Found a vintage toy shop in Leicester on the way back from a meeting. Picked up a Rock Pot (Rock Lords vehicle), G1 Cindersaur and a carded Powermaster Ironhide
The prices were really reasonable. Not cheap but not too expensive either. Ironhide was £20. They had a load of G1, and some nice carded G2 Gobots for £15 each

I stumbled upon one in Blackpool. I was like a wean in a sweet shop. Unfortunately it was a disorganised mess and filled the Star Wars prequel toys. They had Pepsi Prime which I already had and a couple of Japanese exports as far as TFs went. |

Bought from a vintage toyshop in Blackpool yesterday, for The Scorpion King figure. Never seen it in the packaging before. I could've spent all day and a small fortune in the shop. Tell me more of this vintage toy shop in Blackpool! -Ralph |

It's I Collectibles, formerly Dream Maker toys and in a new shop (unless my memory is messing with me) with a much better layout. It's on Bond Street, pretty easy to find. Get off at Waterloo Road tramp stop, go up the road that runs between the Dutton Arms and McDonalds, the next street on your right will be Bond Street, I Collectibes is about 30 yards the corner. There's also Respawn Toys which is on Waterloo Road, about 200 yards away from I Collectibles. Not as big as I Collectibles but a slightly different focus with more loose toys.
Anyone who'd been in Dream Maker knows how much of a nightmare it was to find anything, now it's more of a proper shop, well laid out, clear sections, the owners a nice guy called Chris, if you're looking for anything specific just ask and he'll know where it is. Don't have much TFs, just a small cabinet under the cash register with some Japanese stuff, but plenty wrestling, Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, Spawn, comics plus other miscellaneous stuff. I'm back in Blackpool in June and already planning when I can ditch my family and get along to the shop.

Type "Leicester vintage toy shop" into Google maps. That's what I do, I don't know what it's called or where it is

And it is iCollectables. |

Their prices are good. Not especially cheap, but not especially expensive either. Pretty on the ball with what you'd expect to pay.
The guy who runs it is also really up on his names of Japanese micromasters
