Someone chatting sh*t??!! On this forum??!! Never!!
Great haul though! I've even become midly aroused looking at it. Makes you wonder if there's another similar treasure trove in a toy shop that time forgot.

Awesome collection there! Back when I first started collecting back in the early-90s you would quite often meet people at toy fairs that would be selling of boxes of stuff they had had from when they owned toy shops and I just wish I had bought more. I would often pick up carded figures for only a £1 each, not just series 1 and 2 stuff but also carded cobra officers etc. It was the Star Wars stuff that was getting all the attention so you could get some real bargains from other toy lines. Ah, those were the days ...

Some incredible photos there Andy!
You have so much stuff!
My favourite is the cased Series 1 Headquarters playset, I'd like one of those!
2 things:
How do you display all this? It must take up so much room? It would be such a waste to have all this in boxes in an attic somewhere...
And, I find it very unusual that you keep multiples of things, like 5 sets of twins, etc. Having 1 of everything is an enormous amount of toys on its own, but 4 or 5 of things seems a bit crazy. And that's crazy from me, who is a bit OCD-nuts to begin with!

My favourite is the Destro on a Cobra Infantry card. Got to love those miscards - you can just imagine it being left on the Toy Shop shelf by loads of kids over the years saying "but it's Destro, not a Cobra Trooper". And I guess that's how it ended up MOC still.
But then again, I'm a bit funny like that.
Dont want to sell it do you?
