    I love perusing through these kind of shops and could spend hours in there. Nostalgia is a great thing and is always nice to see things you had when you were younger and also the collectibles you wanted but didn’t get.

    Good to see The Space-Bridge store, quite a selection of items there to suit a variety of interests. I also owned that very same fire station from new and re-assembled it before sale many years later in a very fastidious fashion to check all parts were there. Thank you.

    • @iainsbricks

    My hometown too Iain. The shop is fantastic and brings back so many childhood memories o the toys I used to have and wanted. Have been buying lego from there in the last couple of years. I find the prices very reasonable and always have a great range of minifigures and sets. Definitely worth a visit everyone.

    I enjoyed watching your 2023 investment update video recently, will you be doing a follow up later in the year??
    Please keep up the great videos as I really enjoy them.
    Thanks Ian , Matt from Dorset

      ​@iainsbricks hi Iain. I live in Glasgow. I missed you when you were in Loch lomond last year. Would you be interested in meeting me next time you are near Glasgow. Could maybe do deal with minifigures and old lego sets up to 10 years old, no pressure.

    • @williamewen383
      @williamewen383 7 месяцев назад

      Hi Iain. Maybe we can chat through my Bricklink Store called Brick Allsorts in the UK. I can tell you what sealed sets and polybags etc I have if you are interested. I would be happy to post to you. Absolutely no pressure for you to get involved if you are not interested !!!!

    I can't say about the other stuff, but as a gamer I can say that the prices were actually pretty reasonable, lots of other retro game stores seem jack up their prices way more than market value
