Wars sale, more on which later/next week), however they had previously
advertised a Train Sale for the 26th (Friday) a while ago, and Collectors Gazette are listing sales on
the 24th, 25th AND 26th, so check with Vectis
to see what's what, it's not my job!
24th April
"A
long-standing customer of Vectis Auctions has chosen the company to offer the
first part of his collection on the 24th of April. Part one comprises a
thinning down of his collection, with Simon retaining a core to display at
home. The 618 Lots include many interesting Regular wheels and Superfast
variations for the dedicated collector, along with entry level estimates for
groups of models. Something for everyone! Highlights include a rare Ford
Galaxie police car, a Ford Fairlaine station wagon, a Ford Heavy Wreck Truck
and a Cadillac sixty special."
25th April
(maybe?)
General Toy sale?
26th April
(maybe?)
Model railway/train sale?

Other News
Let's parler Franglaise: Le
webesiete Vichy l'et downe pour les cauntretemps unfortunate! Or something (it
wasn't clear in Google translate?), but is appears a fight or some verbal
pushing led to virtual fisticuffs and tziegheil'44 (a good year for the left)
has shut the site down until everyone calms down or stops crying. I bet I can name
the three most likely to have been involved and further bet at least one of
them was Banzai's makeitup's-man, but
I sadly missed the whole thing!
Strangely - given one of his lieutenants
(and right-hand mouse) was almost certainly involved, TJF has remained remarkably
silent on the matter, no news flash from the PSTSM headquarters' for us! But then,
they are probably busy working on all those reports they announced with a
flourish in January as forthcoming from the Toy Fairs in Nuremburg, New York,
Nanjing . . . Nantwich . . . Noseby-on-the-Nase?
It's funny, if PSR goes down (even with forewarning), there's a rending of
garments and ger'nashing of teeth on all the other main platforms, likewise if HäT's ETS
goes down, you can hear the lamentation in Mongolia, but Vichy goes down and
this; that wot you is reading, here, now, is it! There's a lesson there for all
of us!

H is for How They Come In
Picked-up a Waddington's board game and an Epixx
figure which will both be separately posted sometime, but in the meantime a
couple of bits to show you . . .
More dinorasers, these double-up as pencil
tops and came from one of the card shops, but I can't remember which one, I
know it wasn't Clinton's or Birthdays, so it's one of the others!
And they were also gathered several weeks ago but missed that week's post!
This was a charity-shop purchase,
originating in the pinky-purple zone of toy stores. One of several I now have,
I'll Blog them all together one day when I'm feeling particularly mean! But the
quite reasonable 54/56mm PVC-like figures set this one apart! No idea on
maker/brand, but when I do blog them I'll have all the old Argos/Index/TRU catalogues to guide me!
