I remember having Betta Bilda, was great fun.

So did I. Never get away with it now, would you? Those base plates with all the metal rods sticking up in the air before you slid the "bricks" in. Recipe for disaster!

Are you sure it wasn't Bayko you had? I thought Betta Bilda was basically a copy of Lego, although Lego can be quite nasty to tread on too! I've got some Bayko waiting to be built up when I ever get around to it...

Those toyshop scenes are really good.

You're right! When you get to my age the memory goes.................

I knew there was a reason why we have younger members on the forum...to keep us older ones on our Toes...

not managed to buy online from here in the netherlands and a UK collectorfriend also failed to buy from their store (not using the expensive german seller)
Hope they will have a stand at Sandown as I remember seeing something similar there.

Don't you wish you could go back to when toyshops looked like this ! Nowadays its all hanging on pegs and little displays showing. I remember putting a penny in the slot and all the trains would run round the layout, toy cars were on display out of the boxes and could be pushed around ( no silly blister packed in an unopenable bubble)
