I just bought a big yellow teapot from a car boot sale for 20p- it has no people or furniture though

Go on, Marne. Treat yourself.

GreatHauntieWurly · 18/10/2007 17:59

i had one of those and I had a big yellow teapot.

i had this when i was 4, brings back memories i didn't think i had remembered!

I have bought a few vintage fisher price bits at car boots and sold one or two on Ebay...example, 1971 FP plane, bought 50p. sold £15!! The others I have kept.

You do have to be really careful though...I have a Matchbox boot that is a school inside, and can't shift it at all!

My mum is kicking herself that she gave all our My Little Ponies to the charity shop..

Sixofone - at least your mum remembered that she gave thems away - mine came round a couple of months ago brandishing a "Woman's Weekly" with a picture of a Magic Roundabout car in so-so condition that was worth £500 saying I should get mine and sell it - to which I pointed out that she gave all my toy cars to my cousin many years ago... !

I had the Weebles Playground and loved it sooooooo much.

toys were much simpler in the old days.

sandcastles · 06/11/2007 11:26

I loved this

lilolilmanchester · 06/11/2007 11:27

You lot are make me feel so old! I remember my little cousins having the toys you're talking about and feeling very jealous that they weren't around when I was young enough for them!

sandcastles · 06/11/2007 11:30

Loved the Webbles, dd has some, not the same you know!

Charlee · 06/11/2007 11:30

My niece has the yellow tea pot, i loved mine when i was a child.

hotcrossbunny · 06/11/2007 11:42

sandcastles - I had a little professor too. I loved it! I'm sure it must have been fabulous for mental arithmnetic, but I just loved playing with it.

lullabyloo · 06/11/2007 11:49

I have bought back all my old fisher price toys for ds
my mother gave all my things away to school fetes

my favourites were snoopy dog on a lead & the record player and the london bridge/frere jaques wind up television.
ds loves the fisher price garage,farm,house,hospital,jack in a box

the happiness I feel seeing these things again is ridiculous

sandcastles · 06/11/2007 12:29

hotx...I used to hide it under my covers & play with it when I was supoosed to be asleep...

What memories!

hotcrossbunny · 06/11/2007 14:53

Oh yes! Me too!

BuckBuckMcFate · 06/11/2007 15:01

I loved the Palitoy green Treehouse when I was little and tried to get one on ebay - it ended up going for £90!! And not to me

EveryRose · 07/11/2007 23:23
