A STRANGE CHANGE TOY
'THE LOST WORLD'
Circa 1967-68
for sale
This is an original Strange Change Toy 'The Lost World' from the late '60's. Comes in original box. There is one yellow figure missing, but an extra green one (originally had 16, 4 of each color). The toy also does not have the paper forest / map. The plastic mountain has the typical, obligatory cracks / splits, but still very intact. The youngster who owned this did 'improve' it to their liking by detailing the crevices with a black marker (can be removed with Naptha, if you have the time). The colors on all the figures are great. The green ones are still VERY green and have not turned brown and all the characters still also have lots of detail in them, both of which mean that they were probably only made the one time or two and not repeatedly 're-molded'. The original blue tweezers also included. The 'Time Machine' / Compression Chamber in like NEW condition and still gets hot. The box is in fairly good shape with normal wear. No major tears. Marked as stock number 4581 and has it's original price sticker of $7.99 still on it. We have not tried to heat up one of the figures and 'melt' them back down. We'll leave that up to you.

TALKING COMMAND CONSOLE
no. 5157
Circa 1968
for sale
Mattel's Talking Command Console set. Not perfect, but could be 'married' with another set to improve your collection. Case in very good condition. Talking mechanism needs work and it's housing has been detached from case in an attempt to repair. We did not go far with the attempt. Both 'captains chairs' still intact with the strings. Case hinge, latch and handle still intact as is clear window. Two figures included. Figure #1 has it's face 'chewed' a bit (see photos). It is has a copyright of 1965 on the back and was made in Hong Kong. It's arms and legs appear to have broken internal frame wires as they don't really stay in place when manipulated. Figure #2 (slightly larger head and more tan) appears to have a copyright of 1955 (although I thought these started around 1965). Anyway it's arms and legs stay in place when positioned. There are minor differences in the space suits of the two figures (again see photos above). That's about all the info we have. Selling as-is.

PARKER BROTHERS
STOP THIEF
ELECTRONIC COPS AND ROBBERS GAME
no. 3500
Circa 1979
for sale
Excellent condition 'Stop Thief' game from Parker Brothers. 100% complete! It's not often that we get a game that's not missing at least one part. Has seen very little use as all the accessories, cards and money is in great shape. The only issue is some clear packing tape that had been used to hold the box display lid closed and a 1.5' x .5' 'tape tear' on the box display lid (see photo collage). Electronic handheld 'Crime Scanner' in working condition also with no current or past corrosion in 9-volt battery compartment. If you're looking for a clean example of 'Stop-Thief' then here you go.

In Football / Basketball box, but has Hockey / Baseball overlay playing surface. Utilizes 4x AA batteries. Does not appear to have ever been used as it still has the foam shipping restraint inside. Lights up when fresh batteries are installed. Does not have any instructions or other paper work included. We're unsure of the operation, but if you're looking at this you probably already know how it works.

POWER-PACK '8'
1/32 SCALE ROAD RACE
SLOT CAR SET
for sale
This is an original late 60's Eldon Slot car set in 'as-found' condition. It appears to be at least 95% complete. Maybe a guard rail missing, the starting / finish flags and holder, and no instructions, but the rest is 'as pictured'. The Ferrari P-3 (#1351-12) and Porsche Carrera (#1351-11) racer bodies have the mounting flanges damaged and these need to be repaired and like most vintage slot cars the rubber tires need to be re-conditioned or replaced for better traction. Both car motors run great and the pick-up shoe / contacts are both there and also function fine. The original 6-V DC transformer, track connector and controllers also in working order. All track connectors link up. Set also includes Collector Cars catalog, Sticker sheet and original car Decal sheet. Original box has the names Jim and Charley written on it (see photos), but in other wise great condition. This would make a great candidate to restore with only a slight amount of effort (again body mounting flanges and new rear tires), to marry to another set or just to put on a shelf. Everything included in photos.
