Dose anyone remember a vintage figure shop in Coventry?

If you are from Coventry and want a star wars figure from Coventry then give me a shout.

I've recently been given a childhood collection from Coventry.

What was your first figure or favourite figure?

If i have a duplicate then im happy to share the love and pass it on free of charge

Can't guarantee what shop it will have come from!

Blimey had forgotten about this post

Paul, do you not remember Barnbys ? Possibly the greatest toy shop of all time !

Barnaby's came up in a recent conversation with a childhood friend.
We were on the bus to a Cov game and went past the old intershop building, which housed Goldie Toys.
My mate immediatley mentioned Barnaby's as being his favourite toy shop.
I think it was located on the arcade just off the Bull Yard Shopping Precient, just to the left of the photography shop in the last photo.
Hope some of these pics stir up a few memories.

I've got a lot of duplicates. I can easily give them away.
The aim is to reignite childhood memories by giving someone a relevant figure from Coventry.

EG Chewbacca was my first ever figure (i still have him).

So i was hoping Cov people were going to reply with my first ever figure was XXX and I would then give them it from a Coventry collection.

or i never got XXX figure as a child

My first was Stormtrooper, as for my Fave, thats a tough one, I have so many, I do love the bounty hunters, they were so different and probably IG88 because he was kn the first that came with 2 weapons.
