B is for Box . . . Ticked!

A quick one this morning, previously seen in Plastic Warrior magazine where I hoped it was the one Peter Cole remembered from his time there, a previous iteration shown in the same mag' having had artwork he didn't recognise.

Galt were primarily suppliers of educational toys, books, learning aids and junior school/infant-sized furniture, and would change their range graphics from time to time hence different versions of this set, which is obviously wholesaling a handful of Britains animals.

I actually had a really nice mid-80's Galt catalogue (thick as a Thomason Local!) but failed to follow the golden rule; 'Never lend a book you wouldn't want to lose', lending it to the wife of a client who was planning a bedroom for her kid . . . never saw it again!

What I do remember of it was that you could get a Lego City airport, with two big airliners and several other aircraft along with numerous vehicles and buildings, with several-dozen mini-figures for a price which was less than half the High Street price for a similar set, or similar quantity of 'elements' (as Lego pretentiously call their pieces!), not that the set concerned was in the High Street catalogues, it wasn't!
