Search for Toys

After visiting all the popular toy shops such as: The Entertainer (Kingston/Staines), Bentalls, Early Learning Centre and Toy Discovery I have found that the majority of toys for sale at these shops are character based so are not really the type of toy i am looking for. Older toys which use mechanisms to move or perform a function give me alot more to work with and allow me to relate the weapon to the toy, however these older toys are much more difficult to find as most are now classed as collectables. I have been visiting charity shops, second hand shops and searching cupboards and boxes in my home and friends house and found a few suitable toys for the application of a weapon.
