Some bits yes ..
Some bits are actually dug up from out of our Garden from when we played with them as kids ..
A lando kalrisian
leia Endor helmet
But mostly no ..
But most we had what we now have so we have always gone towards what we had ..
Exception Japanese stuff,
But evil Ken’evil / gremlims / ghost busters / mask / he man / transformers / action man / action force / g i Joe , starcom
Star wars blah blah .. we have had most of it as kids,
We had a Ewok battle wagon usa esclusive as kids .,,
But now I got the skiff ,
We actually got most our toys as kids with our Mum and dad at jumble sales , but all them got smashed / played with .
Started collecting toys all my
Life really ..
As a kid I even had a care bare collection .. I mailed away for a care bear cloud car ..
But I could not have ever got the
Care bear city care a lot !
As it was way outta my parants budget and I think it was usa exclusive.
When mask toys came out
I had to have it !
Being only of around 7 years of age the only way i could get it
Was to take the money for the electricity bill my parents would keep in a cup on the mantle piece above the fire place and buy it!
£60 It got me
miles mayhem and his plane / helicopter
Condor
Thunder hawk
Parents found out ,
I got punished
But they gave them to me the next Christmas ( 7/8 month wait …

Stuff into bags and sold it cheap .. me and my bros we bought some of that stuff …

Toy shops were sooper cool when your a kid, used to be so many small independent ones too
Got a few old bits, our original Scalextric set we had as kids 1275 GT Minis, got a load of extra track from the tip and more Mini's and the JPS F1 cars we had

I remember you saying, very cool set that is
Rarest slot car set I have is Automan, basically same as Ideal Dukes Of Hazzard with cardboard computers to replace the buildings, Automan Car instead of General Lee and new Box Lid, even had Dukes of hazzard on the track, has sticker to cover it
Got couple of carded figures, jigsaw too and Series on DVD. Not much Automan stuff so you wouldn't need to much space to collect it all lol
Hang onto that set as its worth a lot of money if its complete, as Hornby Hobbies (who owns Scalextric) only has one complete and its in their Vistor's Centre, if I remember correctly, as they sold off there archive years ago, which was a treasure trove of wonders
