A row of shops and I specifically remember one of them was a greengrocers with lots of little oranges stacked up outside. I'd love to find a picture of it! It was 80s/90s...

Were they cardboard or plastic?

You've jogged a VERY vague memory there ..... i think i had something similar at one of my nan's houses.

Was it Smart Street by Fisher Price?

HmmmDidntKnowThat · 25/11/2023 15:57

It was plastic and no not the link or fisher price. I'm starting to think it was just a random one off toy as I can't find the fucker anywhere! I've wondered about it for years. The little oranges were fixed / built in. One of the other shops may have been a little post office. It was so cute!

Could it be ELC Happy Street or Happyland?

Was it Oh Penny?

Any thing else to give us a lead?

That's a blast from the past .. I think you right there was a little greengrocers in the shopping centre .. I used to love my oh penny toys completely forgot all about them until now 😂

I think I do. A bit like the a la carte kitchen rather then small figures?

HmmmDidntKnowThat · 25/11/2023 17:34

It was definitely a whole row of shops. Like a street rather than just a cart

Do you have any other information? For example:

Approximate size
Any figures included
Were the shops joined or separate
Colour of shops

We had this which sounds similar: Main Street

Size I would say two thirds of a foot. No figures included. Shops were definitely joined. Perhaps could have included a pavement. No idea about colour. I'm wondering if it was just a random toy that my parents bought at a boot sale or something with bits missing. I specifically remember the oranges because I used to run my fingers across them. It might have included one of those fabric roofs that are in stripes across greengrocers if that makes sense? It was literally a row of shops. Each shop had it's own sign. For example "Smiths" or something like that.

It definitely did not include any slides

God I'd forgotten about that Oh Penny set! I had that! I loved it!

ChishiyaBat · 25/11/2023 20:19

Was it a tub town toy? I'm so far down the rabbit hole looking for your town now😂.
