Post by: Wulfe on July 14, 2014, 08:44:10 AM

Hey guys,

has anyone seen this before?

Sadly there isn't any makers information anywhere and google\ebay hasn't uncovered anything.
I found it in Victoria,Australia

Searching in the UK and AU I didn`t find anything either !! But like here in the U.S.,, if they weren`t very popular,,thats not unusual !!  Many things just didn`t make the "Big Time" !!  Try looking for a forum for game collectors on a site for toy collectors !! It may be a sub-forum !! That's what I would try !!
