I got...

-Topper Annual 1979
-Krazy Annual 1981
-Cor!! Annual 1978
-1977 Hammerhead figure (from that Star Wars film)
-Raphael (already got him twice, but another one never harms)
-Boxed Action Force figure
-Several Corgi and Matchbox cars
-A Hotwheels ambulance
-One of those 128-games-joypad-into-your-telly things

Best of all, bumped into an old friend's dad, who without asking called his daughter, told her he's talking to a friend of hers, then handed me the phone. First time we'd spoke in six years, and we'll be meeting up soon. Good stuff :D


Which Action Force figure not a Muton was it?

Funny when you see loads of one figure in an unexpected place, isn't it? When I went to London last year, a guy in a tube station had a stand filled with carded figures of Scarecrow from Batman: The Animated Series.
