I recently visited Smyths toyshop with my Grandson and was pleasantly surprised by thier stock. Here are a few highlights. What do you think readers?
Spies, Mars and Space
Squishy Human - getting this for Grandson for his 5th Birthday soon.
Spy belt set - wow!
Big batcave!
Masters of the Universe re-issues - not cheap!
Alien, Kong and Godzilla
Kenner Star Wars blisters - re-issues
I see that Playmates' 12 inch Mecha Godzilla hiding in the upper right corner.Thats not easy to find here,and being re-sold for a tidy mark-up. :(
ReplyDeleteI try to go about four times a year and am always unpleasantly disappointed by the lack of rack- and pocket-money toys - outside of the usual POS corporate stuff; Shopkins, tradings cards, Lego minifig blind bags etc . . .

Its always disappointing to visit a modern toy shop now and not just for the scary prices. The quality of the toys is often pretty low too. Star Wars figures are a nightmare to collect now, as Hasbro have brought out so many different lines within the range. However the Black series 5" figures are wonderfully detailed and sculpted.
ReplyDeleteGoing into a modern toy store would just make me sad, and realize how old I am, and how much has been lost...
