But today I snapped up a Raiders of the Lost Ark map room playset - mint in box with sealed baggies inside, including the sealed Indy figure. Well happy To be honest this is probably the first toy I've ever bought with a definite speculation on future value. I love the early Indy stuff but at the moment it's rocketing. In time I will sell this.

Just dug up my childhood turtles and added some missing weapons and key characters again. (Don't mind the Joe stuff in the background).

 

[JuniorChubb]

Cool turtles SG 8)

Don't mind the Joe stuff in the background

Don't mind them? :shock:

Storm Shadow should be promoted up by one shelf and be fighting side by side with Shredder

 

[Hothrebel]

Here is some of the other toys I have collected over the years... I don't know why, but there always bad guys.

Ironic !!

Which ones are they mate?

I'm debating buying a set of Neca ones

 

[JuniorChubb]

Whoops wrong thread, wrong place, wrong answer

I thought I was reading a response to a TMNT question in the SW Rebels thread, what a twonk :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[kingshearer]

Good idea.

Except that now means I have to find and photo all my britains space stuff. :evil:

This was a while ago but have to say I have the same fascination with Britain's space stuff although I don't have many pieces.
I also have much Britians WW2, Western and Knights 99% loose mind.
If you posted pics I must search through the thread and find them!

It's been way too long since I've shared anything with you guys so I thought I'd post a few pictures of my mainly non Star Wars related items I've picked up over the last year or so. There are a fair few modern 'retro style' items here but I thought you might like a look as I enjoy checking out the great pick-ups posted on this thread.

[plantman]

i love seeing other mixed vintage stuff, i hve the edd-209, i never had i as a child but i wanted one

 

[poncho]

What are those retro kenner alien figures like? Ive been interested in those.

I really like the alien figures and have a set on blue cards that I've kept unopened but really wanted to display them loose so bought the cheaper black card back set as well. I'm really glad I did bust them out (even though I was careful opening them so as to keep the card backs in good shape for a potential reseal in years to come :lol: ), as the look even better to me loose in hand and have been really well put together. As these are supposed to have come from the original moulds (some debate on that I seem to remember?), they really do feel and look vintage and I do rate Super 7 highly for their quality control and customer service. There's also a second wave coming out with some nice additions.

On Plantman's note I also didn't have an ED-260 growing up but loved this figure and packaging. They're still fairly cheap to pick up, even sealed, although I've no idea why they changed the name from 209 to 260.

Thanks for looking guys

[Michael Sith]

Really nice mate 8)

Is that a Mego Superman?

Like the Snake P MOC as well, and the blaster, and the Six Million Dollar Man and....and...

Love the mix looks brilliant

 

[Palifan]

Cheers Michael. Yes it is a vintage Mego superman that i picked up in the states for $24. He didn't have an emblem so I did have to go the repro route to complete it but these seem to be always missing unless you buy a sealed/boxed one or drop a lot of cash for a loose one. I have several Mego's but don't collect them in a big way epect for the fist fighter ones of which I now how all the UK editions and the US Joker one pictured here.

It's nice to mix things up now and then and I have a few boxed items that didn't make the cabinet this time around, maybe some future pictures to come when I get the chance.

Ian

 

[Michael Sith]

Great stuff, would love to see more.

I need to get together with my lad and take some pics, of the stuff we've got together other than SW


Figures, Mocs vehicles and creatures boxed for the below.
They are all stored until he moves into his new Gaff in Dec
THUNDERCATs
MOTU
Turtles
Ghostbusters
Freddy

Really like the Mego gear don't have any as yet, that was a cracking buy for the Superman

That Indy Well of Souls playset looks superb as well ( I think Barry X Pack has picked one up recently)

Get that box set out, you know it makes sense!

look forward to seeing some pics from you Mike as well, always love looking at the non Star Wars items as a little breather.

[Michael Sith]

Some pics of joint stuff me and my lad have amassed , it's all in storage and there's quite a bit I don't have pics of

The plan is when he moves into his new house ( when it's built) we split the collection at his and mine and rotate it periodically ( our good lady wives have not been informed of that yet :? )

Anyway apologies for pic heavy post

That's a great selection there Michael, it'll be like Christmas day when you finally get those boxes unpacked!

Good idea to rotate the collection with your son as well (even if the wives aren't so sure, I tend to find buying them shoes goes a long way).

[spoons]

love seeing these other toy lines, but most are a bit after my childhood - although I did have a he-man and used to collect ghostbusters.

I've been entering a monthly photo comp on an Action Man forum (more my childhood) and thought I'd share my entries here. Its a tough comp :shock:

 

[JuniorChubb]

Great Action Man shots Spoons 8)

I always wanted the Parachute Action Man.

The Dinghy shot is the best IMO.

We are lucky to have some great hobbies to keep us amused, would have loved to have been involved the the AM photoshoot.
