Due to the weather, and the absence from Sandown of Vectis whom I was to collect auction wins from (and no doubt many other traders) I will not be there. See you all in May hopefully.

I went to Sandown today. Needless to say, attendance was down for both buyers and sellers, but I was surprised how many people did manage to get there. The roads were all fine for me - the only road still snowy being the side road where I live, and there was a patch of fog on the M3. By the time I left Sandown the snow was fast disappearing. Obviously lots of people had much worse conditions to contend with.

I'm glad I went, especially as a local toyfair scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled.

This is a little late, but only this morning the Potters Bar toy fair has had to be cancelled due to bad weather.

Hi All, A good day at the NEC. I had only been in the hall a couple of minutes & managed to pick up a mint Dennis Fire Escape, gold trim, plastic wheels. Next find was a Ford Zodiac, tan interior. Spoke to a couple of our members, quite a few super fast about, also managed to pick up a Citroen Estate silver base, very light blue. Had a word with John Moore who is feeling a bit better now. This was about the best NEC i have had for years. Pete.

No disrespect to any other dealers out there on the circuit, but John Moore is the man to go to for stunning condition matchbox models and will be attending the Windsor Toy Fair this coming Saturday May the 5th.

I also have the very popular working model railway layout again and a Triang minic motorway layout should be attending. Add to this all the regular collectibles and your likely to have a great day at Windsor!
