Sticking with the Anderson theme..these are actually mine.

Dinky 351 Shado Interceptor from UFO. Originally my gran bought me one for xmas 1972 typically perceptive of her. God rest her soul.

Last one for today..the only Star Wars toy I have ever owned (my brothers were the collectors for SW).

Another great toy from the 70s, possibly late 60s i'm not sure. this rifle did everything!

Ha ha the good old Johnny Seven. Couldnt get away with it in these namby pamby times we live in now.

I recall playing a board game called Ski Run in the mid 70s.
purchased the toy 3 years ago for nostalgic reasons.

This was a cool toy I got Xmas 1977. Well it was cool and it wasn't. Problem with this was it was perminantley in submarine mode and when it wasn't it looked odd as in car mode it had no wheels. Still remains my favourite retro Bond film just for the Lotus scene.

impressed me so much that I bought a full size one

[70s kid]

Got one of these xmas 76. My Action Man phase lasted about 6 months. Again this is the Cherilea 'unofficial' or 'spurious' Sheridan tank model as opposed to the inferior Palitoy Scorpion tank.

My dream also but havent the money. Although i hear they were fairly unreliable ( Rover engines?) Wouldnt put me off though even if it were true.

Nah, lotus engine, bought it 17 years ago when they were dirt cheap, being a mechanic helps as it gets regular maintenance/ tinkering

Would never have took mine to my school would have got mugged : 0 owning it did inspire me to paint a UFO dog fight on my bedroom wall with humbrol oil paints.

I had the spurious jeep, I remember the windscreen was harder plastic and didn’t last 5 minutes , my mate had the motorcycle/sidecar we would play for hours with them and for some reason , they were all called “Jim”

[70s kid]

Got this for xmas 1971. Notice the BOAC livery.

Missus had this HAVOC doll given to her circa 1976. This aint no Barbie. Just goes to show that girl power existed even in the seventies.
