Childhood Toy shop

Yeah man, the Wickford and Rayleigh ones. But mostly the Rayleigh one, that's where I grew up. If you ever see another one of those or anything from that shop do please grab it for me. I'll buy it no question, thanks!

Don't suppose you'd let that £1.25 Lewis' sticker go?

No, sorry but you could have the rebel commando with the Lewis sticker if you like

@Robstyley would this be the same Peter Jones store you visited as a child....

Great to see. My mum used to take me and my brother to the one in Laurie Walk Romford and if we were lucky buy us another figure each.
Kiddie City was a few doors down also from what i remember

PM me. I tried to pm you but must be doing something wrong

Leemcl went to my parents' house a couple of weeks ago to retrieve my old Scalextric stuff and... found a GW Hurley price sticker! Over the moon! Still want to find one on a cardback, but this is great 8)

Superb stuff mate. Thanks for sharing - I've had quite a find in the last couple of weeks, although it's involved eBay and not GW Hurley.

In 83 on a Saturday morning I went to House of Holland in Chingford, London with my folks and got a Chief Chirpa figure. I remember it so very well....along with my Lando Skiff from Harrods from around the same time, those two I really remember buying.

Well low and behold.....although unlikely to be from the Chingford store, it's good enough for the 7 year old me.


Now add to that by saying - also in Chingford around 86-88 there was a general shop called "This & That" and in 86 it was the last place I recall seeing any Jedi Card backs on sale and I remember they were selling at 50p each. And look what I found on eBay..... weirdly it was in France.....but that's definitely the same price sticker font so bagged that for £13.50 with the bubble.

Fantastic finds mate!!!

Very nice! Thanks for sharing, always great to see.

awesome thread remember one from a while back anotherguy knew the chads in hereford i bought all my bits from

I've just dug this thread out as yesterday was one of those dream days as a collector for me. As mentioned before have been looking for the Peter Jones price sticker forever. Got a tip off last night there was one on a cardback on Echo, for sale. Went straight on and tried to get it then after a bit of a wait got the reply and got it! Can't believe it, never thought it would happen. I'm over the moon. Massive thanks to Dan Whiteley for the tip off and to Adam Booth for the card.

Please if anyone ever sees a PARYS NEWS price sticker on anything please contact me or Dan Whiteley on Facebook. Thanks

It's all the more sweet it's a Palitoy 45bk. From the very peak era I was heavily into the toys. It didn't necessarily come from the Rayleigh shop but it doesn't matter, it's still awesome

Mate, that's brilliant- so happy for you. This is what it's all about- nostalgic price stickers, not £30k MOCS!

Congratulations. It's always wonderful to finally find something after years of hard work and dedication searching for it. I'm really pleased for you.

So… I cannot actually believe it. After looking out for this price sticker for over ten years with no luck, two come along within a couple of months..! I've just got another one off eBay, again from a tip off from Dan Whiteley. It's much nicer, in lovely condition without the name tag cut out. A 65B Bib, also a card I need for my Palitoy run. Well chuffed, now I have the orange and yellow price stickers

Congrats mate

Woohoo! Perfecto! Well done, mate.

Stuff like this is why I love this forum !!!

Got the MOC to go with it Different on the back though - 65C

Great finds.

I've been searching for a Luton Arndale Center price tag for years without any luck!
