OT: Look what I found today

Following on from THIS thread I thought I'd have a poke around in my parents loft while on a break from welding up the XR4i





Just a small selection of the bits I know that are packed away up there, can't believe Mr Austin still has his engine and gubbins in his arm along with missiles for the various vehicles! I've got the 'bat boat' that goes on that trailer behind the batmobile as well!

There is a UFO 'interceptor' up there with the large missile, an original talking dalek (boxed) - loads of first release star wars figures, early action man stuff (including the classic diving gear - large helmet and lead weights!)

Had a look on ebay for what some of the stuff goes for and had quite a shock!


Anyone else still got some old classics tucked away?

Lol - Bat-boat I was wondering what the trailer was for - bit Locost looking for Batman. I dont ever recall seeing Batman towing the Bat-boat to the marina though?? Sorry - Bat-marina

cool - does the spring-loaded slicer on the front of the BATMOBILE still work? - must be 40+ years old?

My god that lot takes me back to the early 70's that's for sure, either had or played with all that lot - used to love the Steve Austin

Hmm, if only.. I had most of that stuff and at the time me dad used ot buy bangers, run them a bit and scrap them...

So, when my toys where looking a bit battered or bits not working/missing they went the same way usually a bonfire for the plastic stuff grrrrrr

@Liam - Ah the bat marina - British leylands finest!

@DRC INDY 7 - The eagle is in pretty good nick, just the pod has marks on it where it might of been ejected from height!

@stevegough - I didn't want to play around with them just incase I got carried away and didn't get any more welding done


Found a few more bits today, might post another pic down memory lane


Cheers
