Nice find indeed. Congrats! Did the seller give any info as to why they had so many panthor figures? Seems kind of strange unless they have a thing for purple cats.

there was a toy shop in porth south wales run by an old man which was mainly 80's toys he died and the shop was left to his daughter who sold off all the toys. The guy i bought them off said it was the last stuff left to sell

Thanks for sharing. I love reading the backstories that go with finds like these.

I look forward to seeing pics of the new find as well. Sounds like your newspaper ad is working well.
