Subbuteo

[Exigeowner]

Is anywhere still selling Subbuteo sets ? Maybe its all a bit old hat but have looked on Toysrus and woolies site and cant seem to find any, Found a couple of small sites that sell second hand sets but want to get something new.

The company was very popular until it suddenly stopped production. The idea was bought by Hasbro and is now making teams again, in the form of flat 'photorealistic' cards on bases, rather than the old-style figures.

Rubbish, thats not Subbuteo! I remember hearing something a while back about it not being popular anymore, but then there was a surge of people buying it again!

The new Hasbro flat figures are very reminiscent of the very first figures;



Very good history site at;

www.littleplasticmen.co.uk

which also has a shop where you can buy custom teams and also blank figures to paint yourself;
