All I want for Christmas is.....

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to LEMMY!!!
That said let's move onto some great Christmas ideas for your special Motorheadbanger.

records are ALWAYS a great idea. but this post isn't about that
 this is all about everyone's favorite Christmas gift, TOYS!! (Motorhead toys, that is...)

First of all.

 We have the new Bomber Model Kit!!!

You canfind it from any on-line model or hobby shop for about $25.00

And it is WICKED COOL!!!

NEXT

From KnuckleBonz, 'Rock Icon" series of high end collectibles, Lemmy Kilmister in all his glory. This is the 2013 version (or Lemmy I)
(I didn't say these were all NEW, however there's nothing wrong with making them new to YOU!) 

The Lemmy II Motorhead Rock Icons statue is a limited-edition-collectible. Created by KnuckleBonz, This statue of Lemmy is hand-painted and numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity printed on the base of each collectible statue. Only 3000 are created.

And... Just became available is the LEMMY III!!!

(With the coolest pose ever!)

EACH one of these, if you can find them, (they ARE limited to 1500 worldwide each) will cost you north of $150.00 However in most cases, you will pay more since the first 2 are no longer available, 

unless you can find them on the secondary market...

This is a pretty cool bust. It's a full 3D  replica of the "Warpig''

Approximate dimensions

H: 6.50" W: 6.10" Weight 1.76 lbs.

Material: Resin

about $50/60.00

However, not ll of us can afford $150-$250 for a mini staute...Here's a few other options. 

Drastic Plastic, in addition to releasing re-issues of Motorhead LP's, has come out with a LEMMY bobble head! 

Now, lately the demand for bobble heads have been growing, you can find a  LEE VING, TESCO VEE, MILO, HENRY ROLLINS even a G.G. ALLIN version of the popular toy. 

You can get yours for about $50 or less...

Next

I'm sure you've seen this little guy everywhere. It's all over ebay, Amazon, and just about everywhere else that you can buy Motorhead memorabilia. 

You can get yours for about $10.00 ppd. If you keep your eyes open. 

There's even a gold variant!!!

Next up...

This is an interesting little piece. Supposedly designed by Lemmy, and available,

in fact, here's the description:

"For the first time EVER, Motorhead's Iconic Warpig is brought to life in this stunning and intricately detailed statue. Constructed of the highest quality ABS/PVC, the fierce Warpig mounts to the top of it's Aztec/Mayan-eque base; designed by the legendary Lemmy Kilmister himself. This statue features the Warpig's intricate detail as it's never been produced before, taking in to account the smallest details. From the iron cross pendant, the metal chains with trophy skull and tooth to the massive menacing tusks and stunning red eyes - No Detail Was Spared! Crowned with the world famous Motorhead logo. Packaged in a high-quality matte finish 3-window display box, this piece is a must have!'

You can find it for about $30-40.00

Finally..

And then there's this guy, (who I'm sure is unlicensed), but we''l look at 'im anyway.

I've never known what his fellow name is, it just says ''Warpig"

But there's got to be some story behind him. The only thing I know is i remember him being on a bunch of bootleg merchandise way back in the day. (t- shirts, patches etc.)

he's about $15.00 and he's got a glow in the dark variant.

That's all for now ... Happy hunting and MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS!!!

RARE Norwegian "Press Box / Ace of Spades" Promo Box 1981

MOTORHEAD Ace of Spades 1981 Promotion Box made for Norway only. Extremely rare. They said it was made "500" copies that were given to Radio, Tv, and Magazines in Norway. Those who got the box opened them and gave out the items at the time so there are only a few complete copies left.
 Box Contains: Autographs of LEMMY, PHILTHY and EDDIE on the inside of the cover, Ace of Spades record, St Valentines Day Masacre maxi 10", Concert video and Interview Cassette Tape. 2 Promotion photos, Promo Slides for light show. Beer can with Motorhead sticker on, Sweater with MOTORHEAD logo and reads "Europe 1981", a copy of Sounds magazine with Lemmy as sex symbol of the year. Papers from record label: A card with history on back side, Chart list, News, Discography, Press tour Europe, Interview on paper and papers translated to Norwegian. 

Any one who finds  me one of these will be hansomely rewareded.

This copy sold in Sept. 2011.

Another was listed  iin 2014 on ebay for $1400, 

apparently the exact same bos was listed in 2015 was one listed on ebay, listed with the "buy it now" option for $1500.again it was listed at $1100 , but still did not sell.

The content in these boxes varies, apparently Bronze tended to put in whatever was lying around. The front cover of the box is black with the Motorhead logo in silver. Here is an example of the content in one box: NSTH LP, European tour '81 Sweatshirt, 3 b+w press photos , a biography & press release plus some photocopied reviews, an interview tape, and two colour slides from AOS LP. Another copy had 7 pages interview, 3 pages biography, 1 page discography, interview cassette, 2 black and white photos, oversized playing card, 2 color slides, the 1st video release, AOS lp and St Valentine's 10" I've heard others had the 1st video release, and/or a tin of Motorhead beer (!) in them, some had the AOS LP instead of the NSTH LP, and not all had the Sweatshirt, the slides or the tape. I suppose they were distributed not only in UK but also outside of the UK. It would be interesting to know how many that were made. A few of them most likely have been split and all that remains is the box itself.In February 2010 Ketil Svendsen wrote about his copy and showed a lot of pictures. He found it in a basement based second hand record store in the early 90s. It included everything except for the beer can. Ketil thinks that his box stems from Motorheads February 23rd 1981 visit to Oslo, as it contains some press information in Norwegian. In Norway promoter Arne “Blå ballong” Bendixen was the licensee of Bronze. He also lists the complete content: 1 Overkill LP 1 Bomber LP 1 Ace of Spades LP 1 St Valentines Day Massacre 10? EP 1 black Sweat-shirt, with discrete silver logo and “Europe 1981?. Size “S”. 2 B/W photos 190×200 mm, both Ace of Spades themed 2 large format colour slides, one Ace of Spades themed, one casual 1 over-sized Ace of Spades playing card, 210×135 mm, silver cardboard, with band biography on the flip side. 1 stenciled translation of above into norwegian. Light yellow paper. 1 stenciled discography, singles and albums, per country. White paper. 1 Bronze official “NEWS” sheet: “stop press”, stating “St Valentines Day Massacre” had reached #15 in the UK top 75 singles chart. 1 press info sheet, 2 pages, on the purpose of the “Motorhead Week” promo campaign the last half of february 1980. 1 press info sheet on chart positions 1 VHS promo video, with the usual round-up of lip-sync’d extravaganza. Black cover with silver logo. 1 interview cassette, with all questions silenced out, ready for any local “interviewer’s” 15 minutes of glory. Lemmy jokes about Rockin’ Vickers and mentions Hawkwind, and how he “wanted to be the MC5?. Black cover with silver logo. 1 14 stenciled pages of transcribed interview from above cassette. 1 issue of UK music paper SOUNDS, dated February 21 1981. 1 issue of Norwegian music paper Nye Takter, dated March 18 1981 – post campaign. The two paged press info sheet give some clue to both the campaign and the content of this box: The promotion dates that made up “Motorhead Week” were February 17th to 27th, starting with Brussels, two days in Barcelona, Oslo/Stockholm, Hamburg/Munich, two days in Madrid and finally Milan. Climate refugees? They certainly didn’t waste any time where the sun didn’t shine. The 3rd of March they were off on a sixteen day French tour. According to the press info sheet, the following items were to be found - but the content seem to have varied: The “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre” EP (recorded with Girlschool) A V.H.S. video featuring Motorhead in concert A Motorhead interview cassette A Motorhead Sweat-shirt Colour and black & white photos of the band A Biography on the reverse of a 12 inch square “Ace of Spades” playing card A Discography with details of British single and LP chart success A can of Motorhead beer – Carlsberg Special Brew In September 2011 another copy was sold on German Ebay. The content was listed as "LP Ace of Spades , 10" Motörhead/Girlschool : St. Valentines Day Massacre , Zeitung "Sounds" vom 21. Februar 1981 , einige Seiten Bronze-info zu Motörhead , grosse Spielkarte mit Logo , 2 grosse Motörhead-Fotos , 2 Dias mit Bandfoto , VHS-Kassette Live 1981 und eine Audio-Kassette mit Interview 1981".
