Incidentally, I've still got my three versions of Tracy Island - the Matchbox one, the Vivid Imaginations one (pretty much the same), and a smaller, automated one that unfolds itself into a playset. (That one was by Vivid as well, if I recall correctly. There all up in my loft at the moment.)Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-85433794786714354652017-12-21T06:08:31.653+00:002017-12-21T06:08:31.653+00:00And they say things are expensive in Japan.

Have you any away in their boxes? It's not about the money for you which is good to see. Some I have seen have shelving with hundreds of boxed toys displayed in their basement.
