Angry Dad Tells Kids Off Before Setting Fire To Their Toys

[Sundance]

hey! that ad's got a as an !!!!

[Red Laser]

I don't remember that advert for the toys but I remember one for Battle Action Force it had Quarrel featured in it who I thought was male back then but I was only about 6 or so at the time.

[Dave Tree]

it seems the Toy shops of my childhood have all gone.

yeah the only one near me still running is The Entertainer in Salisbury, which back in the day was a Toymaster. I got my Sealion and Hovercraft from there. Pretty much everywhere else has biten the dust.

So in terms of trying to look up some old stuff, we got;
Space Playpeople
Matchbox Parasites (that's going to be tough!!!)
Transformers

any others?

Was this a TV ad? Dave, can I change my request?

Doesn't ring any bells, but it's possible? I know there were occasionally co-operative advertising between Palitoy and Look In for example, but not aware of any with Action Force.

Change your request? Ooooooooh go on then, the response hasn't been overwhelming, so may as well bump up the list

You boys talking in code again??

[The Baron]

No, Steve. What's probably happened is that you've either a) not read the previous conversation or b) forgotten to take your medicataion and subsequently forgotten everything else or c) both.

No, Steve. What's probably happened is that you've either a) not read the previous conversation or b) forgotten to take your medicataion and subsequently forgotten everything else or c) both.

Or, (D) taken someone elses medication, and read the posts backwards.

Kraken Wakes, did you ever take care of the buying for the outlet?
Is membership worth the money? I've been thinking of becoming an Associate member, so I can benefit from group buying without taking on the Toymaster brand itself, but the fees are quite high and I don't know if what I save will be more than the fees. Do you know if the wholesale is a lot better than what was offered direct?


In terms of 'back in the day' toys then, everyone pick their favourite non-AF toyline, one each, and I'll try dig out some toy catalogue references for you. It will take a day or so with what I have to hand, but should be a good trip down memory lane for everyone.

(should probably get moved to Random now too)

Dave.
