RenMarx Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Just amazing! I like everything about it, very colorful and no attention given to the case just the toys. Great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm enjoying the work in progress in getting some of my collection on display...and space is extremely limited. It's fun figuring out new ways to use the neodymium magnets and acrylic rods and disks. I think I found a cheaper source for the disks if anyone is interested...they're great for mounting those unstable spacemen.The rocket at the bottom isn't as tilted as it looks in the photo..

RenMarx Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Just brilliant, Bill! You have certainly kicked things up a notch or two. I think I need yet another case of some kind now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Gil Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Outstanding! thanks for sharing. I really enjoy how you have the "pinwheel" type flyers displayed - what are those toys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Thanks, the neodymium magnets provide endless options. The pinwheel spacemen are made by Reliable Toys of Canada and originally had a clamp on the bottom for clipping them to bicycle handlebars. I believe these are an earlier version because they can also be found having solid plastic airplane-type propellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Gil Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Those are super cool - my daughter happened to be looking over my shoulder when I first saw them... now she's a fan of those. No pun intended. New items to hunt for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Thanks MG, they're pretty hard to come by; I managed to get all three from the same source. Here's a link to the thread I started when I first got them: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Gil Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 very nice - thanks for sharing. I would not be able to split them up either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Gil Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I found this style on http://geoffstoys.blogspot.com/ I think we can safely say that the only way that I'll be adding any versions of this old toy will be if I stumble right over it on some junking trip.
