Collectormania Fair dates for 2014

[Bartrim]

How was it?

The Damned and I went to the Canberra fair yesterday. It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!







Nah just kidding. There was only about 10-12 tables there. One guy selling some Generations stuff and a MP-02 Ultra Magnus with some paint wear for $60. Talking to the guy running the fair apparently the one in Penrith on July 13 is going to be big. Over 200 stalls, the 88-89 Batmobile, cosplay comps, and possibly a V8 Supercar driver or NRL player to sign autographs among over things.

The few time that i've attended the Penrith Fair, i found it to be geared very heavily towards the Hot Wheels/Model Cars etc audience. I did pick up a TF or two, but there was nowhere near enough compared to what the old Parra Fair had to offer

thinking of checking out the Hornsby one this Sunday though, need some sort of collector fix... however small it may be

So I went out to Hornsby fair to check it out this morning.
Got there at 8.55 thinking I would be back of line and when I got the hall there where 6 people there yes 6 people
It was quite small but I pretty much had free reign to dig through stuff

Picked up a few loose TFs and some MOTU classics and some more MASK so not a bad effort for $42

The organiser was apologising to people for the tiny turn out and was saying the last 2 Collectormanias have been flat out embarrassing so there may be an issue with the sustainability of this fair as well.
Hopefully Penrith one picks up for our sake.

On a side note Parra town hall is being renovated and they are not taking bookings for at least 12 months one of the stall holders told me
