yeah Same story for me probably either too pricey at the time, or as you say too much hassle in the house!

Great collection of different figures, always love mixing up the toy lines in the this scale

Isn't it funny that 4 of us didn't have one growing up. I remember always wanting one, the tv and comic adverts were just so cool but never got one. Not sure if they were maybe too expensive, not in the local shops or maybe just my old Dad thinking that's going to cause carnage in the house

I'm thinking that I had Steve Austin the year I could maybe have had Evel. My mate had one and I remember it being around the same Christmas so it could be as simple as that (and probably the price difference).

Great figures, Steve. You've got the lot in there! BSG, Action Force, Adventure People, Trek...

This brought back so many memories, I had the bike with the sparking twin engines that you could replace the flints with lighter flints when they run out, so many skinned knuckles on the garage car park concrete floor just trying for the bit extra speed on the winder upper for the jump, I only have his helmet now, all that's left

Picked up this near complete Skystriker at the NEC today which has forced a bit of a reshuffle

Folks looking for a bit of assistance and Christmas Magic.

In 1996 Sugarpuffs gave away little plastic Spider-Man toys in their cereal.
We had the crawling Spider-Man figure and every year since our daughter was born we play find Spidey in the Christmas tree.

Our daughter is all grown up and moved out, this is her first Christmas away from home and we'd love to surprise her with her own Spidey.

Is there any chance anyone has this figure they would sell us?
I'm searching eBay and the other usual places but any help really would be appreciated

Mate I do not know what to say - absolutely blown away. This is 100% Christmas Magic from a 100% top bloke.

 

[Michael Sith]

Amazing

 

[db94]

Folks look who arrived today
Mate I cannot thank you enough for this. Wee bit of plastic but it means so much to us and our daughter will love it. All the more special now because how we came about getting it.
Thank you so much

Think it's worth pointing out this month is my 10 year anniversary of joining this forum - I've spent many, many happy hours on here, bought, sold, learned heaps and made some lovely friends as this thread highlights

You're very welcome Colin, you've helped out so many people over the years it's the least I could do.

I'm hugely into AF/Joe at the moment. I missed a lot of the 87 first Hasbro series as I had "grown out of toys" so that and the palitoy stuff is my main focus. I kept all my Joes (I collected up to 93!) so I still have most of the later runs.

I'll defo need drop a pic on here of the collection!

Nice little pre Xmas delivery today

Managed to get a few pieces for my wife's E.T. collection. Topps sticker album and box of stickers. We had great fun going through them on Boxing Day.
A speak and spell which is such a cool toy, we've been playing with it non stop

 

[bosk70]

Speak and spell "spell colour , c o l o u r that is incorrect

I totally missed the boat with Turtles due to my age when it came out but can certainly see the appeal and have been watching quite a few youtube vids about the toys recently. That's such a great play set though and that big character you have is enormous (I'm guess those are the regular 5" figures on it?)!

Really great setup but you sure need some room for this toy line.

Ha! That makes more sense that they're micro turtles, I was struggling to get my head around how big that figure must be lol!
