A lovely reminiscence of the childhood opening of a Marx Blue & Grey set and it's resultant life-changing influence . . . and does anyone know where the battlefield cloth/map seen in the pictures can be found, it looks modern?
They've definitely eaten all the pies! What happened to trusses?!!!
Don't know how I've missed this, but the cheeriest man in the hobby has a website! I used to lust after the stuff on Andy's stall in Portabello, long before I knew him to nod to at shows, and this is a very professional website (it's actually on WordPress but you wouldn't know it), I don't know how I've missed it, but I'll add it to the main link-list!
Can't argue with a well-written rant, and Clue was very good!
Some actual toy news, about toys, how boring!
Wait for one-minute-thirty in!
About Me
- Hugh Walter
- No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
- I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.
