Well done, feller. Nice Watt.

Nice haul eddie,

It's amazing what one can find if you're not there to hover every thing up Eddie
Thanks Chop, that was an unexpected one finding him in a large box of mainly custom fodder figures.
The N.E.C. toy fairs a great place to find bargains,:AFLogo: stuffs very thin on the ground, most of these came from one stall, the guy had a plastic storage box of tatty figures for £1 each, mostly the same old figures with a few hidden gems mixed in.
Another stall holder had a fair bit of mint carded mostly & weapons packs, but he was asking far too much for his loose stuff, 2 loose complete 's admittedly in top condition for £10 each & one equally nice & complete for £5.50.
One stall had a (rough) boxed ex shop stock Triad fighter, that had all its bits 'n' pieces & stickers still in the bags for £35,sadly was missing.Should I have got it?

Still the thing I like about the show is the large variety of items available, every sort of old toy you can imagine, & it's only a £5.50 entry fee with free parking, O.K. so there isn't as much going on as you get @ the Memorabilia shows ,like entertainment & star signings, but I don't think I'd of gotten so this much toyage for a little over £21 including entry which is all the day cost (not including travel expenses) & lets face it I like many other have probably paid a lot more than that for one toy @ Memorabilia in the past.

Bloody superb!!! Especially the Fisher Price Adventure People! As you may remember I am a huge fan and a collector myself. I really dig those foxy 70s chics!!!

[Red Laser]

So is Memorabilia a very expensive day overall? I am not exactly sure how much to have with me.

Thanks for the feedback T-S! I appreciate reading this as I like to know what was on offer. I might have been tempted to offer £28 for the boxed Triad if I'd been there. I might go to the next toy fair, when is it?

Cheers,
