5 Awesome Things on eBay this week

[RSS]

Space:1999 Road Stars Moon Buggy- It's September 13th, so it's Breakaway day! I love this little diecast vehicle mainly because the card art is an outtake?

All the Superman Presto Magix Sets- OK, I'm not going to lie here, a lot of the stuff I share, I'm probably not going to buy or am only sharing because I can't afford it. THIS ONE HURTS. I love Presto Magix and if i hadn't have already spent all my money on goofy stuff this month, this would be mine. So please, enjoy responsibly....

AHI Wolfman Flasher Face- I actually owned one of these and put it in Rack Toys. I sold it years later and wonder if this is it. It's a neat piece that i was wishy-washy about selling but whatever...

Mr Dress Up appearance Poster- OK, so Mr. Dressup was basically Canada's version of Mr. Rogers, in fact he was Fred Rogers Protege. He's basically adored by Canadians of a certain age and this is like, insanely tempting because there is ZERO merchandise. I'm certain that any American friend who lived in a border state is aware of him because this poster is from Detroit.

Corgi Crimefighters set- Sure the box has seen better days but a team-up of James Bond, Buck Rogers and the crew of the Enterprise, OH SIGN ME UP! NOW!

Wow, some great stuff this week. That image of Barbra Bain lounging in the Moon Buggy reminds me of how artists painted an outtake of Elsa Lanchester as the Bride of Frankenstein sipping tea on a break into one of the official posters!

I had that Superman Presto Magix set. I always loved seeing that old 50s image of Superman still in use on merchandise in the 70s. He looked very George Reeves there.

I know I got a Corgi Jr. set that came with the Batmobile, the Spider-Cycle, the Super-Mobile...and James Bond's Aston Martin. but this set takes the cake!

Is it wrong that I think that Wolf Man flashlight looks a bit more like Chewie than Larry?

That Corgi set is pretty suspect.

As far as I know, Corgi never did Star Trek. I think that is a Dinky Enterprise.

I could be wrong. But I really don't think it's legit.

Edit: Apparently Corgi did have the TMP license. So I stand corrected.

I think it was for Wrath of Khan in 1982. Which makes it a bizarre gift set since buck Rogers was dead in the water by 1981.

I can confirm Mr. Dressup was on afternoon rotation in the metro Detroit area. Lamb chop was another children's show from Canada popular during that time.

Lamb Chop was Canadian?
I never knew.

I knew the Friendly Giant was, as well as Hilarious House of Frightenstein, but had no idea about Lamb Chop.

I don't think Lamb Chop is Canadian--Shari Lewis may have been on Canadian shows, but she was from New York and first introduced the character on Capt. Kangaroo.

I still have the Buck Rogers ship somewhere

You're right. Lamb Chop was based outta NY I was mistaken.
