[Dark Sith Lord]

[Hothrebel]

Are their any other forum members that will be having a table ?

I'll be going - go every year. It's changed A LOT over recent years though.

The guest list used to be AMAZING but it's almost a joke now. Collectormania is by far the better show for guests, but Memorabilia is better for buying stuff.

I'll be taking my 4 year old son for the first time on Sunday. He's looking forward to seeing all the Stormtroopers!

I'll be looking for a couple of vintage pieces, a loose R2 solid dome and a mint boxed Twin Pod Cloud Car are top of the list!

 

[Lee Gregory]

Nowhere near as big or grand and it used to be,but I go with the mindset of not really expecting to find anything I want,and then I aint disappointed.
Still a top day out though,always good to meet up with fellow collector's and forum members alike.

I'll be there on the Sunday.

 

[Rebel_Runner]

Me & the Mrs will be heading up there with some walking around money on the Sunday... my last spending spree before FF4.

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

Did anyone attend today?

Unfortunately I was busy

Any good for vintage?

 

[Doomseeker]

Very poor I thought for vintage.
The busiest I've ever seen memorabilia. ..probably due to the new comic con aspect.
Got to meet and chat to Jordan The Toy Hunter which was cool.
Starzone had some amazing Palitoy boxed items but very expensive.
Made a mini pilgrimage to Coalville and the old Palitoy factory which was awesome.
First year I've ever been to memorabilia and didnt buy a single thing....some crazy prices for loose figures £25 for a loose Stormtrooper. Lovely carded wind up r2d2. ..but was about £1300

 

[andy x-wing pilot]

There wasnt that much SW Vintage kicking around but Darren`s pitch had some awesome Palitoy items on.
It was a very busy day and my 5 year old loved the Robot Wars and sitting in the Landspeeder.
The Imperial March just outside the hall about 2pm was awesome to see with Vader leading it and about 50 or more characters following him.
FF4 is the place to get to in December for loads of SW Vintage guys.

Went today with my 4 year old son who loved it. Great to see so many old faces, and to see the Toy Hunter himself, I was sorely tempted to buy the Micro Collection Snowspeeder from him. The best item there was on his stall too - the Lyons Maid ice cream display graphic. Vac formed plastic with a SW lolly, Superman lolly and a 6 Million $ man lolly advert. Stunning. And so it should be for £2500!!! It had decorated the wall of somebodys kitchen for years. I doubt you'll ever see another one.

The show has changed so much over the years, which I guess it has to, but I really miss the days when it was run by Henry Cook - he knew how to run a show.

In all, an ok day out.

 

[spoons]

There was less vintage than normal but still enough - Darren did have some superb items as did Jim Stevenson. Shame he wouldn't split his die cast Palitoys. They were reasonably priced too.

Bought the micro gantry off Jordan, when I got home the gantry was missing a piece - daylight robbery from Hemborough :lol:

I was a bit star struck and didn't open the box until I got home

Found Jordan a bit stand offish but his crew were all very friendly, and with a bit of luck my son and I will be on Series 3

The record and toy guy from Reading said that they did a lot of filming at his shop - looking forward to seeing the UK episode

The kids all loved it, we ended up spending most of the day hunting down doctor who figs, always a good day.

M best item was a boxed Playmobil R2 knock off - very cool

Good to see Dave Tree, who is always up for a chat and ill have to make FF one of these days, a b&b an beers may be in order

 

[Doomseeker]

I found Jordan to be really nice and accommodating but to fair I was talking to him at about 9:30 on the saturday morning and they weren't film yet. Chatted to him for about 10 mins and got a picture with him...nice guy but he did look really busy every other time I saw him
