Why did everyone have Afrika Korps??? I had a pack (Yes 35p as well) and so did most of my mates

I’ve thought about this.. i think we must have been all taken in by the lurid oil painting that adorned the box... and for that matter the boxes of all airfix models and the old ladybird books..

this type of artwork has seen a resurgence in recent times... called hyper-realism check this out...

Yep even I had the Afrika Korps...........£7.49 box.

I oticed it was for 14 unpainted figures, pretty certin in the 70's you got 29 figures in a box.

Not been on here for a while, but i,ve enjoyed some of the old Games/Toys mentioned on this thread,had a lot of the stuff mentioned likes of the Captain Scarlet Dinky Toys, the SPV which was the kinda armoured car thingy where it fired a rocket out the front and the Captain himself shot out the side on a wee seat,Blue in colour,then there was the MSV which was the White one that again opened up side doors to reveal a wee white crate! The the last one was the Red one,which was the wee fast sports car.(Can't remember the name of it?)
Also remember having Joe 90's car which had wings that came out from the side and it also lit up i think?
SHADO Mobile with flip over roof with rocket launcher and of course an Eagle Transporter,top stuff.
Footie game that i also had other than Striker/Subbeuto was Big League,that was the one where you pulled the spring action legs back,you also got bottles of paint and a chart with all the team colours so that you could paint them the teams of your choice and then put the wee number transfers on their backs! (This was always a pain in the arse,even worse if you were opting for Celtic,as their numbers were on their shorts in those days )
Had lots of AIRFIX kits,wasn't into the ships,but loved the Tanks and WW2 era planes,magic! My favourite box of Soddies was the Japanese Infantry, and also the 00 scale WW1 German Infantry with the wee spikes on their helmets!

Don't forget Little Big Man tae,Action Man's wee cousin!

Bit boring (and possibly girly!) but spacehopper and stylophone (Rolf Harris had a lot to answer for back then too!)

Now that looked more realistic than the real thing, which was always made for great adverts when you were a kid

How about Crossfire used to do my finger in trying to fire it too fast.

Top Trumps still love them.

Steve Austin(six million dollar man) with Maskertron with interchangeable faces and the body parts that fired off

happy days could go on for ever.
