You kept that quite...
I too have a love for BlackHole items, particularly Vincent.
I'm loving the Laser Scope and the cardboard cutout models, fantastic items.
IF you ever think of selling please please give me a shout.

Robo Force / Maxx Steele discoveries.
During Lockdown like many, I sorted and cleared out the stuff that I had accumulated over the last 30 years; during this I found quite a few "lost" treasures.
Amongst them were these chaps, I used to find them for a few pounds each at toy fairs in the early 90s while looking for my main intrests which were of course Star Wars and TV related die cast.
All of them have missing accessories but I'm not really bothered by this, it shows that they were played with, totally unlike my Star Wars collection which is the opposite.
They have a button on the rear that when pushed up inside the body of the robot makes the arms move inwards in a grabbing motion, quite a novelty.
These were pre internet days of course so I had no idea what the line was about, but like the colours and simplicity of the figures.
Nowadays of course you can find out about stuff with the click of a mouse so here is a link if anyone is remotely interested.

And you can still pick them up for around a fiver...so I'm mot going to able to retire on these anytime soon. :lol:

Great collection Lars, love the Mocs and the boxed item, very nice 8)

Thanks michael for the kind words, I hope I one day get a full run, but I remember 10 years ago Star and humanoid was ****ing expensiv, I do not know how much they cost today :?

 

[Pomse2001]

great collection, love the moc and the comics, never seen those before, very cool

Thanks mate for the kind words, I am very happy that I can share something that you have never seen before

 

[Pomse2001]

That's a great collection Lars and I love the danish goodness you have there. The cut out Vincent is brilliant and that boxed ship looks fantastic as well. I have all of the figures loose and the odd one carded as well as the vintage pop-up book and Goldkey Comic version of the film but it's a nice set to focus on as there's not loads of things to get so it makes it a achievable target to put together.

Thanks for posting these up, always great to see these other vintage collections

Hi Ian, Thanks mate for the very kind words, I am happy that you like it As you can see I still miss some figures moc. What are the odd one carded ? :? any idea what star and humanoid cost today moc ? I think remember there was custom made and resealed moc years ago and also repro coats for humanoid years ago has that also gone worse today just like repro vintage star wars ? :?

Hi Ian, Thanks mate for the very kind words, I am happy that you like it As you can see I still miss some figures moc. What are the odd one carded ? :? any idea what star and humanoid cost today moc ? I think remember there was custom made and resealed moc years ago and also repro coats for humanoid years ago has that also gone worse today just like repro vintage star wars ? :?

The two mocs I have are an original Sentry Robot and a custom Star although I could only find the Star right now. The Star has been carded on the Italian GIG card back that it was released on (a custom made one), and the last original one went for $1300 here - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-BLACK-HOLE-1979-MEGO-GIGI-AFA-70-75-85-RARE-S-T-A-R-STAR-ITALIAN-MOC-/223255809692?hash=item33fb154e9c%3Ag%3AC30AAOSwkfxb%7EMIN&nma=true&si=dMWRXVExj27oQcKvV3Fnyfy%252BO%252F8%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I can imagine the Humanoid running into the thousands as they hardly ever come up carded or even loose. There are custom ones though but it looks like there is only one real seller of these (which is where my Star was from years ago) - https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ssn=starwars--collector&hash=item54861160fa%3Ag%3A1MMAAOSw32Ve7eOz&item=363026538746&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=black+hole+&_sacat=0

His customs are still pretty pricey for some of them but I love the prototype customs he's made of the Palomino and Cygnus that were never produced. I've often thought about picking up a Huminoid or Old bob from him and may do at some point.

These Robots look great and I don't remember seeing these before. Ah... I remember those days pre-internet for looking for things like this....I'm kind of glad that they're over as I wouldn't have a tenth of what I own :lol:

Ian

Hi Ian, That custom looks fantastic, is there any guides to ID a moc so I do not buy repro ? I hope that none of mine is fake repro :?

Yes it was the same in the 00s when I bought all my black hole moc, hard to find humanoid and star was expensive. So nothing has changed, only more expensive

Is bob also hard to find, I remember when I bought my moc, bob was not that hard to find ? he was only a little more expensive than vincent

Ian I also love all your other black hole items, some of the things I have never seen before 8)

I forgot that I also have a Black Hole Game, It looks like it has never been used

That's a great looking board game lars, never seen one of those before and that would go nicely with my Alien board game.

As mentioned the Old Bob is really expensive loose and I have seen a carded one up for sell once but again it was in the thousands! The repro star I have is really well put together but as with all of these repro mocs you can easily tell as they use doubt;e sided tape to attach the bubble and in hand you can tell. I think you're fine with all you've bought and I'm sure you would know right away if something was off.

ok thanks for the info, looks like I maybe remember wrong or a lot has changed the last 10 years, I only want them all on moc, looks like it will be hard and expensive

Hi Ian, thanks for all the great info. I think I have paid about $20 for each of my moc and maybe a little more for vincent but that was in the 00. So I guess they would not make repro with this prices. I will keep an eye out for the tape the next time I buy a moc.

I do not remember where I bought the game but I think I bought it in uk or france years ago.

Been a while since I bought any breweriana due to covid 19 and everywhere being closed, so was really pleased when i bought these at a couple of local antique shops

The collections coming along nicely

Hi mate, I was just thinking do you have any pictures of your black hole items ?
