[QUOTE="ScruffyLookingNH, post: 456579, member: 6563"] A (very) recent purchase caused me to look into a toy shop called Dominos in Leicester. It sounds like it was an absolutely amazing toyshop in it's day. Any forum members (looking at you, Laurence Dyer!) remember it or been there? Trying to get in touch with Steve Sansom who took it over from his father, Leonard, in the later 90s. It went from being named the best independent toy retailer in Britain in 2011 to full closure in 2013. It opened up again in Fenwicks in Leicester in Feb 2015 but within 3 months closed it's doors again. Another victim of the high street collapse it seems. A brief new report on it: http://www.itv.com/news/central/story/2013-09-09/administration-for-dominoes-toys/ The price label that prompted the interest. It must have been sold within the first year of trading as they didn't open their doors until 1983: [ATTACH type="full" alt="dominoes.JPG"]31873._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
