Toys have changed

These two went for 3 grand on Pawn Stars earlier (well the episode was on earlier)

 

 

 

 

 

Personally I can't take my eyes off the toy in the background. 

 

Not that one

I sold all of my old Action Force variants of the GI Joe toys last summer on ebay. Some of it went for absolutely mental money.

Class game. Had a game of real cricket rained off one Saturday afternoon, settled the outcome playing this in the pub. Each player got to bat, and the bowlers bowled an over. We filled in the scorebook and sent it into the local paper as if it was a normal game. Everyone else was rained off and were amazed that we got played.

My brother bought his son some of those last year. They look good but I prefer the Super7 Filmation figures.

 

It's weird that they do a Ray Quinn head for Skeletor.

Anyone used to get Action Jack figures? We used to get them from a sweet shop by Goodison when we'd visit my (now sadly departed) Auntie Jean.

 

That same sweet shop used to sell ice cream cones but instead of ice cream they'd have a really nice sweet cream with a chocolate topping. 

 

This is mid 80s.

These new retro action figures are boss. I think they’re great fun. I wanted to buy them for my brother’s son for Christmas, but he’s into Iron Man, not Batman, the awkward little sod.

Some cunt on EBay trying to sell Action Man space capsule with box and figure in the space suit for 450 quid each. He \ she has 4 of them up for sale.

 

Might have to get mine out of the loft and stick them on for 399!

My cousin had this, I can remember playing it whilst stuck in a Butlins Pwhelli chalet because it was pissing down.

I also had this which was incredibly difficult.

All the turtles games were notoriously difficult.

I’ve seen the exhibition, it’s really good. Worth a trip to the Atkinson at the moment.

I had one of them but it wasn’t wasn’t snoopy. It was some rocket type game I think. Addictive.

Good read that, had one of those flying car ones - it took some hell of a beating being 'flown' off the stairs, table, etc!
