Saw a few photos on Facebook, looked great! Does anybody know who's stall it was with the tri-logo Luke Hoth?

Looked like Andy's (Andy X0-Wing)

Cool thanks Iain!

Fantastic weekend and great to meet some of the members. Thanks to all for being so welcoming...see you in the future.

Thank you all for this fun weekend.
Thank you also for making me feel miserable after comparing my collection with yours! I felt like a rebel in Lothal. :lol:
I saw so many Luke X-Wings today, and 507 loose jawas? we could take over the whole Celebration with that army! perhaps even kidnapping J.J. for a panel in the next FF...

Thank you mister Skinner for the lift, very much appreciated.
Great talk with my roomate, mr Richard. Take note Pete, the bar is high. You are gonna need to give me some love in Anaheim... on a second thought, save the love for the speed dates :lol:

This FF won´t be my last. Nice a cosy even you guys have there. It is your fault that I got the bug for vintage collecting again... now I need to bring more money to L.A.!

I'll get some photos up shortly. Felt rough today but think its been my best FF so far.

Met up with the guys which is always great. Saw a few amazing things. Anyone who gazed into Nick's bag of delights will no doubt still be gob smacked :shock: double shocker! :shock: :shock:

Great show as always.

Good to meet a lot of the usual lads again.

And at least I didn't find Grant slumped on a wall outside Fordingbridge's petrol station in the early hours of the morning!

Another great weekend. Well done to Dave and all involved.

Dave Tree's 3PO scrap yard :?

Some nice displays here

 

[sith-smith]

Here's a picture of my table...

Which is nothing now compared to what it used to be...

Keep in mind that on that second picture, which is at Memorabilia, is only a small fraction of what I had for sale (ie only one shuttle etc)

On the first picture is absolutely everything I have left to sell, Just shows what a great show this is as it has almost completely cleared me out. Have sold more in one day than I have ever sold in an entire weekend at Memorabilia.

Awesome stuff Dave! 8)

 

[spoons]

fantastic photos chaps - gutted to have missed it

Who had the display? It looks great 8)

Thank you all who came yesterday, supported the show either as a punter or dealer, to those who helped out too and to those that have helped spread the word through their own channels, reposting facebook updates, newsletters, retweets etc.
Special thanks to Jez and Jason for their presentations and taking time to share their experiences.

I am always left with mixed feelings after each show and this one in particular there are a few things I would like to address for the next show, but I would like to say that other than trying to maintain the quality vintage intent at the show, I am reluctant to dictate what is and isn't available at the show. Whilst there are several 'trendy' topics of late, the show has always had a responsibility to educate and promote the positive practice of toy collecting as a state of mind and ethic, rather than what's trending. It is that way that collecting tastes change for the better and the market adjusts to reflect that demand.

Working across various toy collector communities, each one has their own traits, pro's and cons, but Star Wars is the one that is most fragmented and rife with one up man ship, be it within collecting, forums Vs facebook or even with facebook Vs facebook. The fragmentation and attitude is the problem rather than what is available for sale or what someone buys.

Farthest From does not need to conform to a standard which was always there in the first place.

I'm not sure I understand Dave.

What was the criticism.

I didn't notice anything unusual from any other FF.
