50p the lot. The Skywalker one is 70mm diameter which is pretty big for a button badge.

Best yard sale ever...

^about 2 ft tall!

No way that was from a yard sale? Is the gorilla a mask or ....?

Definitely a yard sale but it was stuff from a "not so active anymore" boardie so much more contrived than usual yard sale finds (there were not a lot of toys there though, these were def the top items IMO)

The gorilla is a print on wood. Here's the other I have:

really fun pieces!

Damn great score, that Nag is just as awesome.

^^
Those are great . . . . i need to get something sorted like that for my place!


My latest blaster find. Boot-sale 30p.
This is the smallest i've found so far but it certainly makes up for that in volume and flashing lights.
It is incredibly loud

More boot-sale finds . . .

I love these cheap mecha bootlegs.


Since i started collecting these space-toy blasters i'm seeing them quite often.
People really under-value them . . . i get them dirt cheap. These are all from boot-sales:

Sick Series 2 Dust Brain. Boot-sale.
Has a little rip on the hole where the brains splurge out, but for 30p im not bothered.

More boot-sale goodness . . . .

Vintage Ronald pencil sharpener 1983 - £1
It was splattered with ink but i cleaned it off nice with isopropyl.

Michelangelo Soaky 1998
50p at a boot-sale . . . .

'Leon' . . . originally sold as a set deal with a pair of Stussy x Nike Court Force Low's exclusively through the London Stussy store in 2006 (Leon was the store manager).

I paid considerably more than 40p!

^^
Thanks, organic addict on flickr let me know his name too . . .
i did'nt realise it was a London exclusive though (and Leon was the manager).

The seller couldn't get rid of both of them quick enough. Some people see no value in toys!

Cenobite garage kit . . . semi-painted. Over 15" high.
Made in 1992. £3 at a boot-sale.



Catwoman coin bank
50p, same boot-sale.



More vintage badges. I paid £2 for whole a box full.
These are some of my faves.

That cenobite kit is crazy Moog! What an odd and amazing find to come across. I am sure it would fit right in on a lot of SBers' shelves. More, great pins, ha! It is a shame they don't have these ubiquitously as they used to be - you miss out on so many great things (but then, maybe they wouldn't have the same nostalgia value either). You need to set up a cork board or something to display them all on.

Wow Moog, some super heavy scores there and agreed on that Cenobite ^, what a steal! looks great

That catwoman bank is great!

Damn nice finds yet again. I love the Dug out club pin.

^^ Yeah, the Cenobite was a surprise to say the least. The seller had nothing else like it and he was very old so i assume it belonged to his son or something . . . . i wish i could stumble across some Japanese kaiju garage kits but that is extremely unlikely here in the UK.

And yeah, the 'Dugout Club' pin is pretty rare. It was a famous Bristol club that was just before my time.
I've been to the Fleece & Firkin (the green badge) a few times though.

As Ultrakaiju says, its interesting how pin badges used to be so widespread and nowadays are not used hardly at all for promoting stuff. I know badge makers are out there doing their thing but compared to years ago its a drop in the ocean.

Solar Geisha. I would guess this is a souvenir from Kyoto or Asakusa.
She's dancing very cutely on my desk right now . . . . 50p at a boot sale.

Anyone read Japanese? I'd be interested to know what is written on the front and back.

Both boot-sale buys . . .

Shokupanman plush
