Metropolis Toys

Just a quick heads up:

Went to Ryton toy fair yesterday and picked up a Klaatu Skiff cardback with bubble attached.
Figure had been carefully removed.
This was on a stall being run by Metropolis Toys who also had a couple more cards with a loose Ree Yees and B-wing pilot POTF reseal with missing coin and gun.
Very shortly after buying the card I was looking at their graded figures when the chap on the stall told me he had the Klaatu at the shop with a lot more stuff.
He said he'd "cut the card open and removed the figure" himself.
My mate and I were a bit surprised at what we'd heard and I certainly wouldn't have bought the card if I'd known earlier.
Not ones for kicking up a stink we moved on.

Hey all.

Has anyone on here dealt with Metropolis Toys?? Just wondered what they are like to deal with. Are they up for offers or negotiation or are their prices set in stone?? Got an item I might be interested in after Christmas but it's a little steep for my liking.

Any info would be much appreciated.

He's good for a chat if you go in the shop, and is open to some price negotiation.

A lot of nice pieces in that shop, I don't think he's a Star Wars man so won't be as precious as most about opening sealed items. Not saying that I agree with that stance
