My Old Toy Box

Brilliant brilliant little shop. Don’t be fooled when I say «little» as it absolutely cramped with all sorts of toys dating back a few decades and more.
It’s a toy fans delight with loads of models, cars, modelling kits, plenty of collectable nuggets and its all put together with such care and precision it’s hard not to get really excited up entering.
There’s a fair bit of Star Wars stuff but most exciting for me was the display cabinet full of vintage Corgi vehicles. I was quite the fan as a youngster so it was amazing to see sure a large and immaculate collection (sadly most of mine got lost/​battered over the years.
Definitely worth a trip for toy fans of all ages whether you want to sell, buy or just browse the goodies.
Pros: Friendly, very knowledgeable staff.
Cons: Pity not so many people passing the shop.

My Old Toy box is a great shop inside the Smithfield Market shopping complex. As the name might suggest it deals in old fashioned toys, primarily as collectors items but there are also a few other old school products just for sale. The interior of the shop is packed with from wall to wall with classic car toys, action figures, planes and models of all kind.
The time period it covers is so huge that it would be hard to find a living person of any age that wouldn’t go into this shop and get nostalgic. Like anyone who would open this kind of shop the owner loves everything in there and has a great knowledge if you have anything to sell (that’s worth him selling again!). If you are a collector, it’s a go to shop or if you’re just like me and wanting to take a trip down memory lane its a great place too. I may only be 23, but the original He-​man action figure I dropped out of the car window when I was four, is worth so much now I feel the need to create a time machine and slap past Conor for ever taking it out of the packaging!
