Brentwood Toy Fair Jan 2017

[Mini99]

I used to go to this fair in the 90's and from memory this used to be good for vintage Star Wars, the next one is Jan 14 2017.
Does anyone here go to this fair, and if so is it good for vintage moc etc?
Is there anywhere else in the southern east that is worth going to, the internet is good, but there is nothing like having the item you are buying "in hand" and talking to like minded people.
Thanks

I was just thinking this... Buying stuff online is fine but I really enjoyed FF where you could get out and have a proper look at what's on offer. Can anyone recommend any great shows coming up?

Doncaster Toy fair.

 

[Darth Bobby]

Gonna definitely try for Scarborough

 

[Mini99]

Isn't there anything in the south east anymore, most of the fairs that are mentioned are too far to travel are the midlands or further north, Scarborough and Doncaster are a bit of a trek. :?
Thanks.

Hi Rob,

Oh right fair enough. Think may have heard it thinking about it.

Went to this toy fair on Saturday, as I was in the area, to anyone looking just for Star Wars items, I would give it a miss.
Very very little vintage, a few loose figures only, not bad for diecast if you collect that as well.
Thinking about giving Sandown park in March a go.
