I figures it's easier to just start a new topic. And since I probably go to the UK more often in the future, this topic will be where I share my finds:

On Friday I arrived at London City Airport and just had to put on this tune when I took the train to Kent.

Hardly did I know how unlimited the clearance on Star Wars toys and collectibles actually is here!

Steve and I had a great late breakfast on Friday and made plans for the coming days. Stay tuned for a lot of nice places to look at!

It was a nice surprise to find the very last box of the Micro Galaxy Squadron's Scout Class assortment here!

We didn't make it to SmythsToys, but they have some amazing discounts on their website. Beware though that most of them are already sold out across the country!

LONDON

Steve and I walked over 26,000 steps on Saturday. I usually don't track my steps, but when my feet are smoking at the end of the day, I take a look. You'll see what we discovered here in the posts below.

Wow, what a great trip. Man, you are finding some great stuff.

I have got to stay away from the Micro Galaxy stuff even though I want it. Daggone good find.

That LEGO stuff is awesome too. My daughter wants that Rivendell set up. Thanks for sharing what you are doing!

Those pens with the golden snitch as topper were 10 pounds each! It's like the HotDogs in New York City: The closer you get to Times Square the more expensive they get!

Nice.

Thank you so much! I got the Imperial Speeder Bike in this one last box. Didn't walk up to the case that I saw in the second Sainsbury's though. I'm glad to be over 6 ft tall, otherwise I would've missed it because it was hidden waaay back on the top shelf!

I think the Rivendell set is well done and a firecracker of a return of the much missed LOTR line. This set is pricey, but definitely a nice project for you and your daughter.

I like the fact that the base offers two ways to display the Speeder. It also works well with some of the Miniatures by Wizards of the Coast!

Are you ready for one of the best toy stores on the planet? We're talking 6 1/2 FLOORS! Never been to a club with so many! And only saw two of them on Saturday: Ground and basement.

The reason I came here: A friend wanted to have the Royal Guard from LEGO.

Basement:
Harry Potter and Action Toys.

See all the rest here:

Man, looks minty fresh all of it.

Darth More · « **Reply #11 on:** March 25, 2023, 01:35:55 AM »

The packaging of all TVC products and most TBS figures were minty fresh, indeed! That's what you can at least expect from buying at Disney for MRSP or often more, right?

One more Harry Potter merch store on our way to forbidden planet. House of Secrets may have different prices in their various stores across London. This one already had cheaper prices than the first one close to Leicester Square. But the best is yet to come! It's a rainy Saturday here in Dresden today, so the perfect weather to add to this trip through London.
