Almost Christmas

It's been a hectic time recently for Time Was... the run up to the festivities and we've been all over the place. Huntingdon - through the ice & snow last Sunday for what was a not so good toyfair, not many traders made it through the bleak mid-winter, and even less buyers. Birmingham before that for a wargame fair, and unfortunately a long way to go for again a not so good a time.

But we have been kept busy with new stock coming in. The Back to the Future Light up Delorean is well worth a look, as to the rest of the Deloreans. Also the new Star Wars and Dungeons & Dragons figures.

But what has really kept us busy is the internet. The remote control R2-D2 is a winner, seems to be the must have toy for Christmas. We've certainly struggled to keep pace with demand for it.

The shop has been busy in this last week before the big day. The Fairies and Fantasy figures seem to be the gift that folks want to give, and a good choice too, though maybe the odd Dalek here and there wouldn't go amiss.

Shame about all the snow as it meant that for one day Time Was... was snowed in at home and there is naff all on daytime TV to keep you interested, but then there were all those little R2-D2s to send. The chap at the Post Office must have thought it was Christmas!!! with all the parcels we gave him the following day.

Anyway it's now time to wind down, just one last shopping day before Santa arrives, provided the council has gritted the roads for Rudolph.
