That Lego pirate could be worth some money.

It's the Black Seas Barracuda set. I know as I have just put together my old one again with the wrong figures. I was looking up what some missing parts and I had to have a stiff whisky!

I was going to put it in the charity shop pile.

Some nice bits in your job lot, can't see anything too exciting in your freebies unfortunately, but I'll have a proper zoom in when I get home

I was thinking £7.50 the lot posted as it’s quite heavy.

EvilBay prices are all over the shop. It's probably some slight difference in the decal or something. Worth looking up though.

Edit the figure is called Captain Red Beard.

[morrisoxide]

Charity shop finds 25p each.

Majorette Scenic, Matchbox Isuzu Amigo, HW Mini (that dosn't open up) and Real toy M3.

[bunglebus]

Mini is a multipack only colour, good find

[155V6]

My charity shop finds from today.The Dinky hovercraft isn't something I'd normally look at,but I couldn't leave it for 50p

Some more pics after some had a bath. Will be picking out what I’d like to keep and the rest will be available.

Don't be too quick to chuck this little dude...

Also a Matchbox product, though largely forgotten these days.

Remember these?

That's him, third row down on the left.

Also - HFM?

I remember those! Never had any, but I remember them being on the shop shelves. 
They didn’t really take off though I don’t think.

[Zie]

I had them! I'd completely forgotten they were a thing. Had a load of knockoff ones too.

Could I claim that Shell tanker trailer please?  I'm sure we will be doing business soon to drop it in with.

But - I came away with these two.

US Matchbox releases - the No.57 Mini Truck being from the dog days of Lesney, and in a colourway we didn't see in Blighty, while the No.44 Chevy 4x4 Van is the same as the one I had as a kid, and heavily played with (it was one of my favourites).

This pair have spent too much time already in their boxes on a shelf.

Adventure awaits!

Could I claim the road signs etc, the planes, the varta volvo and the fed ex container please?

No toy fairs or even boot sales for me, rain stops play. This Playart Alfa P33 landed on the mat though

 

 

 

The actual car from 1968.

Quote

The Alfa Romeo Stradale P33 Pininfarina Roadster was designed by Paolo Martin and displayed at the Turin Motorshow in November 1968. The car was built on an Alfa Romeo P33 chassis and had a V8 mid-mounted engine. The second 33 Stradale-based concept car known as the P33 Roadster featured a wedge shaped design, a large overhead spoiler or aerofoil positioned just behind the cockpit and “beetle-wing” doors. The car was painted white with the interior and aerofoil in brown. It is thought the body was later removed by Pininfarina and replaced with the Cuneo design that debuted in January 1971 at the Brussels Motor Show.

Sure mate. @eddyramrod, would you like the remainder for the cost of postage, say £4?

It sounds daft after just buying a job lot but I’m trying to slim down the collection! 

[Tenmil Socket]

I think these 2 are my favourites from yesterday’s job lot:

You be careful you don’t scuff up those minty shiny wheels!😆

They are awesome though.

I agree, it does sound daft, but needs must, I guess.  I would be very rude to turn down your offer, wouldn't I?  Very  Rude is something I'm absolutely not, so Yes Please.  I'll PM...

[Tenmil Socket]

I also found this Super Noodles yo-yo in the box!

@bunglebus, any interest in the red truck, go-kart or mini van?

[bunglebus]

The little van is quite funky

That jet ski reminds me of the Big Trak thing

[bunglebus]

Just got home staggering under the weight of my purchases

We only went to the late boot sale as I suspect the early one would have been pretty muddy, I did at least get a good laugh about the guy asking £10 for a playworn silver Matchbox VW camper because apparently I won't find another with both doors. I suspect he has not been in my loft!

I hope you told him that 😂

[bunglebus]

Might have done 😁

[bunglebus]

You know when you buy something, you then keep seeing others the same? Last night YouTube suggested a video of a guy customising a Healer Wheeler, then at the boot sale I kept seeing them, so in the end I grabbed this one to make up an X cars for Y amount bundle. No idea what I'll do with it

Zylmex Capri is usually found in black

Funny enough I was also looking at this colour Zylmex Fiat on eBay this morning, to go with the blue version

Funky Tonka Beetle

Definitely not trying to find all of these, but I'll take interesting ones that cross my path

Think a 187 has taken place here, going by the bullet hole straight through the windscreen

Does anybody know what this is off… TOMY?

 

[bunglebus]

It seems Tomy did lots of ripcord toys

[bunglebus]

Gave the Matchbox '66 Chevelle a bit of extra detail, there's not a left to do really, but I silvered the mirrors, headlights and wipers, black washed the grille and painted in the number plates, dash top, steering wheel and dogs, and blacked out the post in the back - plus gave the wheels centres a coat of silver too. I love this style as they look like Halibrand kidney beans, why Mattel leave them black I don't know

That is very cool! It looks like a brilliant little casting they’ve done. Your extra’s really enhance it.

That's a lovely looking casting. Will have to look out for one!
