yeah , i know , behind the times......but won my first bid on e-bay today ......funny how little thing please little minds eh?

I really am on a 'retro wave' at the moment, i've decided to collect examples of all my favourite '70s toys and display them for my own personal gratification......
my winning bid was for a Dinky Toys Harrier aircraft ...with retractable undercarriage......for the princely sum of £27.50p

my brother lost mine when we were nippers ......and as he didn't get a birthday card or prezzie last week.......i am gonna wave it in front of him and shout.......




Ner Ner na Ner Ner !!!!!!

and then sing in an Eddie Murphy style...
'you cannot have one'
'you're on the welfare'
'you can't afford one!'



i don't think i'll ever grow up.......that would suck bigger than a big sucky thing from sucksville

Good for you!

I have a collection of about 50 late 70's/early 80's handheld electronic games for the same reason.

AstroWars anyone?

I've still got one of those! A metal slider on the top of the fuselage lowers the undercart and swivels the nozzles, yes?

I always wanted 'Flight Deck'... a mate at school had it, we used to try to fly the plane (Phantom?) down the stairs...
