Hi, Jim. Is the Invaders DVD the original Quinn Martin production?

Where do I start. Had the usual blu ray dvd film, classic TV series dvd , the odd box of chocolates, a collectable Neca Stephen King IT horror figure, and a very cool signed David Jason Only Fools & Horses 3x bobblehead figure set No1 of 1000. Yes, I actually had the first one released. Will be worth tons in the future. But it gets better. I had bought for me a huge amount of Beano & Dandy annuals in spectacular condition from the 1950s to the 70s. Took me 4 hours to open them all. Will upload pics asap. 8)

Hi SID. Happy Christmas by the way. :cheers:

Yeah, 4 hours. Started at 12pm and finished at 3pm. Had to treat each present with kitten gloves not to damage the annuals.

I had series 1 & 2 of the Fall Guy. And the complete series of Planet of the Apes & Logan's Run. Love those 1970s shows.

Also, I thought I'd mention what annuals I received. Had for Christmas the entire run of 1950s & 1960s Dandy annuals. Condition amazing, especially the laminated annuals. 99.9% have perfect spines, are clean and unclipped.

I had Beano annuals from 1953 to 1959. I only need years 1950 , 51 & 52 to complete that run too. And I was bought the entire run of 1960s Beano annuals and all are in fantastic condition too.

Got also nearly all of the 1970s run of Beano annuals apart from two. And have two Dennis the Menace annuals from 1960 & 66. I will post some images very soon. So watch this space. :)

Happy Christmas to you all
I got the Gerry Anderson Stingray comic anthology vol 1 and the life size replica stingray gun, plus a large number of DC graphic novels. Also as getting older and eyesight not what is once was I upgraded my iPad to a 13 “ model. Plus I hope to get in the new year a copy of the Book Palace new book on the Alan Class comics.( if anyone has got it for Xmas is it any good).

Not sure SID? As you know, I largely concentrate on collecting comics & art. Although those annuals are from my childhood though. Might complete the run. Still thinking about it. Space is an issue. Not sure where to put the ones I had on the 25th?

Still can't process what I got jim224. Brother must have spent hundreds. Promise to upload some pics soon. Got to buy some collector bags and bins to store them all safely first.

Re dvds: Yeah, loved those series as a kid. Also used to watch The Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew Mysteries too. So cool. And yes I do have Fantastic Journey in my collection. Got about 4000 dvds. It's not have I got it but where have I put it lol. :lol:
