[QUOTE="SAVORY100, post: 452364, member: 5830"] The most nostalgic piece I own is my Biker Scout and Speeder bike; as noted on The Vintage Rebellion podcast last month, its the only surviving toy from my childhood collection. The most nostalgic item that I don't own, but would love to own would have to be a Return of the Jedi shelf edge strip; so evocative of that era and the products I bought as a child. These are more commonly called a shelf talker as we seem to use the US retail terminology (though in the UK a shelf talker would be a clear plastic almost springy thing that bounces a colourful logo or similar in front of the shelf/product; I think they might call these danglers)... I find it funny how we've adopted this US term neglecting our own retail visual merchandising terminology. Having worked in retail for over twenty five years across many blue chip and some **** retailers, across visual merchandising and buying, launching stores across Europe too, I find it funny that only in the SW community have I ever heard this cross over of shop display language. Any others worked in this sector in the UK and seen these term differences? [/QUOTE]
