If you are lucky enough to live in London, and have a keen interest in Vinyl toys /art you should probably go visit 2nd AMOS Miniature Plastic Workshop. Here you will find a temporary store with tons of toys that have never been available in the UK before. From Japan exclusives to sold out AMOS and World of Pain figures, you’ll surely walk out with some goods, and even if you don't - just remember we carry a decent range of AMOS classics too, which we recently restocked. The most exciting purchase may just be a 16-page comic zine “ Caleb’s Adventures in Wonderlean.” If you want to see more about Caleb , check out his blog, The Wisdom of Caleb .

Always been a fan of Amos toys and with the delivery of the new CALEB toy, it got me wishing i could have some of the older ones back in stock, after AGES of scouring the web i found a dealer who had a case (12 pieces) of each of these bad boys. They arrive instore tomorrow, Witchdoctor  & Mr Waverley are £29.99, Mr Jubbs is £24.99, and this will be followed by some Mini King Kens and tote bags next season.

Late last week we got a suprise delivery of the brand-new figures from AMOS and included the all new Limited Edition 20cm CALEB toy: Each of the six figures features a different t-shirt and are actually infact SOLD OUT on the official AMOS website. So act fast if you want these great toys added to your collection. Fraser

I'm an avid collector of Dunnys , and I thought that the 2010 series were some of the best they've done since the French series a few years back. I was expecting a couple of average dunny series' to come out before I got excited again, but they've followed up with this two tone series which looks amazing. Hopefully we'll be getting them in soon and I'll personally be getting my mitts on them as soon as they're through the door. ©

Ever wondered why some things are more valuable than others? Well read on and I shall explain.... Be it sneakers , vinyl figures , plush toys or even spray cans , here at Fat Buddha we have loads of opportunities to get your hands on a little bit of treasure for the future. With a little bit of knowledge, some care of your goods and throw in some luck and you could be sitting on a nice nest egg. Something is only worth what somebody will pay for it, and if you are the only one with that thing, then it can suddenly become very valuable.  Limited edition goods are always a safe place to start (the clue is in the 'limited'), this means that only a certain number are made, be it 50, 100, or even 1000, there are only a limited number of them about. Over the years, many of these will be lost, damaged, broken or discarded, making something that was once only limited, now being extremely rare! This is where the smart collectors come in. A well looked after collectable, meaning cle...
