we will have to get you down a bit further to Sandown ( much better venue IMHO)....if you can handle the climate change
Reg I plan to retire in 4 years and Sandown is in my plans my friend. It is just that bit too far at the moment with work 'n' all. Funnily enough I recon ZBret and Marcel are closer to Sandown than I am and they live abroad!!!
HAHA, I won't be there this time though.......
Please post some photos of your finds and the small collectormeeting at the restaurant.....
Gary Galvin should be there and will collect some old Vectis catalogues for me.
Hi All Another trip to Sandown Toy fair, packed with people, not much stuff about. Did managed to pick up a Gold Bora mint in a mint box, F2 super fast Grey Hound Coach, mint in a near mint box & Hot Rocker (orange) mint in a mint box. A lot of empty tables again & a lot of dear stuff Pete.

At least you didn't come away empty handed Peter sounds like you found some very nice Superfasts mate.
Hi Motorman, I was very pleased its so hard when you are looking for really mint things. Once again dozens of new traders that i have not seen before trying to sell over priced matchbox. Vectis had a few items from their next auction Pete.
It's Sandown Park though Pete, everything has to be overpriced as us mugs will pay it, well that's there logic anyway 75% of traders live in a fantasy world with there pricing while the other 25% are more realistic. I had a good day, didn't buy much but my lad helped me empty my pockets.
I think I gave you a hand emptying them....if you got it
And a nice playworn 2 tone hatra was found too but sadly not by me......and I can't say by who
Just back from the Falkirk swap meet and picked up nothing. So disappointed after picking up that wonderful pair last month. I hope this isn't the start of a poor streak.
Is anybody else going to the Carlisle swap meet next Sunday? I will be there with my son Dylan so feel free to say hello if you go......I don't bite
