Flashbacks-R-Us with that one! I got in so much trouble with this toy, hiding behind bushes and pelting cars coming around the corner with water balloons

Yeah, I never had that one, but I remember Entertech had a whole line-up of realistic water guns that were pretty awesome. I think I had a Tec-9 that I loved...

Yup. Entertech and Larami had some crazy awesome guns back in the 80's. They all looked like the real thing.

If I didn't know better I would think that was your own auction...

It's a nice set though. I remember getting it somehow as a kid. I know we didn't mail away for it though... I think I actually got it at Christmas as a stocking stuffer or something. Maybe my parents mailed away for it? Anyway, very nice. Pretty common though, aren't they?

I've been planning on getting one for some of my ESB figures.

Nope. All my vintage ____ from SW-ESB, from telescoping Luke to my Falcon and Death Star playset got left at my babysitters in Morgan Hill when I moved to Santa Clara for 5th grade in '82.

That alone is reason to completely cut off your parents

A few recent pick-ups... I'd post more pics, but I'm gearing up for a big figure purge and my collection room looks like a bomb went off in it

 

[Skiman]

^^^ I told Yank to sell you these he asked if you were a bad news bear and I said "Yea, but he has his good days..."

Yup, thankfully ROTJ was right around the corner or I wouldn't have had any Star Wars toys.

I recently bought back my 2 favorite toys from my childhood.I was born in 1976 and these toys were a bit before my time but my older cousin gave them to me when I was 6 and they became my grails at the time, those 2 bad ass action figures had an immediate impact on the kid that I was...I hold unto them until I had 11 years old, they were the last 2 toys I had kept but finally sold them at a yard sale when I started having interest in girls...lollll



Did you guess who they were....?






















Kenner's Bionic Bigfoot and Mego's 12 Hulk !!!

Now back in the Worm's collection..

 

[thenammagazine]

Always wanted Bigfoot. I had that stupid robot dude for the bad guy instead.

 

[cplhicks]

Newest figure.

moc wall

Some mib acessories

Loose figures.

It's not much but I'm really happy with it

On a side not I was too young for vintage Star Wars (born in 86) But I would buy them from local garage sales before the new stuff hit in 95 as they were my only option for star wars toys. I still have all my old figures from childhood and they still have a place in my collection. The only thing I did to them was buy there weapons for them as since they were from a garage sale most were missing there acessories.

 

[galactiboy]

Kickass man!!!

Love that Bigfoot figure... looks like yours is in great condition

 

[Shai]

yep, mint vintage figures rules...

 

[DPrime]

That Bigfoot guys is pretty cool. Before my time - that thing just screams '70s!

Good news! Looks like my vintage BUGG, Skystorm, Tiger Rat, mail-away FANG and Evader are coming after all! Seller got back me, seems like everything will be fine, hopefully.

Question for you vintage TF guys - can you replace a seeker canopy fairly easily? I got a vintage Thrust over the past several months and he's in great condition, but the canopy for the cockpit is a bit scratched up. There's a screw there that looks like it would open up the area so it could just be taken out an replaced, but I don't want to fiddle with it not knowing... GI Joe's my main thing, not TFs, as cool as they are. I only have a handful of G1 vintage...

 

[klocket]

Ok, here is my updated case... i just said screw and if the He-Man stuff "dominover" then so be it.

I also, added some C.O.P.S stuff after these pics were taken.

Continued in the next post....

 

[klocket]

I also noticed for the first time that Face and Michael either shop at the same store or they have the same stylist:

I also realized i didn't get pics of the TMNT shelf... i will do that later... maybe.

Thanks for looking!

Klocket, Shai, and GB nice hauls/collections!!! I keep forgetting about this thread and when it pops up it's always awesome. Although you beat me to those Dinobots Jo! What are you purging?

 

[sladesuperagent]

Nice stuff klocket!

 

[galactiboy]

Klochet!!! Damn, that shelving unit is epic!!!

What are you purging?

Nothing vintage But mostly looking at selling HT stuff that I'm not as in-love with, a few customs, and other random things. Part of the list I already had assembled and is stuff that isn't on display, but I added a lot more too it.

 

[klocket]

Nice stuff klocket!

Thanks Man!

Klochet!!! Damn, that shelving unit is epic!!!

Thank you, I will make sure "Klochet" gets the memo.
