That's actually the Rocket Command Center.
Just got GOR in the mail today, been wanting him forever. I think I just need The Sheild to have all the non-human AT and Super Joe's.
OH SNAP! Who is going to tell Hypnos??!!Quote:

Was able to find this boxed Patriot recently. The only boxed one I have ever come across so I am pretty excited to have it.

I'd love to find the Raiders Action Team Mate one day.
Just got a couple of Finger-Dings in the mail.

Ok I have never heard of Finger-Dings and the combo of the name and the picture just made me laugh out loud. :smiley1:Quote:

Yeah, the best part about it is the old school uni and helmet. Raiders are among the 5-8 most common figures so keep checking eBay and you are likely to find one eventually.Quote:

Picked this Mobile Support Vehicle up a few weeks ago. It was missing a few parts and i just got her completed the other day. Also, worked on it a little and got the spot light shining and rotating. Now to get the satellite dish spinning!

Wow!! Great-looking MSV!! That's half the fun, sometimes... getting to fix a little and complete something piece by piece. That really looks fantastic.
Wow that Patriot is awesome. I love the old school unies.
Posted this in the Toy Room, and it didn't get a lot of response. It may be more appropriate to post here in the Classic Toys thread. I know there's some vintage GI Joe fans here :wink_y:. Took a few months to round everything up to complete these sets, but here they are finally.

Those are awesome. Great pics too. I could really get into spy toys, but that's another can of worms.

A couple of handmade 100y/o german glass marbles in there but mainly I liked how he seems to have collected "planets", which gave me an idea for a photo. :grin:

Not my pic - I only just won them.
I've always wanted to start collecting marbles. I wish I would have kept mine as a kid. :beaming1:

Nice collection! Vintage Joe has a special place in my collecting!Quote:

However, having said that, I really don't find either the Little People nor the Adventure People all that much. They both seem like they'd be a fun line to piece together.
Got this in the mail yesterday. NY Football Giants represent!

Man, I buy the weirdest things.
But I love each of these fairly recent acquisitions so hard I think I hurt myself.
They are all fairly rare, and fairly good deals too! All ebay surprise roamings.

That's a sweet vintage 8" BLUE CYCLOPS chalkware bank. OMG that's neat. $18 is a little spendy, but I'd do it again in a second for a retro BLUE CYLCOPS. :heart:
A vintage 1969 Kamar Monkey troll that needed ALOT of cleaning for $8 (they go between $50-$80).
Two super creepy neat Japan bendy Doctor dolls with hitler 'staches $18 total. I found out they're rare Roldan Klumpe doctors which go for $45+. I think they're actually 60's Japan (found sticker) reissues of the 30's Spain Roland Klumpe dolls.
Two Rock Lords Narlies $26 total. It is a good deal for sure, but more importantly these are completely new to me (and hard to find). I don't know where I've been, but I've never seen Narlies before. WANTED!
And super sweet and rare, now a gem in my girlie evil collection, a 1987 Irwin 12" (barbie type) Tea Pot Tots Valerian sorceress that has a huge mask & sack cloth outfit that turns her into the tea pot HAG. $21 and impossible to find.
Now back to that Kamar Troll. :smiley1:
THIS was the disgusting thing before I cleaned it. This is the actual auction pic. Those dark things in his fur are DEAD bug skin skeletons that had to be painstakingly combed out with tons of soap & conditioner (nothing alive, I checked CAREFULLY).
http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6047/7...63697471_o.jpg
...and this is him after literally hours of working on him. His fur's a little krinkly from strong cleaners, and a smidge more sparse, but heck, I would NEVER be able to afford one of these at the regular price, so worth it!
http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6113/7...a0e5b0bb_c.jpg
Great job cleaning him up. He looks great!
G1 My Little Pony
Parasol, Applejack and So Soft Sundance (She is flocked like Panthor).
http://megomuseum.com/mmgallery/file...y_original.jpg
It's challenging to get them with perfect hair. Kids liked to braid and comb the heck out of their hair. Applejack has especially nice hair. Very silky.
I can really see myself getting into collecting FP Little People. Found these today at thrift shops. Both 60's wooden based. paid .99 for the fire engine and $8 for the ferris wheel which still works (plays music and spins)
http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5341/6...1387708a_c.jpg
Not a big find but I got a FP Adventure people race car driver in a lot which was a nice surprise because mine got lost to time/nephews.
http://www.plaidstallions.com/images/fpracer.jpg
Now he's in my childhood car.
Picked up a boxed Fisher-Price Merry-go-Round today at a flea for $10. I can sorta see a "thing" starting here. Anybody know a good site with a 60's/70's checklist for playsets?
FPLP is verrrry addictive!
Brain, I spy some funky toys wearing beltless pants. Oh. Yes. Baby.
I got this for $5 at a yard sale. I thought it would be cool for my eBay store, but when I took it home I realized it is missing the scissors. I said I'm not going to put it up until I find them, even if it takes 10 years or never (I think it's just an excuse for me to hang onto it though and even after I find them if I ever do, I might just keep it). The contents are in really amazing condition, although the box is pretty trashed.
http://i1046.photobucket.com/albums/...s/SDC17330.jpg
Maybe somebody here has them? I think they're pink.
If you are looking for info on FPLP sets, this is a great site.Quote:
