Buying Lesney in London?

[thecomposer10]

Hey all –

I've been in London for a few weeks doing a research project and am wondering if there are any vintage toy shops members know of that stock Lesney here. I assume that one is much more likely to find older Matchbox here than in antique/junk shops in the U.S., but so far I haven't been particularly successful.

Cheers!

As a Londoner myself, I can honestly say that I haven't seen any. At least, not since the early 60's!

That's very true and pretty funny too.

Thanks anyway, guys! I'll keep scouring the flea markets in America
