[QUOTE="peekaygee73, post: 506137, member: 6023"] We bought through conventional toy stores, and sold up not longer after the 77-backs started appearing on shelves so I missed out on the bargain bins of the mid/late 80s. I started collecting again in the early/mid 90s, and my favourite memory of collecting was reading through Model and Collector's Mart and buying stuff through the adverts or sending off to sellers for their catalogues. You can't beat the feeling of a photocopied hand-written catalogue coming through the post then quickly ringing up the seller before sending off a cheque for your items; the internet's taken collecting to another level, but I really, really miss that part of collecting.
