November Acquisitions.

What other toys were there at the penrith fair? is it just like Parra fair?

There was alot of die cast cars, coka cola merch, and various other things like disney statues and such. It has a bigger area, but it caters for more more die cast collectors, whereas Parra is a wide variety of things.

lets go next time 'CARPOOL!' im curious what they have there. Do they have alot of DC and Marvel figures as well?

There were some really old Superman and other comics, some Marvel cards (all from the guy with the TFs) but thats about it. Don't think I saw many DC and Marvel figures, it was mainly die cast cars and stuff. Was good to check out, but we were in and outta there in less than an hour. It was air conditioned, which made us stay longer haha.

Was it in Panthers itself, or did they put up the air conditioned tent over near the aqua golf?

I'm not sure if this is quarterly or if it is on every 6 months, as Az said it is poorly advertised.

I'd go to the next Penriff Fair if it doesn't clash with the Parra Fair. If they're going to keep clashing then I'm gonna choose Parramatta.

Yea it was in the big tent near aqua golf (never actually done that yet) I think that we should organise something like that for the next one, go to that fair and then aqua golf, would be fun.

I should have spoken to them about it while I was there, I think they had flyers but I didn't grab one, forgot to before we left. I'll try and find out when the next one is on or at least speak to them. If I call up Panthers or Penrith Council or something, they should know how to contact them or when the next one is on.

Last time I remember it being on, it clashed with the Parra Fair, even the guy I got the stuff from said it was stupid that it clashed. They need to work together to better organise when it's on. Parra wins for me each time, but because I gotta go back out that way anyway, I figure I would stop in.

Got HA Bumblebee for my birthday as well as Alliance comic book (the thick one with all the issues- Im not a big comic book person so i dont know what youd call that).

At the SA meet i got a Classics Astrotrain from Jaisun and a G2 Slag from Gutsman.

I bought a Cybertron figure off my nephew at his garage sale- the figures name i have forgotten. Gutsman Heavy did tell me...

The figure was Cannonball?, the thick comic is known as a TPB (Trade Paper Back) and lastly HAPPY BIRTHDAY

you don't even need to work together necessarily... just be aware that there's another Fair and try to avoid clashing dates! When I organised Sabretron 2004 I tried to make sure that it didn't clash with any other conventions, which wasn't easy and in the end we ran just one week after Animania. But at least there was that 1 week gap; Sabretron 2004 didn't directly conflict with any other conventions afaik. The Parramatta Fair has their dates set out _well_ in advance which are advertised on their web site.
