    Any UK members making the trip to Memorabilia in Birmingham this weekend?

    I'm heading down for Saturday. It'd be good to try and meet up with anyone if you are going. Memorabilia - Home

    I may be going depending on a toy sale Paul, I'll let you know closer to the day. Do they have a lot of good toy stalls?

        Bill. It's a few years since I last went, but they always had a really good cross section of stuff. A lot of comics, trading cards and modern toy stuff, but there was always a lot of the old stuff as well.

                  I've mixed up my shows unfortunately, I was thinking of one in December. I would have actually loved to have come up to the NEC this Saturday but time won't permit.

                  Hope you have a great time guys.

                    got some pics coming up of the show

                    sadly didnt meet anyone from here, after asking 10 random folks with pony tails are you englishpaul the mego forums i gave up lol... i hear you had snow up there so maybe you didnt make it?

                    the show was good, the turn out was poor... my takings therefore were extremly poor!

                    £300 / $600+ overheads... and i took £500 / $1000+
                    that is a total waste of my time and effort
                    ah well i came home with some gems that didnt sell so keep a look out here and on ebay guys

                    met henry wRinkler... he was a knob... didnt have any time and barely said a word
                    let alone "hey"... barely raised a smile the miserable git

                    got him to sign my fonze boxed doll that i got off brue so all was good

                    ok guys lots of pics here so sorry if your net is slow... took some dr who stuff for you guys as i know you love a bit of who and lots of star wars of course

                    the pics of the star wars toys are of my mates stall, he had some very nice high grade afa stuff on show

                      Sorry the overall haul was not worth your time and efforts, but it looked like fun from here

                          Did anybody show up in ape regalia???

                          Bummer that it wasn't a very lucrative show for you. I heard a lot of that in the last toy show I went to with HardyGirl.
