Kidco Silver Warrior Figure (eBay Link)- Silver Warriors are these wonderful Shogun Warriors Knock-Offs put out by Kidco. I have the Kidco Silver Warriors catalogue here on the site. I’m really fascinated by them but haven’t taken the plunge yet. I think this is mainly because before I collect Silver Warriors, I should finish my Shogun Warriors.

Walt Disney’s The Black Hole V.I.N.C.E.N.T. Promotional Photo For Licensees(eBay Link)- It’s pretty well known that Disney’s The Black Hole was a big deal to me as a kid/adult and while I have a small collection of items, I love window shopping. This seller has a ton of original internal promotional items surrounding the licensing of the movie and well, I just gush at this sort of memorabilia. Even if you have no interest in buying check out what the seller has, it’s neat stuff!

Addar Planet Of The Apes Super Scenes Tree House (eBay Link)- While I don’t have a big model kit collection I will admit I lust after these Addar bottle kits from the 1970s. I hope someday to add this stuff to my collection, odd thing is I NEVER run into these ever. I hope my luck changes, they’re so neat!

The Mod Squad Board Game (eBay Link)- There was a time in my life when 20 year old me stayed up every night until 2am to catch the Mod Squad, I never missed it (although I missed a lot of classes that year). I have never seen this awesome game before, I totally want it.

Space:1999 Puzzle (eBay Link) This puzzle celebrates one of the best episodes of “Space:1999” and also features Christopher Lee, who usually makes things better. There are exceptions like “Attack of the Clones” where even his powers weren’t enough but mostly he improved things.

The post PlaidStallions 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week- Jan 14 2022 appeared first on PS.

You see, back in 1985, I was desperately writing the (pricey) toy dealers in the back of Starlog hoping they’d trade the cool vintage  toys they had for the stuff I could find in the local variety stores like overstock AMT Star Trek models and boardgames from forgotten shows like “Korg 70,000 BC” but nobody ever bit, 70s toys weren’t in demand (except by me).

Until I found the Planet of the Apes Stallion &Soldier model in a store near my grandparents, it was the same store my parents got milk nearly every Sunday after a visit, I got a million comics there, my first starlog, even my first Han Solo figure was purchased there.

This store were a treasure trove of unsold 70s merchandise, I carefully compiled a list of what they had and mailed it out. Then the unexpected happened, somebody called.

A New Jersey toy dealer called frantically and offered me $75 in trade for the kit. I tried to not pretend I was a kid on the phone (my mom cutting in on the call destroyed that) but we made the deal. I begged my folks to take me there, spent the $6  for the kit and shipped it off.

Many, many weeks later, I received a carded Mego Space:1999 Captain Zantor figure from England. It sort of sent me on a path of Mego collecting that has yet to end I’m afraid.

That really sent me on my way, I begun hunting and networking, spending my free hours travelling to find old toys in those dusty corners. Often going to places that my parents probably wouldn’t have been thrilled about me visiting.

That sense of wonder and discovery is why i have trouble driving by yard sales or why i still get up at ungodly hours going to flea markets and toy shows instead of sleeping like my friends.

During that time, I’ve found just about every Addar Planet of the Apes model in my travels, probably ten times or more.

EXCEPT for the Stallion and Soldier, I’ve never come across it since. When I saw it that lonely weekend, something just clicked and I had to have it. 32 years later, it’s nice to be reunited.


It’s probably not the same kit but I’d like to think it is….
