Can you get me from Kent please

 

[Richard_H]

It'd be easier if you mailed yourself. Your size..... royal mail small parcel is £2.80

Try the augustus. Failing that, Jason has used some smaller independent places in the past mate.

Alternatively, someone may be able to sort you out with a spare bed.

Augustus John booked. Website says full and prices from £80 which is rubbish. B&B booked for £50


It has just occurred to me that Mr Tree hasn't 100% confirmed this has he? :?

Very good point, don't think he realised just how much everyone wants to learn about bend ems, think looking at the turn out it will be this weekend now, otherwise he's going to have a lot of people hanging about in his shop that Sunday.

I'm not driving 250 miles just to look at Dave's My Little Pony collection :lol:

 

[Stuart Skinner]

I like it when Dave gets his little pony out

 

[Richard_H]

I thought it died :lol:

Oh I realize alright, it's just taken others so long to notice

I'm not driving 250 miles just to look at Dave's My Little Pony collection :lol:

some people have - genuinely, but that was to view some original airbrush packaging artwork.

However the record for greatest distance traveled to come to the shop - to my knowledge - is Pedro Gallego from Madrid, travelling by combination of train, Eurostar and bus to here. He is a G.I. Joe collector who wanted to meet and interview me.

It is fascinating how different collector communities react though

I have a pack of bendems. Can we do a show and tell after your talk?

[David Tree]

Speaking of Bend Ems, here is the official call out for presentation submissions.

Each show we have had an awesome insight into different areas of collecting, some general, some focused, some niche and others personal.
It really does not matter what the subject is, as long as it is Star Wars related within the original trilogy release (unless otherwise stated, ie. Collecting During The 90's).

We have two already lined up for the next show,

The Missing Link, Bend Em's - the forgotten vanguard of modern collecting.
Focus Collecting Luke X-Wing.

So if you feel like giving Richard and Grant a break and stepping up to the plate, go for it. Many of you have amazing collections, interests, memories and experiences, so give folks a chance to share that with you
