ReplyDeleteNot that I know of...
DeleteHi, I'm glad you've made this list. I'm a collector of both Basic Fun and Fun-4-All myself. In fact your last image of the UNO card game is actually from my flickr :D You've posted a few I'm still looking for as well: Simon, Jacks, Rock Em Sock Em Robots, Wheelie, Pet Rock, Transformers collection. Some I can still find on ebay like Simon and some of the transformers, but they seem to be getting harder and harder to find. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteOops I meant Big Wheel, not Wheelie.
Delete:D It was equal parts fun and depressing to put together. Fun because it's all so cool, depressing because there are so many I still need to collect! Hehe. I'm just a sucker for anything miniature - but at least it means the collection takes up less space...
DeleteI am too! lol I love anything miniature :P I think it's mostly because of the cuteness factor, or maybe it's the ability to carry them around wherever you go, either way they are definitely a fun and enjoyable thing to collect. I also follow Museum of Working Miniatures on YouTube (which you link to for the Rebound key chain), his videos are how I found out about some of the more rare items. It's always exciting to meet other collectors online :D
DeleteI love that channel! My bank balance doesn't though - I'd never come across some of the miniatures he had featured before. They went straight on the wishlist. ;) Definitely - it's so great to hear what other people have found!
DeleteOh my a blast from the past, I can remember a few of these
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up to #ToyTuesday
:D Some of them are so cool!
DeleteIt seems everywhere I turn at the moment I am seeing things from my childhood, making the impending big 40 even more apparent! Thanks for linking up #ToyTuesday
ReplyDeleteEvery time I turn on any of the 'vintage' music channels or whatever I feel ancient!
