[QUOTE="Joe, post: 122800, member: 440"] Not this one no, was part of a huge toy auction, majority of the toys were European (Meccano,Palitoy,Trilogo etc) but there were Kenner in the mix also, judging from the condition of all the items that were sold I would bet on factory overstock. Was definitely not your average collection at all. Steve- I reckon it's very possible these 3 packs were produced for export to England etc I just wasn't sure about which kind of shops stocked them as they border on bootleg, very cheap looking packaging to say the least. I think that would be my only reservation about placing them in TRU but then again the timeline seems to fit (1985 and onwards the line fizzled out and TRU opened) so perhaps if TRU were just starting out they may well have bought up a lot of odd toy stock just to fill the shelves and get people buying? That price sticker definitely looks like £0.99 to me so unless I am seeing it wrong it isn't a US one. :D [/QUOTE]
