Hi all . . . sorry it's been a while! It's also been quite a while since I looked at my Vintage Action Men (stuff cluttering up the display cabinets meant I couldn't get inside). Tonight, having moved everything to a new room, I've been looking over the VAM that I had displayed. I was quite horrifie...

. . . just a bump to flag that this event is next Saturday, 4 July at 2pm.

atc was really nice and i bid myself but somehow i managed to stop myself from getting carried away with bidding far more , am i right in saying that 90 quid of fees are to be added to the hammer price of 450 ...so that would make it £540 to the buyer and then the seller has 90 to pay as well That'...

Hi guys and sorry I don't get the chance to get on here much these days! One day, I'll be back! Anyway, an event some of you may be interested in attending: On Saturday, 4 July at 2pm, the Century Theatre at Snibston Discovery Museum (situated in Coalville, Leicestershire - the home of Palitoy), is ...

. . . I know of one ex-Palitoy employee who has passed some items to Vectis. I know he had a lot of MOC and MIB Action Force, as well as Action Man, so perhaps you'll see those in the upcoming auction.

Very nice, but these are really first or test shots and not prototypes as such. They are mouldings from to decide whether a final production figure and it's moulds will work.

Thanks T'shot. It was great to see you there and I really appreciate you making the long trip. Also glad you got to meet Bob and the others afterwards. Bob's presentation was indeed a really excellent guide to Palitoy's history, key toys and the technology that supported it. I shall continue to enco...

Yes T'shot, I'll be there and would be great to see you. It should be interesting and will cover a good overview of both Palitoy's innovations across their toy ranges (from the start as Cascelloid) and the technology that assisted the company. This annual series of talks is generally a low key affai...

Sorry for the delay in sharing this - been busy with life generally recently and back from a trip to Normandy for 70th anniversary of D-Day. This Thursday, 19 June, Bob Brechin will present an illustarted talk on the history of Palitoy - 'The house of constant progress: And introducing some people a...
