hi guys
just my little story from monday... now wasnt certain where to put this post
so here it is...

where i live in uk there is a shop i visit in nottinghamshire called forbidden planet. ..its got everything all film related, dolls,from horror,terminator,dvds,all modern stuff..you know the kind of shop/store i mean tons of memorabilia....when i go i really look forward to it...

so i took a visit in december last year....when i got there its closed down.. i was really looking forward to looking at all the stuff they had... so no more forbidden planet to visit.

so..monday i decided to go to sheffield with my girlfriend ..wanted some new clothes....went to a big shopping complex called meadowhall....

had a great day..had a beer,some dinner,got some new clothes ..then... noticed a little sci fi shop..... very similar to the forbidden planet....
was enjoying myself looking at all the new figures and film memorabilia..when i got a big smile on my face.... there all on his its own..last on the peg was a single repro diamond select andorian...

yea theres lots of them i guess but its the closest i,ll ever get to owning an andorian in mint condition without paying lots of money.... i couldnt resist so grabbed him..it was £9.99..and it was an odd feeling like id found and original mego andorian in a garage/carboot sale ive never seen a mego one or repro in real life.. only at the mego museum and ebay so i was pretty excited

was all in all a good day but im not certain what to do..? open it up....or leave him in his package.... ??? i just cant make up my mind .. wow...what a dreamworld my shopping trip turned out to be lol lol

cool, i never open toys but go for it

[fallensaviour]

I always open them...LOL
Then let my son go to town on these figs.
Just seeing the smile on his face is reward enough...But then I do get a small pleasure in ripping open the package...

now the name ive no idea?..i never even looked....but its very easy to find... in the meadow hall centre...theres a main seating area where you can by all different meals to eat...think theres a wimpy..mcdonalds etc.... also has a little cinema up there. then just on the edge of all that theres like an alley of shops that go around it...the sci fi shop is in there... its basically the only sci fi shop in the meadowhall ..i didnt see any others in there....

very easy to find ....

What's the point in owning it if you can't enjoy it. I say open it.
Great story. So what kind of beer did you have?

What are you gonna do, sit on it for 35 years, and hope it's worth a couple hundred bucks?
Open that bad boy.

Toys are designed to be played with... therefore, leaving them in their packaging is illogical.

OPEN IT!
