Originally I used to go on a PW ticket,
that year I went in my capacity as head of toys at an Internet auction
drop-shop outfit (I was head of fuck-all and least said - soonest forgotten,
but I did manage to get the junior staff their holiday and sick benefits!), and
a few years ago I went as someone else when they sent me the wrong pass (I hope
he also went - as me!), last year I snuck in on Peter's pass again!
But this year I will be representing the Small
Scale World's Press Office! Oh-yes . . . we have a press officer now - it's me,
that's why your emails are never answered on time; Perhaps I should do a FUC's page; Frequently
Un-answered Correspondence!
Titan
Toys' corporate company hyperbole aside (they look
like many other ranges of rack-toys going back to the sixties, even to the
boy/girl/neutral colour-coding), they seem to be plugging a new display-rack
(dollar tree) which has been grafted to an office-chair!
It's a low-res three-colour image, but we
can see . . .
. . . clockwise from top left; mini trains
(sans track, most of this type of rack toy give you a circle or oval of track?)*;
The Supreme/SP Toys-supplied sets we looked at here;
a substantial-looking (for a rack-toy) stunt cycle with jump and a set of those
larger farm animals with their peculiar purple-browns and mauve-greys which are
starting to become a common part of mixed-lots and charity-shop bags. I didn't
crop-out the lizard as he's obvious in the previous image.
* As their (Titan's) own, near contemporary, Cargo Express Train Set did!
