Some amazing finds here gents. I love the childhood memories. I also appreciate the die cast stuff. Spoons did you get that artwork made for you?

Here's my two 'latest acquisistions'. To be honest I bought them way back but hadn't gotten around to photographing them due to my photographing spot being clogged up with stuff since my second daughter was born.

First up is a Meccano-stickered ISP-6 minirig. I since learned that that there are 2 variations of this sticker. One with 'ISP-6' on it (which I have) and one without (which I now have to find - natch).

Second and last is a Turret&Probot playset, which I had been looking for for quite a while and finally was able to buy from Leopardi, here on the forum.

Can't believe that you don't have every box variation Emiel! Congrats on finding something new

Thanks both, and no not made specifically for me but the signed ones are runs of only seven so I jumped straight in there.

Pleased to pick up this 1977 cinema movie brochure.
I beleive they where available at the cinema to buy whilst going to see the films.
I don't normally gloat about prices but this was being sold by the original owner with a poorly described listing on Ebay. Picked it up for £10 :D .

Chewbacca 12 A-back palitoy, sealed with £1,10 price sticker. I havn't see a lot of price stickers on Palitoy 12 A-back for some reason.

Yeah I've suspected that early figures survived due to getting lost in the retail process rather than being bought and kept.

Very cool item.

Thanks! Yes, it had dirt inside bubble and bad pic. Seller had some bad feedback. Said there was a crack, but no image of the crack. So lots of red flags. Glad it turned out ok.

Yeah, I was prepared to bid a reasonable amount, but it was quite a risk. A risk worth taking- looks great 8)

Seconded. I too saw it but was worried it was too good to be true.

Congrats Kvavik on such a great bargain :D

Thanks for the kind words guys! Was really nervous opening the package, but seller had packed it better than most ebay sellers.
