K&C UK on the move! (1 Viewer)

[Tony Neville]

Guys

I sit here now in K&C UK new distripution depot in Spennymoor in the North East of england.

During the Christmas holidays whilst you guys were admiring the new K&C that santa brought you the Nevilles were on the move!.

In driving snow and ice in -7degrees we moved the entire workings of the K&C UK. We are now establiched and have all communications and logistics running.

Mike Neville (boss) is still taking the calls and orders from the old office. Whilst Sue Neville (true boss of family) and myself run the shipping and warehousing in our new unit. All parcels and returnare to be directed to the North east. We will soon have a showroom available for all K&C and some nice old peices and some you cannot buy peices (Mike wont let me!! ) Monty has already paid us a visit (and helped lug some box's) thanks Jake. Anybody else passing or wanting to visit can just drop me a line, or Mike

we are now holding more K&C than ever. The best part of it was that i got to see Mikes secret stash of OLD K&C whilst on the move and after choosing a couple of bits for myself!! i must say that the Livbid should look good.

We have every item of K&C in stock and most of the discontinued items.

We will have some photos on our site soon of the new unit and all its glory you never know you may see your order being done!!

Thanks for all your well wishes from our regulars and a happy new year to all.

Congrats on the smooth transition so far. By the way does that mean there'll be a new K&C UK label on the sets?

 

[jazzeum]

For all us foreigners, are you guys not located near London at all? I was hoping to get over there one day and visit you all. If truth be told, I was planning a heist so I can get all of Mike's retired items

 

[Louis Badolato]

Enjoy your new digs guys! Any hints on what's going on the auction block next?

 

[Tony Neville]

Cannonfoder

yeah the new label has our address in County Durham. Andy says anyset with our old address would make the older K&C stuff supplied by K&C UK (one of the older K&C traders) more worth having.

We have 24hr secruity, CCTV, gated entry and a guard dog (mum!!!, and trust, me Bob and Mike will vouch that her bite is worse!!) sssssssssshhhhh dont tell her. Your picture has been posted and they and been told to look out for dodgy americans looking around!!.

Joking aside Brad i note that you will meet Mike (dad) in New York we would love to see anybody here. We are 4hrs from London in a lot nicer historical part of the UK!. A flight can be got from London to Newcastle for as little as £30 ($50) return for the day and your baggage allowence would be the same as an international flight!!!!

Mike at the moment is located a lot nearer to London (about 70miles) truth be known Brad a lot of the UK people are trying to get away from London.

Louis

The next block of LIVEBID i have told dad to get some meaty stuff on there!!! get you guys involved. Mind we have some BIG UK players ready for the big stuff! be warned!

Found a couple of interesting items on our move that had fallen down the back of our old shelves!! not overally rare but verrrrrryyyyy Interesting!!

Guys again thank you all for your well wishes my very red eyes and soar back appreciate it. All our customers Sue's working like a 16 year old not a 60year old to get the orders out to you and as we speak my two children are hard at the packing as well.

Cheers

Tony better after a nights sleep and a cup of tea Neville

Tony, I'm told that my face would scare away a thousand ships so bring on that Yorkie . It'll be a mano a mano. I'm looking forward to meeting the patriarch of the family.

 

[Bob Neville]

Guy's thought I would drop you a note to say I (older brother Neville) who was not mentioned by my kid brother on his post is still down south working on the web site AND the next items for livebid!
Punch up next time we meet!
Don't tell Dad but the next items on live bid that I am doing the shots for are 03NAP (UK Special, see attached) DD20, 01MIL, FJ04, TW10 AND DD14....also so you know the DD23 is not far from its reserve..........there goes Dads spending money in New York!
see ya
Bob

FJ04

Just when you think you're out, they pull you back in.

 

[jazzeum]

Forget it brother. You'll have competition on this one.

 

[Eazy]

Yeah i know already. It's the only retired piece i'd go for but it'll go beyond my price range.

I console myself by already having the DAK version and most of the other FJ sets but lets face it you could probably get 2 or 3 new pieces for the price of that one. Nevertheless as an FJ nut it'd be a nice piece to own.

If only i had started collecting K&C earlier. FJ04 was one of the sets i used to look at on the K&C stand at the Birmingham Toy fair and think "Wow that's cool but pretty expensive"

Hey Easy you should of let your mum get it for you! Show her this picture.........for those of you that don't know Easy has the best mum that is so into K&C......and don't think he is a small boy

Bob

having seen tony and yourself the other day i am sure tony would have beat you hands down!

A very good set up you guys have now.

Tony thanks for the other day on your move it was a real pleasure to help and to be able to see the most K&C product in one place that i have ever seen. Shame Mike kept me away from his stash.

Monty

 

[Eazy]

Hey Bob,

Yeah my mom is well into this stuff! I get my collector gene from her. My wife on the other hand would kill me if she had the remotest idea how much these things cost.

Thats why anything i order i mostly get sent to my Mom's address rather than my wife having to sign for it.

 

[jazzeum]

Well, I've shot my wad on FJ 04. Whoever wants it must really want it bad. 140 Pounds and the auction's not over.

 

[Tony Neville]

Yeah brad the FJ04 is looking like a real battle at the moment.

Its as interesting this end as it is yours trust me!!

 

[jazzeum]

Tony,

The battle is over. This colonial is showing the white flag

 

[Tony Neville]

Brad

the funny thing is i beleive the leading bid is an american who is working in the UK at the moment!!!!!

Tony

 

[jazzeum]

His first name is not Benedict is it?

 

[jazzeum]

150 Pounds ($265) with less than a day to go. That's almost the record paid for one of these.

 

[Monty]

FJO4 is on the move!!! it looks like Brad we could have a record on LIVEBID then
