Continuing the nostalgia threads...
Escalado, subbuteo, all those packs of airfix soldiers bought in the model shop on The Hayes, totopoly and risk.
Not a toy as such but those comic giveaways of the football teams you placed in ladders of each division each week. Third Lanark anyone?

Timpo - mainly cowboys and Indians but brilliant figures as opposed to air fix which I loved as wellQuote:

Gave away a load of action man stuff once…..
Never got rid of any of mine or the kids. Attic is full of scaletrix, subbuteo, action men, train sets, Mamod stream engines, a tea chest of Lego, 100s of Matchbox vintage cars, tens of board games and loads more. One day ….
All my Star Wars figures.
Got a load of air fix 1/32 scale soldiers in a bucket in the loft and a number of Britain soldiers but had so many more ( I had enough Union and confederate soldiers at one point to reenact Gettysburg!) . Got a number of Britain tanks, trucks, guns etc too
I recently got my commodore Amiga 500 out of the loft. Surprisingly the power unit still worked, you can get to the loading screen but when you insert the floppy disk it doesn’t read any of the games. I’ve tried cleaning the internal drive but that hasn’t worked. There are specialist places that will look at them but I suspect not worth the cost for a brief nostalgic trip. I did love Sensible Soccer and Speedball
They will be worth something, I have a bit of a collection now….git the Ewok village recently for the kids and me…Quote:

Not toys but I wish I still had my Mars Attacks cards. They're worth a fair bit nowadays.
I remember my brother had Eagle Annuals Nos 1 & 2 and a Roy of the Rovers Annual 1958 until my mother had a spring clean and threw them out. I wish we’d have hung on to those.
I asked for an Action Man for Christmas when I was about 7, I opened up the presents on Christmas morning only to find any empty box, where the Action Man should have been???Quote:

I had a box full of Superman, Batman... all the DC comics ( and a season of City programs, incl the Real Madrid game) and my mam threw them all out when I was at uni. :cry:Quote:

I had a magnetic football set.
I put my foot through the table it when my my father beat me.Big mistake it never was replaced.
A die cast metal dalek, probably with lead paint
A Joe 90 car
A talking (pull cord) Action Man
My treasured blue Raleigh Chopper
My Sega Megadive
Still got my Mamod steam engines which I think are now worth a bit. I also won't let my son get rid of his lego, or his Thunderbirds toys, some of which are still unopened.
Definitely. I kept a couple but got rid of the rest. Can't even remember if I sold them or gave them away or what.Quote:

last year I went for the mos eisley cantina, a bit of a drunken online buy :hehe:
Next year after I pay my tax bill, I fancy the big at at ( another £700 plus but though :angry:, but as the MF, its due to retire next year )
I can kid myself and call it a investment I guess
The idea is to have a big of a display in the mancave, maybe when I retire
All my annuals and all my model planes.
My plastic Beatles guitar with pictures of John, Paul, George and Ringo on it.
