New Years Eve saw Time Was... at Doncaster Racecourse, not for the off but for another excellent toyfair organised by Mike Bishop of MB Toyfairs. After a little bit of a slow start the buyers descended onto our stall, though not to the Fairy and Fantasy side of things. They were after good old, well new actually, toys. In particular Star Wars and Star Trek, two hardy perennials!! Sounds a bit like gardening to me.
So Doncaster made up for the Lincoln Toyfair on Monday, which unfortunately wasn't the hoped for spending of Christmas monies. Today after a leisurely get up, following the fireworks that all our neighbours seemed to have to celebrate the New Year that lit up the night sky, we decided to go to the Newark Toyfair as buyers and not sellers. Unfortunately we didn't buy anything - is that hypocritical of us???
Anyway let's hope that the New Year brings an end to the recession that those kind bankers gave us all, so that things pick up. It has been a bit disappointing this year both in the shop, at Toyfairs and on-line, ohh that's three disappointments.
But are we downhearted?? No we're not. There's new Doctor Who items in the pipeline ready for the Eleventh Doctor, but that's all hush-hush at the moment, so lips are sealed. Then there will be evn more from the world of sci-fi for example from Avatar and the Prince of Persia and possibly a new Ghostbusters on the way. Not to mention the wargaming and role-playing goodies that are soon to be coming out. All-in-all things look better for 2010.
