Eds, you should make the trip!

Dave's shop alone is fantastic! I was there a hour and a half today, just looking through all the stuff - there's LOADS - AF, SW, He-Man, Thundercats, Transformers, MASK, Action Man, Smurfs, Ghostbusters, Superheroes, Bucks Rogers, Dukes of Hazard, Happy Days, Playmobil, etc, etc. Plus BMX's, Choppers, '80's computers and arcade machines....

There are 3 other vintage toy shops in Cardiff as well, though not as good.

I should work for the Cardiff Tourist Office.........

I may never leave!! I'll let you know when we've a free weekend and we'll make our way over.

If anyone spots Eve Myles, please could they send her my way?

Nope, Paul. Mantenna was an individual, and the comic relief of the Horde. Everytime he failed on a mission, Hordak made him fall from a trapdoor (into a moat, I guess).

The Evil Horde army-builder was the Horde Trooper (looks like an Stormtrooper, save for the helmet and the Horde insignia).

Hi D.A.
I think Paul was talking about the quantity of figures released or lack of interest by buyers when it was 1st sold, rather than a character type or trait.

Over here, in Europe (well the U.K. any way) is a cheap toy to find due to either overprodution or lack of sales back in the 80's

Awwwwwwwww - Pauli, Pauli, Pauli- look at what you've gone and done now!! Jumped straight from the top of that slippery slope! And possibly pushed me off on your way too!!! Lovely items! Lovely!

Eds, if you need a guided tour around Cardiff's vintage toy emporiums let me know and I'll happily oblige!

Whoops, I didn't know that. Sorry.
