The toy shops are still open for another few hours so Big Arnie is off to get that elusive TurboMan. What toys, old or new,would you rush out for late on Xmas Eve readers?
Mine would be:
1. James Bond Attache Case by Multiple Toymakers
2. Strange Change Machine by Mattel.
3. The model dinosaur range by Revell.
Gotta be quick though! Arnie's changed his mind!
In some far off corner of town there's an run down toy store that's seldom visited. It's got some new stuff up front... RC cars and planes pay the rent... but there's a back room... kept half lit to save on the electricity... and there, in the back... behind the counter... in a cardboark box that's about to split its seams... is a complete set of the Colorforms Outer Space Men... AND the unreleased second series as well... all in perfect condition, hermetically sealed way from the ravages of time.
ReplyDeleteFor THAT I'd move heaven and earth in a last minute Xmas eve gamble to get there before the place closed.
