Hi, just been looking at old Lincoln posts.
Lincoln Memories
I can remember buying a carded Lincoln Dracula in 1977 in Wales whilst being on holiday, it was being sold in a cheap beach side shop that sold fancy goods etc.
Also I bought my carded Lincoln Phantom on a day trip to Poole (Poole is a Coastal town on the south coast in the county of Dorset.) again purchased from a beach side shop on Poole quay
I only saw the Lincoln monsters carded , not boxed , no sign of the victim or Mr
Rock
In the 1970s my parents had mail order catalogues from Littlewoods , Freemans , and Marshall ward,
catalogues were seasonal ,summer catalogue hardly any toys, winter catalogue
Full of toys.
Throughout the 1970s early 80s I never saw Lincoln Monsters in the above catalogues,or in any independant toy shops / department stores they only had palitoy carded mego,s .........Lincolns only seem to be sold in cheap beach / fancy goods shops.
So not sure why UK mail order catolougues didn't stock Lincoln monsters.
(if any one knows different please let me know).
