Apologies if this is the wrong place, but thought it was worth posting.

Poundland (Wandsworth) had boxes and boxes of absolutely superb replica tin toys in today. They seem to have originally been for sale in France and "given" away with a magazine. The magazine cost 13 Euros and with it you got a tin toy based one originaly made between 1900-1940. There's a wide variety of cars, planes, people and even a zepplin. Better still, they're all wind up! :j

I found 9 different ones and I noticed the magazine numbers went up to 14. Unfortunately I couldn't find a battleship or the carousel (both shown on the back of other toys) (

These were flying out of the packing cases, so get down as soon as you can. I'm back off tomorrow to get another set as gifts, but expect to be disappointed. The toys are not suitable for kids under 14 years.

Here's a link to a French page that lists all the models and shows the things I'm bribbling on about. To give an idea of scale, the items measure around 6 inches each.

Good hunting.

Got the link???

These tin toys I agree are a magnificent find, I can see gift shops selling similar items at huge prices. The orginal magazines have 12 euros on them so certainly worth a dabble. I picked up the roadsweeper, a 1920s oil tanker and the zepplin in Shrewsbury.

I paid 99p to buy this info from Ebay. Hope this will be useful for someone.

It claimed like Poundland might get their stuff from http://www.delboyswholesale.co.uk/home.html.

This is a super cheap website. Can't find how quality the goods are. Never tried to order any myself. Will do soon as the minimum has to be £50. Recommended!!

And for argos return stock, it's worth to check https://www.argosclearance.co.uk.

This seems like geniune Argos website, unfortunately when I logged in, I had problems with password many times. So never got a chance to view the goods there.

Dont use delboys its a LOT like the name, they take your money send you one or 2 e-mails and you place your order never to see your money again. I know someone who was stung by them last year, thanks to a whois on the domain name they managed to get there money back.

One for you PC owners out there, sick and tired of unplugging cameras , mp3 players , mobile phones etc. into limited USB ports ? then how about this :-
4 port USB hub only £1 from ................. You guessed it , yes POUNDLAND!! Just bought one today and it works a treat , going back for a spare one tomorrow!
Plus you even get a short lead in case the hub is too bulky to fit in the port with all the surrounding connectors.
The ones I've been looking at recently were around the £10mark. It's made my day anyway!!:dance: :dance:

Price is very tempting, but this hub worth it price. I had one, and used it only once to realise that need brand one.

750 freezer bags on a roll for - well, I'll let you guess the price. Pretty impressive though - I was hoping for 80 or 100 on a roll!

The rolls of 26 rubbish sacks are excellent. Have never had one split.
