Glad you liked the Plymouth.

What you can't see from the pics is the 1000ish models behind the stall.
We're just wondering whether to go the NEC too.
I hope you do decide to make it to the NEC as i am heading down there on the 27th, it would be great to meet up and have a good look around your table in detail.

Before the NEC, there is a smaller event in Windsor on Saturday 26th September, this is my local toy fair and the event I first met our Nick, "Nearlymint" and I believe "YYS4BOB", so all the right people hang out here...!

Hi all just got back from Sandown, nightmare traffic crash on junction 11 took us an hour to get through that. Toy fair very poor for me, just picked up a couple mauve & orange zodiac it was there last year & too dear, managed to get £25 0ff it, & number 4 tractor no mud guards. Once again many empty tables, dealers trying to sell the same old stuff. Met the Fixer & Tim, had a chat with Graham. Vectis had some of the Superfast which is in their October auction, some mind blowing colours I think they will be out of my pocket money. Looking forward to the NEC. Pete

I took a friend of mine who collects newer Corgi and the odd old one and he was shocked at some of the prices for some of the common models, don't these dealers follow market trends ? See lots of stuff I could have bought but not at some of the prices being quoted, saying that there are still some bargains.
