Other Vintage Collections

[Michael Sith]

Finally went to the storage attic where my son and I have some of the joint collection stuff. These are figures etc he wanted to collect again from his childhood

Thundercats

Mumra and slithe are resealed

The others are card and figures no bubbles, we are trying to find bubbles/ blisters for these for display, doesn't matter that they are not original as they will never be sold on, just for keeps and display.

Very cool stuff, I had a lot of this stuff including the SNES with streetfighter, battlecat and Ghostbusters stuff. Sold it all off in the early 00's to fund Star Wars collecting. Nice to see it all on here.

 

[Palifan]

Nice collection there and great to see some Subbuteo, I used to love playing it and had the floodlights you've pictured so it's nice to see them again after all these year.

This really is one of my favourite threads that I took the time to go back and check out every page. Really love looking at all types of old toys, there's some great collections on these pages

this is a great thread, very nice collection you and your son have mate, love the motu stuff, that boxed set looks great!

 

[user 5830]

Loving the Thundertank!! 8) 8)

 

[x-pack]

Wow! What an amazing collection Mike! I love those MOTU re-release things (if that's what they are). MOTU = rare as Hen's teeth these days.

Super NES as well

Great stuff!

 

[Michael Sith]

He got the MOTU pack from Tokyo Toys in NY they are quite cool, look good on display.

You can still pick up MOTU but daft prices in the main.

Just trying to sort some way of displaying the Thundercat figures, as they don't have blisters.

 

[plantman]

love this thread, some cracking items there love the thundercats

 

[Stargeezer]

With the help and patience from my US friend Iain, i now got these four arentina GI Joe ninja's home.
Many many Thanks to Iain for all help he provided me and getting my parcel here safe and sound.

They are not the best condition Moc's, but they display great in acrylic.

 

[Grant]

Great to see non SW collections here. Great work everyone.

 

[phreatobite]

The beginning of a little GI Joe colletion, lots still to organise.

 

[plantman]

still one of may fave threads this one, love it

 

[spoons]

couple of pieces form Vectis - the Pursuit Craft has its trade sleeve with it which is a nice touch

Now got a spare Pursuit Craft if anyone is interested

 

[Palifan]

The pursuit craft was the only Action Man vehicle I had growing up but used to love that thing (until Star Wars came along :lol: ).

That box really does take me back and it's one thing that I have thought about picking up over the years…..well that and the Action man with the radio backpack that used to play tiny records with dialogue on them (another AM item I had).

Really love the packaging artwork on this line and that one you have Andy looks to be in fantastic shape. Has bought a smile to my face for today

Ian

 

[spoons]

Cheers Ian. I had the Capture Copter, Pursuit Craft and Infantry Support Jeep as a kid - missed out on a couple of Vectis jeeps but I will get one again

Very nice! Really brings back memories - had both of those as a kid, along with the Scorpion Tank and motorbike/sidecar. Those both look superb 8)

 

[Grant]

Love the action man stuff Spoons.

 

[spoons]

cheers guys - these boxed items are huge. Running out of space! Cazza I've got the Scorpion tank too - a great piece

capture copter is big too

Were these from Beeches?

 

[spoons]

They were indeed

 

[Michael Sith]

Great AM stuff there ( great pics as well)

Latest pick up for my lad ( be one of his Crimbo pressies) as one of the toys of his childhood

Plastic bubble is coming away, missing the stand for the mortar and missing 2 M16 rifles, but great other than that, I'm sure I'll ne able to pick them up before Crimbo

Got it for a good price I think £25

I had that A-Team pack as a kid, such a cool toy and great to see it packaged like that again. I'm sure your your son will love it at Christmas, brings back some memories.

 

[Palifan]

Great A-Team set and one that I keep thinking I really must pick up at some point. I had a BA from the larger figures set that I still own although I can't seem to find the tool kit anywhere. I don't actually remember this smaller range growing up at all, just the larger ones, but that smaller scale always seems to be the right scale to me for some reason :wink:

Ian

 

[spoons]

Love the A-team and £25 sounds very reasonable - I sold a loose A team van for about £25 a few years back. You going for a van too?

 

[Michael Sith]

I know he really wants the van but the Galoob one for these 3 and 3/4 inch figs rather than the larger one for the 6 inch figs.

Found a shop near to me that I didn't know existed till yesterday, sells all sorts of collectables, has loads of modern SW but not much vintage, so I'm sure I will be a frequent browser there :lol:

 

[Grant]

Awesome A team set Mike. I remember those from back in the 80's.

 

[SublevelStudios]

So cool to see other collectors vintage toys.

I've really cut back on my other collections, He Man, Thundercats, Action Man and Action Force have all been sold off to focus on Star Wars vintage. There are some things I'll keep though:

Among my favourites are the Black Hole figures, would love to pick up a B.O.B. or S.T.A.R.R. at some point (no chance of ever getting a humanoid!).

Also trying to complete my Mego Trek Motion Picture run but those Aliens are proving hard, and expensive, to find.

My favourite by far though is my Mego Buck Rogers Starfighter. I always loved this ship design, and was surprised to see that it was one of Ralph McQuarries early designs for the Battlestar Galactica's VIPER fighter. They're hard to find complete, unyellowed and unbroken but this one came all the way from Canada from a childhood collection along with a couple of the figures in the photo too.
