Blood for the Baron!

Universal Emporium in Bowness (where I bought two oldschool Starblazer UK comics)

and

Galactic Emporium in Windermere (where I bought a DC Nightwing model).

The Galactic Emporium not only had some previously mentioned reissue Tron figures AND an ORIGINAL Tron Sark figure, all mint on card, but they also had... a carded Action Force Muton for £4.99! Spooky!

It was a long shot, I know, and proved totally fruitless as the toy store in question had closed down and in it's place was a general retailer of seaside related tat, but on the drive over I had high hopes of the old toy shop filled to the brim with MOC Minesweepers for £3.99 and the like. I was going to retire on the strength of my acquired hoard! (or fill the spare room a bit more)

I even got my Zartan from there on a day trip out as a lad!

I did consider asking them if I could go for a rake about their stock room on the off chance, but I decided against it.

False economy in the end, as petrol money spent and the extortionate price of seaside Fish & Chips meant I could have probably bought loads of stuff off Ebay instead! But a fun day none the less.

We just got back from The Lake District again... and the carded Muton is still available in Galactic Emporium in Windermere! He's only a fiver, so give 'em a bell... they're in the phone book . You could even mention I tipped you off . While I was there, I bought my nephew a Star Wars Lott Dodd figure...(or something like that)... one like him is currently being portrayed in the Clone Wars tv show by Star Trek legend George Takei.
