Hi,
I'm not a collector, but I did have a passing interest in TF around the turn of the millenium, which meant that when I was lucky enough to go to Japan, I picked up a few random odds and sods that are maybe hard/impossible to get hold of, but aren't necessarily that valuable.
I'm currently in the process of moving out of North London, and looking to offload as much of my accumulated ephemera as possible, and my TF and similar stuff definitely falls into that category. Right now, I don't want to deal with Ebay or even sending stuff by mail, so I'm hoping there are maybe some collectors in the London area who might be interested enough in this stuff to pick it up from my place? I'm less than 100m from a London Overground station, and there are several bus routes that stop directly outside or close by.
What I'm looking to sell:
There's a photo album of the above here.
I imagine the Japanese fanzines are difficult to value, and the English-language reference books of minimal value, so I'm inclined to just throw those in as a bonus to anyone who cares to buy the Heinrad toy. Looking at recent Ebay completed sales for Heinrad alone, say maybe £70 for the lot to anyone who can collect them?
I also have some Japanese Zoids-related stuff picked up around the same time, which might be of possible interest here? Please note that none of these are "proper" Zoids toys, and they're very Japanese language heavy. They are:
I'm more inclined to hang onto the Zoids stuff than the TF, but I'm just throwing them out there in case there are any Zoids super-collectors out there who might value them more than me? I haven't currently got any photos of the Zoids stuff online, but can provide some if anyone shows interest.
Thanks for your time :-)

What I'm looking to sell:
- Beast Wars Heinrad/Heinlad toy. Complete and boxed. Has spent most of the past 20 years in my parents' loft, which has left a few small marks & tears on the box, and the clear plastic is now a bit yellowed. The clock presumably still works, but at time of writing I haven't dug out any batteries to check.
- 8 Japanese fanzines, picked up at the summer and winter 2001 Comikets. The content is a mixture of comic strips and reference material, all Japanese language, a mix of the then current(ish) Beast Wars and "regular" Transformers.
- 4 US reference books, I think all from the early 200s. I imagine these are now very dated and of minimal value or interest, but I'm including them for completeness.

I also have some Japanese Zoids-related stuff picked up around the same time, which might be of possible interest here? Please note that none of these are "proper" Zoids toys, and they're very Japanese language heavy. They are:
- Two Zoids Battle Card Game starter pack boxes, red and blue. The contents have been opened and examined by me, but they've never been played with, and should be complete. The boxes are as good as might be expected given their age; certainly I've seen far worse on "new" stock in toy shops. Not sure what to ask for these, as there are listings on Ebay asking for £150 each, which seems crazy, as mine still have the price stickers on, showing I originally paid 1440 yen for each.
- Zoids Customize Manual book. About 2/3 is colour photos of Zoids, and 1/3 black & white manga. I couldn't find any for sale now or in the past on Ebay, but there's a copy listed on Amazon.com with a list price of $60. My copy is in pristine condition, although it lacks the "obi" wraparound along the bottom visible in the Amazon product listing; pretty sure it never had it, as I'm normally a hoarder of stuff like that :-)
