Busy Busy Busy

Its been a bit hectic at Time Was... recently despite the snow and all not letting us open the shop. A wee bit too much black ice!! The internet sales though have picked up and since we are now out of a recession things are looking brighter. Oops was that a pig just flying by?

Last Sunday though was a bit of a trier!! On the A14 to Huntingdon toyfair the junction before the one we wanted was closed, and the diversion seemed like Chris Rea's road to nowhere. Well not quite nowhere, it was somewhere, but where we weren't sure. Having passed the same house three times we came to the conclusion we were definitely somewhere and that was LOST.

Still we managed to get to Wood Green Animal Centre in the end, only a few dozen extra miles but an extra 45 minutes on the journey. So the day started well to say the least, and by the time we had finished it wasn't that much better. We had a few sales but nothing to write home about, besides I've lost the address.

But we have now received the Classic Wave 2 figures from Doctor Who including the Ice Warriors, Voc Robot and more, and the Journal of Impossible Things and the Master's Ring set. Almost all are available at www.timewasshop.co.uk I say almost because they have been flying off the shelves. Something that the USS Voyager from Star Trek continues to do on-line. We can't get enough of them. Make sure you get yours before they all go.

Perhaps that wasn't a pig I saw flying.

Doctor Who - The End Of Time - Coming Soon

Happy New Year!!!

New Years Eve saw Time Was... at Doncaster Racecourse, not for the off but for another excellent toyfair organised by Mike Bishop of MB Toyfairs. After a little bit of a slow start the buyers descended onto our stall, though not to the Fairy and Fantasy side of things. They were after good old, well new actually, toys. In particular Star Wars and Star Trek, two hardy perennials!! Sounds a bit like gardening to me.

So Doncaster made up for the Lincoln Toyfair on Monday, which unfortunately wasn't the hoped for spending of Christmas monies. Today after a leisurely get up, following the fireworks that all our neighbours seemed to have to celebrate the New Year that lit up the night sky, we decided to go to the Newark Toyfair as buyers and not sellers. Unfortunately we didn't buy anything - is that hypocritical of us???

Anyway let's hope that the New Year brings an end to the recession that those kind bankers gave us all, so that things pick up. It has been a bit disappointing this year both in the shop, at Toyfairs and on-line, ohh that's three disappointments.

But are we downhearted?? No we're not. There's new Doctor Who items in the pipeline ready for the Eleventh Doctor, but that's all hush-hush at the moment, so lips are sealed. Then there will be evn more from the world of sci-fi for example from Avatar and the Prince of Persia and possibly a new Ghostbusters on the way. Not to mention the wargaming and role-playing goodies that are soon to be coming out. All-in-all things look better for 2010.
