eBay watch: Verner Panton Peacock Chair – Habitat limited reissue

Posted on 17th March 2011 | Leave a comment

Yes, I know we've featured this before, but the Habitat reissue of the Verner Panton Peacock Chair rarely comes up, so if well worth another mention.

If you missed it last time we featured it, the Peacock Chair dates back to 1969, with a design inspired by a peacock's tail. It's a stunning, attention-grabbing design, even as a reissue.

This reissue dates from 1999, when it was reissued in limited numbers and discontinued in less than a year. 12 years on and it has become a collector's piece in its own right. Condition is described as 'good' and has been 'carefully looked after'. Want it? Bidding is currently at £150.

Ritual by David Pinner – the book that inspired the Wicker Man movie reprinted

Posted on 13th March 2011 | 1 Comment

Not an exact template for the movie, Ritual by David Pinner was, however, the book that inspired the movie – and it is getting a reprint in the very near future.

Rather than being set in the Scottish highlands, this 1967 novel is set in Cornwall, with police officer, David Hanlin asked to investigate the murder of a local child. Whilst there, he's subjected to mental trickery, seduction, ancient religious practices and sacrificial rituals. Sound familiar?

The rights to the book were obtained for the Wicker Man movie a few years later, with a fairly minimal rewrite creating the ultimate movie cult classic. Original copies go for silly money, so the £6.39 price tag for the new version, which comes with original cover artwork and a new forward by Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley, looks a serious bargain. Alternatively, a hardback version sells for £9.09.

Adidas Beckenbauer trainers back in white and Columbia blue finish

Posted on 5th March 2011 | Leave a comment

There was a reissue late last year, but the latest version of the classic Adidas Beckenbauer trainers (aka the Beckenbauer Allround) is definitely one for the summer months.

As you probably know, the Beckenbauer is named after the legendary Franz, designed back in 1982 as an all-round football and training shoe, before gaining added popularity as a casual and terrace classic.

This is a superb reissue in white with 'Columbia blue' detailing from the archives, with a leather upper and high impact training outsole, all finished off with gold branding and the Adidas in green on that sole. £59 is the pre-order price.

Adidas Grand Slam trainers reissued in green canvas

Posted on 2nd March 2011 | 1 Comment

It's a reissue of the Adidas Grand Slam trainers, although the colour and construction might be slightly controversial.

First seen in 1981, the Grand Slam is back in what's called a 'reverse' colourway, as well as featuring a canvas upper. I suspect we might have lost a few of you already. For those still in, the features and shape are generally intact, but with gold (not real gold obviously) used for the pegs in the sole.

The canvas upper comes in a 'twilight green' and the reissue is described as 'highly limited'. Pre-orders now being taken, £85 is the price.
