Welcome and thank you for visiting.
I have always been interested in toys but
it wasn't until the birth of my son that I started looking at them again,
and when I did I was amazed at some of the cool stuff that was out
there. So, naturally, I started buying them, well, it would have been
rude not to, and over time we started amassing quite a collection. I
think it is now fair to say that I am a toy collector, although I am not one of these
people that needs the
boxes and/or instructions. These are toys first, and a collection second, and all the toys on
this website (regardless of whether I bought them mint in box) are
regularly played with and enjoyed by my son and I. I don't like the thought
of toys like this just sitting on someone's shelf, still sealed - it
just seems such a waste - toys are meant to be played with.
To aid me in my collecting, I looked on the internet for information
on the toys I was interested in but didn't really find what I was
looking for. Toy manufacturers websites are great for learning about the current range of
toys, but they seem to almost be in denial about products no longer in
production. Also, some 'serious collector' websites were a bit too detailed
and I found it rather difficult to find what I was looking for. So, I decided to create a
simple website sharing all the information I
had gathered, so that other people wouldn't have to go to the lengths that I did
to learn what accessories were available for various toy ranges, and to make
it easy to find
out what pieces came with each set (handy if you are buying stuff
second-hand). Please feel free to let me know what you
think of it, and, if you have any information or knowledge about the toys on this
website, or ones you feel should be included - feel free to get in touch (email address
is at the bottom of the page). The sections of the website can be seen below
and every page on this site has a navigation bar like the one at the
top of this page to make it easy to navigate between these sections. Enjoy....

Fisher Price Imaginext
The replacement for Great Adventures but with an added
construction twist where, just like Lego, the sets come in pieces so an
infinite number of sets can be built. Two ranges were made, medieval and
modern, this site is just for the medieval one as that is my favourite. |

Fisher Price Rescue Heroes

A nice range of action figures where, instead of using
guns and other weapons, the characters are people fire-fighters, police and
mountain rescuers. As Fisher Price themselves put, they are cool guys who
are also good guys. |

The Sausageoflife Group
Due to the response I got from
this website I decided to
create a group so that people could share knowledge and swap toys, not only
with me, but with each other too. The website is where I have gathered all
the information I could find, but this group offers an easy way for anyone
else to add anything. |
