And now we have things which are .... well, it's hard to say just what. Most are rubber (or at least plastic) and are dinosaur-type objects, and so a bit hard to exclude. On the other hand, they aren't going to make anyone consign their Carnegie sets to landfill status, either. But it gets worse - I genuinely haven't a clue where most of these came from. I'd swear the first time I saw most of them was when I rummaged around just prior to taking the photos for this site. It's that old collecting problem: once you reach a certain critical mass, the pile increases all by itself. [Well, then, aren't we all lucky that you stopped collecting dreadnoughts -- Ed.}
