Funnily enough I was off work today, I took the kids into town just for a roam about. I decided to give them a history lesson of where the toy shops were when I was growing up. We had four independent toy shops in the Town centre, plus a huge Woolworths a huge Co op and a WH Smith's/ John...

The Rubik's cube, I just can't complete it

I love flicking through vintage magazines especially old gaming ones like Crash or Zzap64, I have loads of old Crash,Battle,Victor etc, some of the advertising is fantastic. You really don't see it anymore some of the artwork is incredible. The stuff I really like I either laminate or put it...

bosk70, stunning mate your very lucky to come across those

That is incredible, having something you drew as a kid then becoming a collector of what you drew, this has to be framed and displayed. I seriously doubt many collectors will have something like this, this demands to be cherished in a nice frame.

I was fifteen when the last seventeen hit the shops, by then I was well into my Sinclair Spectrum, football, building BMX's and girls. My Star Wars collection was sat in the loft with my Action Man stuff, I don't ever remember seeing any of the last seventeen in shops. I don't feel any affinity...

Back in the day I kept all my figures in a draw in my bedside cabinet with all the weapons. I didn't keep any card backs or boxes for my ships, I do remember trying to convert my X-wing to something similar to the X Bomber ship in Star Fleet

Picked this guy up today, took the kids into town for a bit, called in Costa etc just the usual. Called in a couple of charity shops to chance my arm and bingo. Paid a pound, yes I know not the best find but at least now he is part of my collection and will be cherished.

This came this morning, it's mint I'm very happy

Scruffy, you have made my day posting that picture they look amazing the packaging everything about them. I have two lose ones I had as a child, after seeing your picture I'm going to have to get some more.

It is still mint and sealed moc even if the card is still only the size of the bubble, you can get a small acrylic case pack the back with bubble wrap to have the front of the bubble touching the front of the case. Better still get an Empire card back to display with it, it would look great...

Picked up a nice Zuckuss today from a local antiques shop as a little present to myself as it's my birthday today, plus a nice Retro magazine with a good selection of Retro eighties toys in it.

To me the one on the right when comparing it to the others looks repro, the back is totally different plus it doesn't have a centre seam like the other seven do. All seven have a thin line running all the way down them seemingly where the two piece tooling is put together, the eighth one looks...

Mine has LFL 1984 on it

My favourite has to be the figures, MOC or loose as Robstyley says it's all about the figures. I do have a soft spot for the Mini Rigs as they were affordable when I was a kid as my parents didn't have much money. My least favourite is probably the Droid Factory, I just don't see the point in...

I know it's not Star Wars but even the Palitoy name just seems to mean so much to me, I remember owning a couple of Poketeers as a child so when I found this advert I had to track a couple down.

That is fantastic, please keep us informed with your progress on this as I find it very interesting. I love flicking through seventies and eighties comics, you just never know what your going to find or what hidden memory it's going to unlock from your childhood. I was born in 1970 so was a big...

A few more pictures I have found, these are from Victor and Battle

Apologies if this has been covered before but recently I bought a Comic I had never heard off just to have a flick through it, it was a StarLord from 03/06/78 To my absolute joy it had an advertisement for Star Wars Figures I had never seen before, so since them I have tracked down several more...

I used to do the same when I was heavily into collecting Vintage Action Man, my son was four or five then and it brought me great pleasure watching him play with the Chieftan Tank and training tower. My wife didn't twig on to the fact I used my sons fascination with them as an excuse to have...
