Anyone find anything?
A reasonable amount of Vintage, some really nice MOCs and nice boxed ships and playsets, no bargains though.
Lots of modern and some great Lego, especially on Robs table.
More importantly had a great catch up with like minded friends, great morning!
Thanks guys.

Like Nick says, worth the trip if only to have a catch up and gander at some items. Good chatting with Rob and Pete too. Rob, I apologise on behalf of Nick wasting so much of your time over the Lego. :wink:

There was also the chance to take a close look at the Palitoy prototypes on Vectis' stand today among some of the other MOCs coming up in the next sale. We had to apologise however for leaving drool all over the cabinet, but fantastic to see these pieces of history up close.

And that's probably as close as I'm ever going to get to them, so well worth the trip!

It was inevitable, just a matter of being convinced I needed another piece of Lego in my life! :lol:
Now all I have to do is convince my wife!

I went for a bit , seems like most of the stuff is overpriced , one stall had a lot of boxed items I need which is a shame as it was just too pricey, didn't look like he was selling any of it either, people moan about eBay but at least you can pick things up at decent prices sometimes, was good to see some old scalextrix stuff though.

I find this now with toy fairs. Found an AT-AT Driver at a recent one- it had been badly chewed up by a dog and was almost unrecognizable, yet the dealer wanted a fiver. There was another dealer selling loose, incomplete figures such as IG88 for £20 each. Utter nonsense. Better bargains on Ebay for sure.

Events like Farthest From & Echo Live are by far the best places to buy though.
