Childish i know.

Watching one of the pawn(yes pawn) shows on telly one night and a few old toy bikes and cars came in the shop, the guy was saying that the original boxes can be as valuable as the toys:confused:

I owned an antique store for 8 or 9 years in the early '90s. What Americans call 'pickers' aussies call 'door knockers'. Was incredible the gear i found just roaming around in my old F100 checking out old houses and sheds. Market for old stuff was a lot better back then. Doubt you would make a living these days.
 
Here I was thinking you were wanting these toys because you're laid up in bed with your knee and run out of things to play with. But TC, you're an enigma, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. :D

I have a feeling we had some of these when we were kids and I'll have a look when I'm over at my parents' house on the w'end. Amazing what they've kept. Still got an original batmobile with chain cutter, flaming exhaust and rocket launcher, and other stuff mostly in working order although my kids and my brothers' kids have destroyed most of it.

Out of bed mate , up and about on the crutches ... not sure exactly what an 'enigma' is , but i'm pretty sure it ain't the worst thing i've been called :roll:
 
Actually it means that beneath that rough exterior........etc etc. Come to think of it Mitch, you're not that far off. :roll:
 
You'll get no argument out of me .. well aware i ain't no oil painting. How i have kept on jagging attractive intelligent women half my age has got me f#ckin stumped :D f#ck it i'm going to look up what enigma means !!!
 
Looked it up... don't mean ugly at all Mitch :D Not sure if it really applies to me but at least now i know what it actually means.
