Doncaster Toyfair

Today the 26th July saw Time Was... back at one of favourite and friendliest fairs at Doncaster Racecourse, hosted by Mike Bishop of Toyman Displays and of course MBToyfairs. It was a very good day as well. We did a very good trade in our new products, Torchwood Wave 2, Terminator Salvation, new fairies and also Wolverine X-Men figures, which are so new that we haven't yet had time to get them on the website!! Some old favourites also did well, Product Enterprise's Eagles and SHADO Mobiles and Supercars. All in all a good day.

Mike got the folks through the door yet again, although this time they were more into the toys than the fantasy items, but they were prepared to part with their hard earned cash.

I didn't quite find any bargains for ourselves though, probably because all the bargains were on our stall, just kidding!!

Still we are gearing up for the Dalek Invasion at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton in a fortnights time. Despite it being a long way from Doncaster the flyers for the Invasion we put out soon went!!!

Ohh and I can't tell you what Mike asked Jackie, but he blushed after getting a suitable response!!

Back to the toyfairs

Bad news all round - Torrential rain, saw aftermath of accident on M69, not many folks, traders or punters at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, Tom Watson lost in the play-off at Turnberry, England can't snaffle out the Aussies at Lords, no more toyfairs at the Ricoh and finally my pen ran out!!! The drama!!!

Despite the downsides we did manage to do a wee bit of trade though I couldn't find that elusive bargain, and it didn't help when another trader mentioned he'd picked up a mint condition Product Enterprise UFO & Interceptor for just a fiver at a car boot, whaaaaaaat don't folks know the value of these things at car boots and why don't I ever see them???? Perhaps not going to car boots may have something to do with it.

Still it's Doncaster next week, then Spalding and then the Big 'un at Yeovilton Fleet Air Arm Museum, the annual Dalek Invasion only this time it's over two days. So we still have fairs to go to despite the loss of the Ricoh. We've already lost Donnington to something called F1, whatever that is??

Oh by the way did I mention we have the new Torchwood figures in stock now? Ianto, Tashiko, Captain John and the Blowfish, but you'll have to hurry they're going fast!

Peterborough Toy Fair

Back at the Cresset Centre in Peterborough for a Toy Fair hosted by Barry Potter. One of Barry's smaller fairs today, July 5th and there seemed to be a smaller turnout of traders and buyers. Could that be because it was nice sunny day?? Well until it chucked it down with rain just at the time of packing up and leaving, typical!! Could it have been because of the Air Show at RAF Waddington not too far away, which would have drawn thousands?? Could it have been due to the Mens Singles Final at Wimbledon?? Though that didn't end until early evening after an epic battle between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick!!

Whatever the reason the toy buyers just weren't at the fair, one sale of a Cybermen collect and build set was all we had on that side. But the fairys were let loose with a force, our Fairy and Fantasy range at Time Was... went down a treat.

So all in all not too bad a day, despite the rains best efforts to soak us.

Oh and congratulations to Roger Federer!!
