Another Vintage Star Wars Toys Spotting in Scotland

[PGowdy]

A vintage toy display (all most all Star Wars for some reason) at the Glasgow Transport museum. And no, i don't have any idea what these were doing there either. :?

That is awesome.

My local TGI Fridays has a Millenium Falcon on the wall. Only thing is they've put a screw right through the middle!!

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Awesome love the army of ERGs 8)

This is jogging the old memory bank... I remember that game above the ZX Spectrum A great display, a real feast for the eyes.

My mate sent me a picture message when he went down there earlier in the year - "here you like SW, check this out"
It was definitely a bit random! and totally wasted on him!

Nice Pete 8)

Could have got a clearer shot of the BMX though. :wink:

 

[mumbo]

SW link, Space travel. It's a great looking collection and a ZX Spectrum 48k, my first computer. Anyone for Horace goes skiing

Good call, Mumbo :lol: I had to draw a 'flowchart' in my computer class (BBC Micros all round, kids) in my last year of school (1984), to demonstrate how to make a cup of tea. Not content with going down the traditional route of stencil and arrows, I illustrated a step by step guide using Horace as the protagonist... complete with pixelated edges. Took me bloody ages :?

 

[JuniorChubb]

Can't believe I missed the speccy :shock:

I think the speccy is in the cellar Mumbo :wink:

I think we once spent all day coming up with funny Horace games...

 

[mumbo]

Martin the Horace obsessive :lol:

There's no chance of that Spectrum working, it was never the same after one of us hit it with a hammer :roll: Can't remember who though :wink:

 

[JuniorChubb]

Lol, while playing Skull... :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[mumbo]

:shock: so many memories came flooding back.

 

[TC-14]

Martin the Horace obsessive :lol:

Just a little. Not much.

 

[JuniorChubb]

I played Skull on an emulator recently.

Still absolutely **** it when the skull appears round the corner.

The game makes more sense playing it as an adult but I still have not got a clue what its about. :lol:

 

[Captainsolo1978]

That display at the Glasgow Transport Museum used to have a couple of boxed vehicles. Remember a DV Tie fighter really nice box !

 

[chiffy]

Ive got 5 different speccys in the loft but none of them work properly as mentioned already they took a pounding and the keyboards are all now u bends but i recently lifted them up and they look great on display

Memories, Pyjamarama & Everyones a Wally by Mikro Gen, Sabre Wulf, Atic Atac, Underwurlde, Alchemist, Alien 8 and anything else by Ultimate play the game, Kokotoni Wilf and Saboteur by Elite, Ghostbusters by Activision, Tir Na Nog, Horace & the Spiders, Skool Daze & Back to Skool, and of course, let's not forget the greatest game ever made, ..........BOOTY by Codemasters!!!

Cool 8) Everyone's got an At-At except me There's a similar thing in Edinburgh, a toy museum. Only thing is it's a toy museum with not a single piece of vintage SW in it. ****ing shite. They did have a Raleigh Burner though 8)

 

[chiffy]

Burner? Hardly a Grifter tho' is it? :wink:

 

[Rebel_Runner]

Star Wars toys, BMX's and and Speccys! Perfectly sums up my 80's childhood... Happy days.

Yes, i've been there too. They have a tiny little window with vintage 70s and 80s stuff but no Star Wars. :?
