D is for Ditto!

Still where I was yeasterday (which is the day before as these are all 24hr pre-loads - Doh!), so here's some more shots of 'the stash' which I can chuck-up here inconsequentially without proper tagging and stuff, as we'll see it all again! What can you spot . . .

Armymen! Brackets; 'mostly big'! That's next year's RTM taken care of! I'm not sure about the marked bag of New Ray; I think they are actually copies, there are a couple on the top left tub (with a lovely motorcycle - all hidden by the reflection I'm afraid) and they are better than the sand ones so I suspect copies?

Romans Sah! Dozens ov'em! Marx and US, Toyway, Atlantic, Spanish and Italian, Crescent and copies, Cherilea and Timpo - mostly hidden - in the top left tub.

 It's the daft raft race, although the guys with the pump-truck are gonna' get wet!

Wagon overspill, these are all part-complete or dodgy in some way, except the one bottom-right which is about three-lb's of solid brass, 1950's, mantle-ornament! The Comansi only needs a horse, I'm not sure about the boxes, but they came with it and they fit, but so big? That's a lot of guns, or a lot of snake-oil!

 Everybody loves a sailor!

EvilBay-fodder . . . seriously . . . what the fuck am I carrying this stuff around for, I've got them all loose, I don't need this shite! Get 'em all photographed and gone is my new motto, use the money to fill the space with new figures!!

Likewise! A whole box of Merit and copy poplar tress, just poplar trees, war-gamers need these - not me! I need one of each for the archive, scan all five printed sides of the best box and it can all go.

And they've all had to be painstakingly colour-matched, as odds and sods come-in in mixed lots, then when you get four the same they need matching brown trunks to make a 'set'! It's madness!

Atlantic AFV's
Still got to be combined with the attic stuff!

All coming to SCW soon!

  1. If you have seen the price some that stuff has sold for you will be able to feed moggie on salmon forever. Or you will be able to buy a lot more toys. For myself the option would be feed the kids or more toys/junk. More toys But do not tell the wife

  2. Don't get me started on pricing Jah! It's a madness . . . . Britains Swoppet knight; mounted - £100+ any day of the week, yet there's always a few on evilBay, something you've never seen before - unsellable at 99p!

    And the Russian's wanting half-a-week's wages for half-a-dozen figures, NEW figures!

    Nuts!
