....I won't even ask what happened :roll:
Were the pieces all original then?

That's how i used to get hold of stuff in the 90's, just go into shops and ask. There was a shop in Chorley, Lancs that had shelves full of mini-rigs. I still have a few left following my clear out many years ago. They were all going for a fiver each.

I went into another shop and bought 3 Chief Cherpas. They were still sat on the shelves with all the regular modern kids toys. That was about 13 years ago.

I'm absolutely sure that there will be some out there sat in back rooms. The recession is probably clearing out toy shops though
