NEC TOY FAIR BIRMINGHAM

[JimboUK1979]

What cond. was the scout walker in? £2.00 is bloody good going, great find.

 

[Vialli]

There was a decent amount of vintage I thought, it's got so much better compared to the previous couple of years. Picked up a few bits including a fantastic condition complete loose imperial troop transporter, always wanted one when I was a kid and was delighted to pick it up for £15.
I'll definitely be there on the 27th.

 

[SublevelStudios]

Yes, another good show, but whilst I was walking round, I couldn't help think about how much bigger and better it used to be, literally twice the size, took up 2 halls and the amount of vintage SW dealers there were was incredible.

 

[Vialli]

Yes you're right SublevelStudios, it used to be an enormous event. It would take 4/5 hours just to walk round it ! Nowadays i'm all done and dusted in half the time.

@JimboUK1979 Thanks it was actually pretty good was hardly yellow was missing the round hatch, the gun the under part and one of the side guns was snapped but the walking movement worked really well and has all the original stickers stands really well.

I've got the green light from S.W.M.B.O for the 27th, looking forward to it as it will be my first ever toy fair!

 

[lejackal]

Anyone else going to this on Sunday?

 

[StarWarsFan]

Wish I could but to far to travel

 

[tobedesu]

I would have gone but have to work. Will go to the one next February though.
Earlier this year I went to the one in Ryton, Cov.
Not much SW stuff. One guy had a few carded figures.
I picked up a complete Tazo set for a few quid with a Millenium Falcon that transforms into Chewbacca or something. Both for £4.
At Ryton it was mostly cars and trains.

Lejackal, be a pleasure to have you along to the next one in January, check the threads mate, the 16th.

Just look for the bald headed fella in a biker jacket and combats, the one with the truly menacing stare, you can't miss him.
