Re: garage sales
20p at a boot-sale. I thought this was from the 'Real Ghostbusters' toy line by Kenner but i cannot find it online in any of the databases . . . anyone recognise it? Its stamped with '1989 Columbia Pictures'.

Re: garage sales
It is indeed from The Real Ghostbusters. This fella was called the 'Galloping Ghoul Ghost' (weren't those toy names in the 80s just the greatest?). He came with the Ecto-3 set:

Re: garage sales
No idea. He's pretty cool, though. 3.5" high. He had nubs on the bottom of his feet, so obviously slotted into something. I sliced them off so he can stand up. 20p at a boot-sale. Totally reminds me of Link from the Legend of Zelda series . . .

Re: garage sales
Mini Space Blaster 3.5" long with 8 different sound effects and flashing light patterns. These originally come in a pack of two (red & blue), sold in those 'executive' toy novelty gift shops . . . I found this one at the bottom of a toy box in a charity shop. Its tiny and cute. 20p.

Re: garage sales
NutronBotix 1985 (No idea of manufacturer) This was from a boot-sale and cost me £1.50 It originally came in a box with a shield, weapons to hold and the legs can be disconnected and replaced with a vehicle . . . . the extra bits and car were nowhere to be seen but for £1.50 i'm not too bothered. Here it is complete:

Re: garage sales
Yep, lots of wandering but finding the occasional gem for very little money keeps you looking. For any collector that is addictive!
I live central in a city which helps. I cannot wait for boot-sale season to start up again. . . . that's where I find the best stuff. Most charity shops have eBay pickers who syphon off the collectables before they hit the stores. Still, the odd thing slips through, I've been collecting vintage mini-size Asterix books and I found a few more of those the other day.

Re: garage sales
Takara Transformers 1984. I think these are called 'Topspin' or 'Twist'. Both were a few pence at boot-sales. I think maybe the red one is a bootleg because it doesn't have the official Takara stamp like the other one and i cant find it online. Not sure . . . .

Re: garage sales
Found another Turtle for this set. I've figured-out they are chewing gum containers made by Topps in the US. Interesting to note Michelangelo's Nunchucks have been completely erased from the sculpt so he is holding nothing. This must of been around the time when they were changed to 'Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles' here in the UK. Obviously other Ninja weapons were OK, just the Nunchucks were deemed offensive . . . . . i think it was those and throwing stars that were banned at the time. Hoping to find the fourth turtle at some point . . . .

Re: garage sales
Wow! Amazing that they would go through the trouble of doing away with the nunchucks. So stupid!

Re: garage sales
Some more Choro-Q / Penny Racers at a boot sale. Unprecedented five in one box. The kid was asking 20p each for them. They all have dings here and there but who cares for 20p . . . Takara / Blue Box The teensy-weensy motorbike is pretty cool. Friction drive. Also 20p but from a different seller at the same boot.

I should've compared them while I still had him.

I shouldn't be surprised its from Power Rangers, they are insanely popular toys. I see tons at boot-sales but i only buy ones that interest me . . . . i think some of these below are very likely Power Rangers related too. As for my 'Megazord', he's only about 5" tall which is nowhere near the size of the one you gave away! £1 each at a boot. I like the way the smaller one folds into a back-pack on the larger one. . . . and two more cool little bootlegs for my ever growing collection. 20p each.
