NORWICH TOYS?

I'm currently in Norwich, England.

Does anyone know of any vintage toy shops in the city readers?

BEANO'S IRON FISH

When I posted about the Cosmo Sea Bird toy in Spring reader Terranova47 mentioned these, the Iron Fish!

They look great!

These are in the 1966 Beano annual.

Do you recall them readers?

Voyage to the Bottom Of the Sea Minisub

I saw this online. The Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea minisub.

Minisub

Its not a vehicle I remember at all. Do you readers? Was it ever released as a toy?

Today We're babysitting all day at Moonbase Junior's house. Baby's asleep and baby's Dad has come home ill and is currently in Bed.

I'm on missus Moonbase's notepad which I'm not used to.

I've been thinking about cap guns and where I got caps as a kid. I think you could get them allover the place. I seem to recall them in the local newsagents. Rolls of them. Is that your experience readers?

We also had Sekidans in the house in the Sixties. These Japanese pistols fired small peas of compressed powder - no idea what - which came in small boxes I think. No idea where we got extra ammo from. Maybe just toy shops?

Do kids still need ammo or has the whole toy gun thing finished?

Airfix FN Toy Rifle

Saw this on You Tube.

I had one of those Airfix toy rifles.

Did you?

MYSTERY TONKA DAVE SHOCK WAVE TOY CAR

Been car booting a few times this summer. One toy I picked up was for my Grandson as he loves toy cars. Before he gets his hands on it I thought I'd ask you if you know it.

Its marked TONKA, dated 1983 and made in Japan. The side graphics says Dave Shock Wave. There's a small yellow button n the top of the roof and the rear wheels are much bigger and within a weighted axle.

Here's a picture of the same toy I found on an old auction online.
