[QUOTE="ace, post: 325262, member: 5300"] Hi there just my thoughts on this , Jim never really did get much form the factory, it did go very quickly and was sold to the people that Palitoy worked with so these retailers got most of the interesting stuff. Geoff's toys to name one that did clear alot trot eh factory , Jim did not buy from him so did not have a good relationship with the owner , i did and i did get stuff that now people would be amazed about but back then it was out there and you came across it here and there, there was a shop just outside of Chestnut that was cleared shuttles at £15 each they sold them to me for £25 each , they came in packing cases of 2 and i bought x 40 of them and had to make many trips in an estate car to get them and then i had to store them :-0 i think i should them for £45 each which was £10 less than the RRP :-) the good old days :-) One thing Jim did not get his 12in Empire box flat prototypes from the UK they came from the US I was responsible for selling of any of the surplus toys and prototypes from Bethnal Green museum of childhood, i also cleared there Action Man and Gi Joe / Action force. The first sale had to be public and was held at Wolsey Hall at chestnut where i used to run my Sci-if fairs at grundy Park , after prices were established i was able to buy more at that price , i am a collector and i did buy things for my self which i still have today.
