Congratulations on the promotion, Colin :D and a big slap on the back for the vintage yuletide haul- your family and friends know you only too well :wink: good to see!

Come on Jason, spill the beans :wink:

Couldn't be more perfect: all I had hoped for, and more: Thank you Secret Santa, whoever you are... By the way, perhaps it's not the 'done thing', but do we get to find out who are our Secret Santas? I'd like to thank them for providing such a wonderful gift. Takes me right back to Christmas...

Chaps, perhaps we should re-enlist the expertise of one Mr Auggie Ben Doggie? I have an amateur archaeological background, and I would be more than happy to assist aforementioned fellow; scouring the original Coalville site in order to assist in the authentication of original, factory sourced...

I'll second that, Richard :wink: Whaddya say, Andy?

I'll echo that, Jez (even though I haven't been to a Farthest From yet!)... I'm there (come hell or high water) for the next one... and I'd like to experience for real what I've seen reported on this forum for the last year or so... keep on, keeping on Dave!

Mike, that's a beautiful traditional house you have there, suitably trimmed- looks superb. Great to see photographs from other friends, too- 'tis a great time of year, no doubt about it. Here's a snap from my humble home- festive greetings, one and all!

He's been turning a blind eye, that's for sure :wink: That's a smashing gift of vintage goodness. Eye-popping springs to mind... :mrgreen:

Getting far too excited... you'd never have thought I received a Star Wars wristwatch for Christmas in 1978, would you? I can tell the time, please believe me: just over an hour and a quarter to go!

Too kind! Good old Bakelite- still works, too. Although during conversation the sound of the voice can diminish mid-flow so you have to give the crystals in the earpiece a good old rattling... then you're back to prattling :lol: Less than two and a half hours before the Big Day. I'm not going...

Good to hear from you pal, and pleased that you're home for Christmas. All the best to you and yours, and here's to a much better year ahead.

:lol: :lol: And I did state in no uncertain terms in my initial SS want list: "It's got to be Palitoy" :D

Just 24 hours to go... (can we open them gone midnight on 25th December?). Here's my Secret Santa gift, right in the middle... at the front... and looking very 'cardback shaped' :wink: I haven't been caressing it, searching for clues. Honest.

Crumbs, that's what I would call "well stocked". Festive greetings and salutations to one and all :D

Cracking stuff, congratulations JuniorChubb- and superb effort to all who entered 8)

I'm absolutely gutted for the collectors who have inadvertently got stung with these TOCs. I've always held Palitoy in high regard, the brand was such a massive part of my childhood. I can't help feeling ToyToni has now made a mockery of that red and blue logo... but I will still fly the flag...

Greg Lake's 'I Believe in Father Christmas' always gave me goosebumps as a kid, and still does today when I hear it. Superb carol, Paul- like you, I'm a bit of a traditionalist... this one from Prokiev always gets me in a festive mood: ELld1VrEuTQ

Belated birthday greetings, gents :)

Great news, Tim- always nice to hear of a happy ending. I'll bet... both of you take a deep breath, relax... and enjoy Christmas, knowing you've got the ideal wedding to follow in the New Year. Have fun, you deserve it :D

Nice one, Richard (regarding the naming of the usual suspects, not the 'journey home speeding fine' :( ) Great idea, Barry. JuniorChubb... I seem to recall you possess the most extraordinary Photoshop skills... any chance you could oblige? Busy time of year and all that, I know... no rush :wink:
