Chutes Away! was a pretty cool game back in the day. You had to look through the little scope and drop your guys on the rotating base.

Caught another episode of Toy Hunter and he found one of these. It is the Navarone playset. It was pretty bad ass as far as plastic green army men go. Many plastic Germans died trying to defend it, but the US Forces were too much for them. The Germans probably shouldn't have put the garage door at the base of the mountain. The US just drove a tank right through it every time.

While I was feeling nostalgic for stuff I once had that is now long gone, I started to regret never buying the POTF2 or OTC 12" Boba Fett. I had the original back in the day. He was the only 12" Star Wars toy I had. The POTF2 version goes for around $30, so maybe I'll pick one up eventually.

Had some luck this year at the flea market.

A earlier this year I found the green 6-wheeled ranger vehicle from the Fisher Price Adventure People line for $1. The same day someone else had a figure from the same line, also got it for $1.

About a month or so ago, I remembered a mini police car toy I had. Unfortunately, I didn't remember what it was called so I had no luck googling it. I went to the flea market yesterday and just happened to stumble upon one for $5. It turns out it was part of Mattel's mini hot wheels line called Zowee from the early 70s. I just can't believe I found one by accident.

The 6 year old me would be happy.

That's pretty awesome - I'm sure we had that same little car but it was beat to ratshit.
