Leipzig Toy Fair "Modell Hobby Spiel" Trip 2016

[Sir_Matchbox_96]

Thanks for your kind comments!
I'am glad you found a model without being present in Leipzig, Marcel!

Kay had (or has) many nice items for sale. As his companion I was lucky enough to be the first having a look on his models. I found some nice pieces for my collection!
Here is Kay's corner at Leipzigs Toy Fair:







As I mentioned earlier in this thread, Carsten Oettler from "Cars and Boxes" had a stall, too. It was not included in Dirk Schleuer's large matchbox section, but it was just behind a dividing wall, so it was not thaaat far to go
He had a large number of RW and SF and it was fun going through his baskets! I found many models at Carsten Oettlers stall:











Greetings,
Linus

I went to the Leipzig Messe for this event in 2008 and 2010. I was set to go every two years but my passport ran out and I saw no incentive other than this show to renew it.
A good yet cheap hotel (with good rail and tram links as well as some decent restaurants) is the Plagwitzer Hof on the Gießerstraße http://www.plagwitzer-hof.de/

thank you for more great photos.
That's a very very rare 1962 set with green Spyker pictured on top of the box, hardly seen for sale this set.
It took me years to find one. It was only available in 1962. The 1963 set has a yellow Spyker pictured on the box lid and has slighty different contents inside.
