Hi all,

thanks for the kind words.  $.$ to you all!

Yep it looks like a very addictive hobby.

Im already trying to get a hold of 1 or 2 more from my wish list of about 10. Having a big machinery shed that is all lined and sealed makes for a good spot for a few, but all the other junk in there is taking up room. Very addictive and I havent really started.  ^^^

Im after 1 or 2 of:- T2, IJ, Dredd, Demo Man,  Simpsons, South Park, Last Action Hero, White Water, Funhouse etc. Anything from the 90's I'll consider. Around 2 to 3K in price. Let me know what you may be thinking of selling.

Cheers all

Thanks for that. I may take a run up the Coast to there for a look. Any idea what pins are there atm?

I think if I filled the shed Id be living in it permanently and divorced! mmmmm. At least Id be where all the pinnies, motorbikes, race car, beer fridge, etc........ is!  %$%
