Here's some play damaged Polistil motorcycles. Mine from new. Also was the "poor kid" with the Polistil slot cars, push together track, no proper joiners. Had to wait 'til I was at work to afford a Scalextric.....

Had to trim my collection substantially prior to coming to Aus, but I still sneaked a load of stuff over! So what other treasures are you hoarding???

Some great swag there Kev!
I remember having few of those Hot Wheels. As I recall didn't the red '34 Ford and the silver '63 Vette have the feature of being able to jack up the rear end? Pretty cool at the time!

Nice collection there Kev
I lost all my swag apart from my car in the divorce and swag ain't that cheap anymore about the only thing I got left is a card that was given to me by a certain driver of an a four door Valiant claiming he had beaten me at the strip

Very nice Kev, its those damn hotwheels cars that got ms into American cars at the tender age of 5 in 1972. Got the cars in the loft but the track is long gone now....I had the Benelli bike as well but it got broken as I played with it, not realising it was a model really and not a toy. My dad wasnt happy and now I know why.
Thanks for sharing your collection mate

Wish I still had all mine from a kid. My mum worked in a really large department store... In the massive toy departments, they had two!
I got so much cool stuff, Had all the original Aruora monster models, as well as all the rat fink and ed roth stuff. Even had a prototype James bond Aston, that cam on a stand with certification. These were sent out to the large stores before they were released, to entice people to pre order. Had loads of Dalek stuff, the store had a life size working Dalek! Never got that!
Now my collectables are mainly original photographic prints, all celeb's. shot by famous photographers. I have a few Bailey prints, that he gave me personally, he usually gave me a print when I went round his gaff. I have a few of the Pistols signing contract outside buck house, an amazing one of Ali. I even have a signed print from Lategan, that he shot of me!
Best is a shot of Marilyn Munroe!
Probably all worth a small fortune, and as they were all given to me by the photographers, all free!

Love the Mopar shot glasses Kev.
Are they 60/70's originals or a later recreation?
Off to hunt the Bay!
