Vintage Toys I saw this weekend

This past Sunday I set up at Burlington Toy Show, mostly to hang out with friends and eat food that’s not good for me but also to hopefully earn some money for next week’s Mego Meet toy show. It was hard being good but I took photos instead of buying, above is easily the rarest toy […]

PodStallions 16: Buck or Starbuck?

Episode 16 finds us going “Full On Glen A Larson” with a delving into his seminal science fiction works. Even though we touched upon both of these shows in episode 7, neither Jason nor Brian felt we did either justice. Episode 16 goes deeper into both Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers and sees our hosts […]

There is just something so odd about trying to make tube socks cool.. I also love the wonderful merging of themes here, is this toy love or fashion mockery? Why, […]

A place for your cubits

For those of you who’ve stayed up long nights wondering what a case of Larami Battlestar Galactica wallets looked like, rest easy my friends. Also, seek help, that’s not a good sign. Say what you will about the remake series but they didn’t get cheap dollar store wallets with a girl Starbuck did they? Actually, […]

Battlestar to the moon!

At first glance the Larami L.E.M lander looks more logical, almost in synch with the series. I mean these guys packaged EVERYTHING under the BSG banner save for sewing sets including jets, yes just plain ordinary fighter planes. However, the L.E.M lander is just a repackaged moon landing toy and has absolutely nothing to do […]

Vintage Toy Store Pictures: Part 13

It’s time once again to be whisked back to a simplier time, one that was dominated by “Mom and Pop” toy chains and the wonderful, almost chaotic way toys were distributed.  Vintage Toy Store Shots thirteen features images from a former Mattel employee, who seemed to in charge of taking shots of retail displays and […]
