You know when people say to you "Oh, but I'm 21 inside"? They have their own internal age setting?

I've been 66 inside since I was 16.

However, 54 is a pretty small sample out of 1,387 members. All the rest may be teenagers.  ;)

In think the actual purchasers are not the kids but their parents, uncles and grand parents.  What 12 or 15 year old do you know that could afford figures at £10-15 a pop, unless they are into something illegal?

Good point. Do we suspect the "end users" are in that age band? Certainly the staff seem to be.

I suspect the GW end-user's age range fits with H G Wells description of the target audience for "Little Wars"

"... boys of every age from twelve to one hundred and fifty – and even later if the limbs remain sufficiently supple – by girls of the better sort, and by a few rare and gifted women." :)

That reminds me of when my  15 Year old Daughter wanted a pair of Dr Marten boots for her birthday last year. We went to the Dr Martens shop in the shopping centre,  As we walked in I realised that my own boots were older than any of the staff!
