coldel Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 ...when you move house and open up those boxes that were in the loft for a few years. Well not that amazing but brought a smile to my face 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Well what are the chances of that?! All I found in our loft from the previous owners was a 1980's Jacobs Mint Club wrapper and a short list of someones particulars. E.g. Their age, address (one we're at), height etc. Think it was some young kids from their school days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 My parents gave away all my Star Wars stuff in the loft about ten years ago, AT AT walkers, Millennium Falcon the lot...probably cost me a few grand! PS, if you want to run a fun competition at InCarNation happy to give this as a prize in case some Zed owner doesn't have it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Same here Payco, everything you have listed also sits in my loft I assume you also have Matchbox, Dinky and Corgi models too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Zeeseebaba. I have a glass case in my study at home with all my corgi and Dinky models in it to keep the childhood memories alive every day. Super flight deck is so simple and basic but the memories I have of firing it up the zip wire to the living room door handle and then steering it back for landing were so exciting at the time. I am so glad I was a 70's child, it was a better place back then we had imagination instead of games consoles. Col, I think you should keep your find, nice gesture but its yours buddy.

nixy Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm just as bad - I have the exact same brochure up in my loft! Along with all the boxes for stuff I buy that I'm convinced I still need, phones, speakers, hairdryers......you name it. I have also got huge box full of die cast supercars all still boxed. It's time for a sort out I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
