GALAGA

 I picked this up in Norwich last December. 

A Galaga mini arcade game.

I loved the Rick Griffinesque lettering and graphics. 

All new to me.

With new batteries, it worked fine.

It said Bandai Namco 1981 on the side.

But then I spotted the tiny phone cable charging point at the bottom, which I couldn't get to a activate. Good job the batteries worked as a back up.

It's a very well made re-issue. Just unsure from when.

Not my cup of tea at all, I just can't concentrate on games, the arcades and space invader games passed me by as a Seventies youngster. Maybe I was the wrong generation?  Have I missed out?

Super Sideral Robo Gear

 This an amazing Spanish

 robot space costume for kids. 

The helmet is terrific!

It looks familiar.

The dart visor is a separate toy too ...

... The Videolaser.

Not sure this arm is connected but I threw it in anyway, as it's very roboty! 

Anyone seen this set before?

Super Kings of the Road

More of my die casts in the departure lounge. All bigger Matchbox Speed Kings, a Corgi Unimog and large Lone Star King of the Road at the rear.

My favourite in this group is the blue transporter. It's so Thunderbirds! 

T Time

My Fire Chief and Hot T.

I love these Rods.

Do you have anything like this? 

The Beatles or Santa?

Painted Love: Terranova's Cars

Hello Woodsy,

Further to Rob's cars of the world, Northern Heights has a few painted samples.

White, blue and green examples crossing a bridge. Maker names can be seen on the boots.

Bandalero and Shovel Nose

To fund my vintage VHS needs I've been selling off my old die-casts.

It's been really great fun to collect old toy cars over the last decade, especially the hugely relaxing pastime of cleaning and re-touching them, but I feel I can let most of them go now, except my Hot Wheels and a few specials I'm keeping hold of.

Here's the first of a series of snaps I took of them this week, posting here by way of a farewell to these things, die-cast beauties all.

Did you have any of these?
