1978 Legoland Town Promotional Sticker
Another Classic LEGO Sticker A while ago I showcased a very cool vintage Lego Classic Space promotional item, a large sticker with a couple of space mini-figs and a great space scene. It seems there was a sister piece to that item, a large Legoland Town sticker promoting the various Lego Collector Packs available at…
Kenbrite Playmobil / Pocket People Update
Kenbrite Playmobil / Pocket People Update I’ve been remiss in not posting about the wonderful new third edition of Axel Hennel’s Playmobil Collector book. This great book is an extraordinarily comprehensive reference guide to Playmobil worldwide, containing 4500 images over 650 pages. This edition has an expanded Australian Kenbrite section, as well as increased coverage…
Star Wars Ice Cream Update
More Ice-Creams! Long time readers of this blog will know that licenced ice-cream items, and Star Wars in particular, are my favourite vintage items.

Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Playmobil Promotion
Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Playmobil Promotion I found an interesting photo showing a 1977 box of Kellogg’s Australia Corn Flakes, with a Kenbrite Pocket People (Playmobil) mail-in offer. It appears that you could send in the coupon (and 50c) to receive a Playmobil figure. Does anyone have an example of this box? I know there are…
Indiana Jones Kelloggs Premiums
Indy Coco-Pops Premiums A few weeks ago I featured the Indiana Jones Coco Pops box from the Temple of Doom tie-in. Inside each box was a card premium which broke apart to reveal two picture cards from the movie, one photo and one sketch jigsaw piece. The same design was used for the Kellogs Ewok…
