    Im a Muppet/Henson collector & Paddington Bear collector that cant seem to find any Paddington stuffs lol. The older, the better. Its like striking gold when I do! I have to stop it at Muppets though, because seeing old late 70's-early 80's fave toys gets me dangerously giddy. I imagine myself in one of those old Nickelodeon/Toys R Us shopping spree commercials, going crazy dumping everything into my cart! lol
    Congrats again on 10yrs!
