More 40th stuff,

Post by Thundershot »

Said I wouldn't buy any more..but I kept going back to the Modellers Loft stall to take "one last look" & ended coming home with this:

Oh well..it may of been my last chance, as the range has been discontinued & stocks getting low...if I keep telling myself this, maybe I won't feel so bad about "splashing the cash" :.

Don't know why I feel a little guilty about spending money on toys, it's like a part of me thinks "For heavens sake man, you're 35 & sould have grown up by now!" :oops:

quoting a Furmanism... it never ends (in this case, "it" is toy collecting)

Hi, ODB
They've got a big stall @ the War & Peace show this year, thats where this pair came from..I've also seen them @ the large toy fairs & Memarobillia shows @ the N.E.C.
I've only been to the shop once myself, but it's gotta be the best toy shop I've ever been to in my life!

I forgot about the War and Peace show, especially :oops: as its about 30 minutes away. I love their shop its one of the best for miles round here and a real hark back to the days before Ebay, I think its one of the last big ones in the south east too. I have spent waay too long just looking at stuff in there.

It's like living next to the best museum in the world, and it's the only place I know that still sells carded Action Force figures such as Ironbloods and the Red Shadows.

how much are the carded figs??

Have they still got :shadow:'s in stock?
I seem to remember Mr Tree saying they'd sold out a few months ago, they were selling them a @ a very good price mint carded last time I looked @ the web site.

Got some more 40th AM for my birthday. Got the mountie set with free dog :mrgreen: and the Spec ops kit bag and Bazooka :mrgreen: Just like being a kid again! And I am building up to open them too!
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?
