I read that title to my wife and then added "Who in their right mind would pay that kind of money for toys".

She looked at me like my head was on fire.

I bought all those toys for my boy after going to the premier of Star Wars - he promptly destroyed them all !!! I still have an original technical drawing framed from the design studio for R2D2 somewhere. I also made him a big star base out of paper mache for him to play with them on ( took me bloody weeks ) and he managed to kill that as well - who needs a Death Star when there are small kids around !

Hi all what a silly price but there must have been two bidders there that wanted it or £18,000 was the reserve didn't Vectis sell a large scale dump truck for £10,500 a few years ago. Looked at some of their sales yesterday prices seem to be good & there was nothing mint box there Pete
