Blood for the Baron!

"D, my good man, bring around the Rolls, will you? I fancy a sojourn to Leicester."

SteveyD being or or on the Baronial radar ?

i might be able to aim the car at head office seeing as i live 15 mins away i might even take my camera do you think they would be pissed if i dragged my moc collection in with me and set my own action force stall up as its going to be way down the pecking order with action man and star wars and pippa dolls ive seen what they have in the archieves at snibston !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somebody who goes, please, please post pictures if you are allowed to take them!

i would have to second that motion, i would love to see the display.

a little (weeny) bit more info from the Leicester Mercury

http://communitynewsleicestermercury.bl ... litoy.html

and a teeny-tiny (tears) bit here (though frustratingly their link to the full article doesn't currently work, but I have emailed them about it)

Still don't know how much Action Force is on display. I'm sure that the Records Office have a boxed Escape Armour amongst their collection of Palitoy as I've seen it pictured. It may be that the display focuses more on the origins of the factory and other toys produced there.

Quite probable that any AF stuff at this exhibition will be stuff moved over from the permanent display at Snibston Discovery Park

Still, if you're in or near Leicester, I would think it would be worth a visit

here's a link to the councils AF/AM collection page

ETA: there had been a Palitoy exhibition at Donington Le Heath Manor House back in the summer - I wonder if it will be the same items?

Love the new Avatar Annie! I also found yesterdays offering from Stormtroopers 365 mildly chucklesome:-

I hope its very interesting for those that go although I can't figure out why they have 2 shots of the Isle of Mann on the website? Ironblood have'nt you lot got colour cameras yet?

Go to your room young man you have lost your pc privileges for the rest of the night. Why I oughtta!!!

I e-mailed the Heritgae Council asking for more ainformation and offering to promote the exhibition through the site... f*ck all response.
