G'day Tim,
Unless anyone claims to be nearer, I might be the next closest AFOL - I live
south of Yarm, which is about an hour north of you.
The best selection will be the Toymaster shop in Kings Square, but it is not
a cheap shop! There is at least one TRU in York. Also, there is a factory
outlet place on the ringroad to the south of York with a discount toyshop
in, so check that one out too.
HTH,
Phil in Yorkshire.
