Sunday the 18th took Time Was... to Lincoln Toyfair organised by J & J Webb Toyfairs. A slightly overcast day with a steady drizzle not just of rain but customers as well. Surprisingly quite a few regular traders were missing, but more importantly quite a few customers were missing, but then again some of the schools have broken up, maybe some folks had flown off to the sunnier climes of Skegness.
Despite the new range of Doctor Who figures (also available at Time Was... The Buttermarket, Newark, Notts) catching the eye of folks, especially the Eleven Doctor Set, no-one decided to part with their hard-earned cash on them, but instead took a few of the older figures as well as some stalwarts from the world of Star Trek & Captain Scarlet. It was the Corgi models that sold, perhaps because Corgi no longer make them.
The fairy & fantasy figures also had a fair day, but with some of our regular customers missing it was good to see that they still sold ok.
Despite everything we had a fairly decent day, just a few sales shy of a good day and even more sales shy of an excellent day. But onwards and upwards its Doncaster Toyfair on the 25th. Hopefully we'll see you there.
