2018 has been a very silent year for me with picking up childhood lots :( The competition has become harder since more vintage toy dealers has begun to hunt childhood lots in denmark just to sell them again and earn money :( but for the first time in a long time I was faster :D Seller told me if I would not pick it up today then he had another buyer, I am sure the other buyer was one of this toy dealers. They are bidding the prices up to crazy prices and then they try to sell them to even more crazy prices :evil:

But here is the nice little lot I got, I was surprised to see most of the weapons was lost. Funny that a little blaster like a bespin blaster survived but many much bigger weapons was lost :shock:

As we were blessed with such nice weather in the UK today, I decided to head into the loft and dust off some old storage boxes. Very surprised and delighted with what I found.

These all look to be in great shape so you must have looked after these growing up.

Amazing loft find, congratulations :wink:
 
In a box file labelled 'School Papers'. I thought they'd been part of a parental clean-up decades ago.
I was never one for just taking 1 from a display.

Yes I do, I remember the excitement of a new channel that was coming and the possibility of winning a Ford Sierra! :lol:
Joking apart, a classis TV times!
 
...another couple of bits
Helix Pencil top erasers with shop display box, Helix erasers, Helix ruler and a 1982 calendar by Thomas Forman & Sons. Still a bit more to go (it's a large attic) so hopefully something else will turn up

HOLY...

Wow, this is RARE. Never seen one before. That's 2 new Palitoy promotional items that have surfaced I never knew existed.

Amazing stuff - keep digging!
 
So upon request i unrolled the Command Centre poster to get a better photo of it (my previous photo was a photo of a photo) and a couple of other pieces were rolled inside it. I seem to recall getting these from a toy shop in Watford.
