Those MB games look cool, like you say, real nod to the Paitoy Logo there.

Lovin the Batman pieces 8)

Original Lego, looks superb mate.

The Joker Van :lol: Aussie release

 

[BlueDog]

Always had a soft spot for The Real Ghostbusters cartoon so when these popped up on Ebay recently I couldn't resist. Slimer is on his way from teh US thanks to Iain. Should make a nice little display.

He's my small vintage LEGO collection i somehow accidently got into?!?!?...

6374 - Holiday Villa, just missing the cypress tree (damned expensive things and the black BBQ paddle)

6362 - Post office, complete and even has the part used sticker sheet

6371 - Petrol Station, missing the outer box and blue motorbike.

6392 - Airport, just missing 2 x 2x16 green thin strips. Again has the part used sticker sheet

If you have a cypress tree, blue motorbike or the 2x16 green strips please let me know?

Thanks

Just rummaged through my childhood LEGO box.. oh why don't i have a childhood star wars box?!?!?

It has warped a little one time and is a little rough at the tip, but better than having a hole in your jigsaw so to speak...
PM me your address.

Keep them coming gents. I used to collect ghostbusters but sold up a long one ago. A really good line - also bought that joker van back in the day. But right way up - great piece :lol:

And you can't beat childhood Lego!

 

[theforceuk]

I had all those Ghostbuster as well! Sold them all about 10 years ago with the cardbacks and bubbles.

Great to see them on here though.

Found this at what was essentially a Toy Train and Toy car collectors fair last night in a local village hall.

Used to have these as a kid, but had pretty much forgotten about them. Certainly enjoyed getting them out for a bit of playtime! Unbelievably clean and minty throughout too

 

[Bootyhunter]

That's pretty cool 8)

 

[tobedesu]

Wow, i've got some of those Stargards tucked away.
IIRC there were also some green alien-type ones.

Yes, the reverse of the box shows the full range of Aliens parts/figures. I had a few of both types as a kid and wil now be on the look-out to get the Alien set too!

Nice Stargards set and I also have a few bits from this line the I've kept since given them as a child. I remember liking this line but it was never quite Star Wars for me and didn't get played with that heavily. Still nice to see and bring back those memories of it and I've been meaning to pass on my bits and pieces to my boys when the times right.

It's funny how these never really went up in value over the years, maybe it's because there was no cartoon or other things outside the toy line released to keep interest in them.

Probably just haven't had their day yet. Some odd little vintage lines pop up every now and then - Adventure People, Zoids, Action Jack, etc. You never know

This is true enough and the way the vintage toy market has grown year on year it could well happen.....now have to decide if the boys are allowed to play with them :lol:

with the likelihood of new collectors entering the market on the back of the new films a lot may discover they actually can't afford vintage Star Wars and collect other old crap instead.


...come on Episode 1 toys! :lol:

 

[spoons]

Love Britains Space. I've got a few pieces too that I should post pics of

 

[sith-smith]

It is cracking stuff and very retro looking!

A lot of it is still quite easy to find. Not added to my Britains stuff in years though recently bought some shipping boxes for it.

Shop displays are quite easy to find too...

 

[Palifan]

Love that shipping box 8)

Another £2.50 pick-up for the (was supposed to be MB Games) 70s/80s board game collection... couldn't resist a Palitoy logo though!

 

[Mr-shifter]

Hey Steve,

Please correct the spelling of palitoy in your post before Todd sees it. It will set him off again if he sees it spelt like that.

Cheers Ben,

:lol: Bleeding auto correct.. It drives me nuts.... it even corrects how I spell my surname FFS... which is particularly annoying when its part of my email address!!! :shock:

That little logo sure brightens up any box!

Nice find and I can see why you couldn't resist.....you could even cut it out and blu tack it to one of your Kenner cards :lol:

I bought the board game 'Risk' last year just for the Palitou logo. Never played it as a bairn but it looks very comflicated.

We're happily playing all the board games I've bought so far, seems like a weekend treat each week, the kids are actually loving it too, which given the world they live in is dominated by iPads, Playstation and Disney XD its been a pleasant surprise and very rewarding

Fantastic pick up I nearly bought one of those counter displays full of Cowboys a few years ago wish I did now.
Never seen that green figure before is he chief of the aliens and what's that silver one at the end just looks like a body and legs?

 

[sith-smith]

As well as the Star Guards and Aliens, the green ones are Mutants and the grey ones are cyborgs. They are the same poses as the others, just with different heads with all kinds of tubes/tentacles coming off them

A beautiful day so the action men came out to play

 

[Palifan]

That's a great picture and reminded me of playing with my Action man outdoors growing up. There's something about the scale that really works out in the open.

Looks like Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond!

"Come on Hammond! Push man!" :lol:
