[QUOTE="chipsteak, post: 506748, member: 5867"] I started getting them around Christmas 1980 aged almost-seven. My memories are strangely clear in that I recall each wave thereafter coming out, the more noticable changes in cardbacks and pretty much every Glasgow shop I got the stuff from; mostly large chain stores in town with a couple of idependants early on. I even remember where I first saw a Bounty Hunter Offer card ( it was Goldbergs, Glasgow ) and wondering who the hell 4LOM was. I can just about stretch to recall which of the new figures I got from each wave. Toward the end, I went to a nearby Cash'n'carry to get what was the last 17 with ease. II was surprised to find out much later that they weren't brilliantly distributed. Only this week I passed by a burnt out kebab shop on the bus to be reminded what I got there when it was Babyland baby's stuff and toy shop. [/QUOTE]
