Attom43 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Clunkclick, I empathised with every word, to aim for the biggest collection in the world, then take a step back and look at all the junk you've assembled, so you sell it off and concentrate on the finest ( most valuable) collection the world has ever seen, then...as the years go by you start to collect what you like, wether it be old and battered or mint and boxed, the main thing is that it's fun (and frustration) all the way. I've sold mint boxed Batman robots, the rarest Marx Batmobile, prototype Dinky toys, very rare 007 toys along with dolls trains and rare early Disney items and it doesn't bother me one bit (apart from the Nomura Batman robot...boxed!) :( Roboto, glad you like the Fanny Farmer truck, here's the other one I have, do you know of any more?NoelWow.. I grew up 15 mins from this candy factory right outside Boston. MA.. In fact my Grandmother who passed on 10 years ago at 96 worked in the Schraffts candy factory as a teenage girl.... the building and it's logo and clock is still there but it's now an office complex...Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toyman Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Just when I was thinking the well had run dry, these items turn up, I did an antique and collectors fair last week and the first thing I spot are the Beatles bobbin head dolls for $15.00 :lol: :blink: the mint & boxed BBC TV truck for $135.00 (very cheap compared to UK prices) and last but not least, the Space phones! :rolleyes: Maybe there's hope for me yet down here!hope you like them...Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
