There's nothing quite like having a browse round real items... I can look at modern toys all day online (and often do, it's quite quiet here at the moment) but going to a toyshop is another matter altogether; much more exciting to be able to handle the goods.

The best shops/stalls are the ones that have boxes of "junk"; a good rummage is the best fun of all, especially when you find a prize (this is why I love Memorabilia so much)

I hear that some chap has opened a collectors' shop in Fordingbridge. I think we might be going to have a look round it some time, but I don't hold out much hope. I believe he mainly retails My Little Ponies...

Gotta agree with ya there Annie, that's why I love going to car boot & old fashioned jumble sales...loads of boxes to rummage through.

The big toy fairs the N.E.C hold are a true Mecca for Junk boxes full of broken stuff...hardly any but just perfect for any one, like myself, who collects toys in general
