Is anyone going to the Lostwithiel Toy Fair on the 26th?? (Or has been before?)

[STRIKEMEDOWN]

I was thinking about going to this on Sunday. I've never been to a toy fair before so I'm not sure what to expect. It looks well established but i was wondering if anyone has been before or is going to this and has any adivice?

I'm not going but wouldn't mind going one day. It's about 2 hours for me. Let me know if you go and what it's like. Are you from Cornwall @STRIKEMEDOWN ?

You mean the best place in the world? Yeah I've been here most of my life, how about you?

I grew up in west Cornwall and moved away in 2009. Go back often, my parents still live near PZ.

I have friends that way. I'm up in Newquay normally but living away from home while I'm at Uni.

I did end up going today. The fair was quite small, so probably a good one for me to have started off at, mostly trains and car models but there were a couple people selling Lego Star Wars Minifigures and a few action figures. I bought a couple 'The Art Of' books (Episode 1 and 2) from a guy with a shop in Plymouth and called it a day. One guy was selling a collectors series han and luke in stormtrooper armour which I loved but couldn't afford. all in all, had a few nice conversations and got a name on the list of shops to visit!

I don't think so, I didn't catch his name when I was there, but his business card says Graham Baker. His shop is called The Tusken Trader and he said he's down by the Barbican.
