Wow ....what a SW Vintage Christmas I have been given

[Michael Sith]

So please bear with me with all the pics.

Several months ago Frank (Frunkstar) selflessly put himself up to organise some pictures I had done and get a thread together to auction them off, to be honest I was humbled and astounded by the response of the guys on this wonderful forum, I cannot thank you all enough as you today have taken me back to childhood at Christmas with an outstanding and wonderful gift for which I will be for ever grateful, I have a grin on my face from ear to ear.

A massive thankyou to Frank, who has had an organisational and logistic nightmare I am sure in organising all the pictures, the auction, then sourcing all of these wonderful pieces for me, and posting them to me...I am ever in your debt Frank you are an utter legend 8)


So a large parcel was delivered today, and as you can see the packaging was an outstanding job, so well protected and wrapped, a fantastic job done there Frank, outstanding.

I then commenced to unwrap and open parcel after parcel, completely in shock, but at the same time it felt like I was a child again, truly, that sounds cliched but it is the truth in this case...it was a wonderful feeling and I cannot thank Frank enough for the massive job he has done here in organising the whole thing, sourcing the items and then posting them. I cannot thank all of the members that have got involved in this enough either, genuinely I feel so humbled and so fortunate to have been showered with these gems, that I will genuinely cherish....thank you so much.

I'm not the best with pictures, so bear with me I will try and show what I have received today...here goes.....


Fantastic packaging...
