Dealers/shops in UK

[John skywalker]

I have been on here a while now but never really posted much. I'm looking for some info really. I've been collecting for a good few years and am now at the point where I am looking for certain things, eBay is a bit of a minefield/nightmare and Facebook is all over the place.

Does anyone know of any reputable dealers/shops that sell decent graded 12 backs (mainly palitoy) and boxed vehicles in the UK. I want to try and avoid shipping from abroad especially the USA because of the potential extra costs involved.

I have tried a few shows/toy fairs but they seem to be very hit and miss. Although celebration in London was very good and I bought some nice items but stupidly didn't get the details of any sellers.

Any help much appreciated.

Try hothrebel on here, Nicholas Dykes on FB, it's the same person but he normally has nice graded pieces, also hothiceplanet.co.uk, also on here

Ian Carrick also deals with the top end stuff, and graded items. Think he's 80's Collector on here.

Darren Simpson from StarZone is also a very reputable dealer and genuine top bloke.

Not sure what Rich Temple has in stock in terms of Palitoy but he's also another good dealer. Tatooine Toys on FB.

Some collectors on here often have the items you mention so keep an eye on the trade/sale threads.
