Strange Star Wars Knock Off Flicker Ring (Sponsored link)-
You have to admit, this is something you’ve never seen before.
Empty Topps Kung Fu Gum Card Box (sponsored link)
As many folks know,I have a life long love of this amazing television series and it’s awesome messages. I am also however, not one of those guys that values gumcards that much, so as much as I love this gorgeous package, I can’t swing the going rate but it is, truly magnificent.
Love Boat Rack Toy Playset by Fleetwood (sponsored link)–
If you’ve ever wanted to reneact the exciting times that Jimmie Walker (or any 1970s television celebrity) is either exiting or entering said “Love Boat” then this is the set for you!
Wonderbug Board Game (sponsored link) –
I really love the box artwork for this, it’s a game I haven’t played but hope to someday. I was a big Wunderbug fan as a kid.
A set of Chem Toy Astro Warriors (sponsored link) —
I’ve never really paid much attention to these, just another series in the slew of Spacey Rack Toys that appeared after Star Wars. These guys sort of have a “Bad News Bears” appeal to them.

That weird Stormtrooper bug-thing! I’ve never seen that as a ring but I remember those (I think) as gumball machine prizes, like rubbery pencil topper things. Maybe they were just cheap-o, loose-in-a-box kind of toys?… I just remember them being weird little multi-color things, can’t remember how they were actually sold now… Those got me to wondering why the Empire only had human stormtroopers and not a variety of alien shapes and sizes under those helmets…
I like the Astro-Warriors toys.
I’ll have to look around for current toys that are like them
