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 :AFLogo: mostly :zforce: & weapons packs, but he was asking far too much for his loose stuff, 2 loose complete :shadow:'s admittedly in top condition for £10 each & one equally nice & complete :kraken: for £5.50.
One stall had a (rough) boxed ex shop stock :af: Triad fighter, that had all its bits 'n' pieces & stickers still in the bags for £35,sadly :moondancer2: 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.

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,
