Farthest From II - Fordingbridge, Hampshire

What a great sequel- it was just like Empire Strikes Back.

Thanks to everyone that made it so special once again. :wink:
 
I can only echo what Jez said. Thanks Dave for a great day. Loads of lovely Star Wars stuff. And loved the Micronaughts toys the guy had brought from his late grandmothers collection! Sweet

I never knew Duncan owns the original death star prop from ANH. Wooh.

And Gus brought my Snowspeeder. Chuffed.

Funky day. Cheers Dave.
 
I agree guys it was a great day. Lots of Star Wars chat and a real honour to meet Gus and Duncan. Their knowledge on all things Star Wars is truly incredible and listening to some of their experiences in tracking down items was awesome.

It was great to meet everyone again, some great conversations about vintage and Dave's presentation at the end about the Action Force cross overs with the Star Wars line was really interesting. Some of those action force toys are brilliantly designed!

Here this is the only pic I have from the event. I had my camera most of the day but was so wrapped up in everything that I only decided to use it in the dying stages of the day. I know of the other guys including Chris will hopefully have a load more photos.

Left to right: Duncan Jenkins, Gus Lopez, Myself, Bram, Grant.

Well just got home from another absolutely fantastic weekend. A massive thank you to Dave for organising another epic FF. Great to see Chris, Iain, Jez, Grant, Jamie, Christian, Gary, Scottieboy and Dave again.

Meeting 2 of the biggest collectors Gus and Duncan, 2 superb guys and a pleasure to meet was def the highlight.

Also meeting Bram for the first time, top bloke and could talk to the guy for hours. Looking forward to meeting again.

Will post what pics I took tomorrow. Didnt take many but got a good forum group shot with Gus and Duncan.

Also Jez, another epic sleepover mate, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Jamie, it was Duncan who bought your Snow Speeder and Gus owns the Death Star!!! :D Chris beat me to it!!!
 
Can only echo what the guys have said!

I didn't have any breakfast this morning and it wasn't until 1pm that I actually grabbed something to eat!! To busy talking Star Wars with eevryone and having a great chat with lots of lovely guys.

Great to meet you all...I think we should sort out a meet up at the next Sandown Fair?!

I took my camera but the batteries had died, even though I thought i had charged the second one.

I will not forget Grants face when i told him I was gonna u-grade the Warok I bought - Epic! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't think 10 hours of my life has passed much quiker than today!

Great to meet you all!

Bram

Just got in (bloody long drive!)

Had a great day - massive thanks to Dave for organising it and as per all the other messages it was great to meet with Gus & Duncan - their presentation was fantastic and very informative - as was our very own Mr Chris - who would have thought that you could have bought those three packs ($6.99) for less than a minirig ($8.99)

Also thanks to Jez, Grant and Chris with their help on the stall (and for buying lots from me)

Was great to put some more names to faces - ODB and Lost Soul (also thanks for spending your hard earned)

Really looking forward to the next one and hopefully a few more of the lads can make it down for this
 
Speaking of the next one Dave it'd be very much appreciated if you could give as much notice as possible for work, trains etc.

Thanks
Richard
 
Extremely tired

Extremely grateful to everyone who came

Extremely grateful to Chris, James/ Mark from the Insider and Gus and Duncan

Extremely grateful to the team, Wayne, Carol, Cath, Dean and Chloe.

The second act for something that is turning into a great story, I hope more will come, biggest feedback from last one was hot food, more feedback welcome to make itbetter and better with the resources I have available :)

Didnt take that many photo's as I was having too much fun but took these few.






Also took the video camera with me but forgot to do any recording, sorry Ryan, will def do some filming next time.
 
I had to shoot off early sadly so I missed the last talk, but a good day nevertheless. I do tend to find that there isn't enough time to talk to everyone though.

Its never hard earned with me.
 
That's always the problem when you go to these events DrP. I always have the same problem too, especially if Iain's got a table selling MOC's!!! :lol:
