Thanks guys for the feedback, that's great to hear.
The store display boxes are some of my favourite items, there's so much nostalgia there! I can remember going to the newsagents to get my chews, and my stickers - there were lots of us at school collecting the Empire stickers and it was great doing swaps in the playground and getting a few more to put in my book. It was such a great feeling to get to the point where I could send off for the last few to complete the book!
How I got the Chewbar box is one of those stories, I never used to believe people who come out with this sort of thing. I was up in the loft going through old boxes and I came across a box containing the Chewbar box, a Palitoy Dip Dots set, a pack of Helix pens and a few other bits that I never knew I had. I must have bought them years ago, perhaps around the time one of the kids was born or when we moved house, and hurriedly shoved them in the loft and forgot about them. I had to pinch myself, I felt like Indiana Jones uncovering lost treasures! Sounds ridiculous I know, but it's true - all of it...
Ian, so sorry to hear you got rid of a Chewbar box and VCJ for a fiver - we've all got a story like that! If you have any spare Chewbar wrappers I'm in the market for a blue and red one, as mines not in best condition. If you're ever minded to sell please let me know?
Thanks again, Andy
