Was through in Hartlepool today and my dad wanted me to go through my stuff in the loft as they're planning to move in a year or so.
Only went through half the stuff and didnt have a clue what I'd find.
Uncovered a boxed ZX Spectrum; not seen if there are any games yet. Are these actually worth owt? And anyway, if they're not worth loads, does anyone want it if it works?
Lots of subbuteo teams squashed into a grey Fosters carrier bag. You cant have them; I havent found a pitch, goals, ball etc yet but if I do I'm gonna start playing my son.
A rubber dinghy, some jigsaws and some mugs - including a pink panther one, a hanging monkey one and an I Shot JR one.

Looking forward to the next time I go up there so I can look for more subbuteo stuff, check out the spectrum and see all the books and games etc.

i'll have the star wars stuff

Get them on EBAY, a boxed Speccy is worth a few bob

No Star Wars stuff soz. My mate Garrard had enough for me as well. Should be plenty of action man stuff if you want that? Eagle eyes and all that.
Will check out Ebay ta Talbot

speccy v the commodore 64, i was a 64 lad myself just think now how many kids would have the patience to sit and wait for a tape to load up and how annoying was the noise it made

When my lads were little they wanted one of those new subuteo pitches, the name escapes me, but I duly bought it and our lass wrapped it up for Christmas. The poor little sods were heartbroken when they saw she'd taken it out of the tube, folded it ....firmly! and then managed to make it into a delightful 8 inch square flat parcel that looked 'so much nicer wrapped up like that than in that boring tube'
We never did get those raised furrows out of the 'playing surface'

eye for a bargain then timmy
star wars stuff has gone through the roof

Not got an iron in your house then ?

it was the new type of pitch, the iron would have melted the plastic backing....and don't go making excusues for her!

Should have got the felt one.

Did anyone else actually play a game under floodlights? Not great were they

The worst part was, that the eldest one wanted West Ham and I couldn't get a team set anywhere, so I bought a Leeds set and repainted them myself. However, the ungrateful, pedantic little git took a wobbly as the hair colour didn't match the shirt numbers ....

a man's gotta try ian ive still got some star wars stuff in me mams loft, firmly wrapped and sealed in black bin liners. millenium falcon, some other vehicles and some figures.


and we got chewbacka in goal

ah, the astro turf pitch!

a quality item, so much better than the glued onto hardboard effort that i had, gave the pitch wobbly lines...

Lofty's Expectations!!

WOBBLY LINES...? I'd have settled for that. when she'd finished, our 'astro turf' pitch had the scale equivalent of drystone walls

hmmmm

actually the tube thing made the edges curl up.....so you had to weigh em down with books an that-best use for em!
