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?

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

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
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

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

@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
