I've never been to one of these but is anyone going to be there with a stall?

The past few times I’ve been there seem to be more and more tfs for sale. Best to get there early too before the good stuff goes haha

I know Jaydisc and Mattbilby are going to be there with huge TF & third party tables. I’m sharing a table with one of my uni friends because I am downsizing my TF Animated collection lol.

I was there this afternoon helping to set up, the floor space is quite a bit smaller than last time, unfortunately. ATM & Cafeteria on site though!
From what i could see at the tables that were already set up it seems like the usual nerd stuff: Star Wars, tmnt, tfs, aliens, hot wheels, pokemon cards etc.

$5 entry though! Ouch.

Penrith collectormania has snuck up on us again. Haven’t seen any advertising for it, so hope it isn’t dying off completely.

Not sure if I’ll be going, once again a Penrith collectormania falls at the same time as a big family birthday!

Definitely not dying off, all the vendor tables are sold out and the tables for the next fair are nearly sold out as well.

You were certainly right about collectormania!

It was properly full, fairly busy and seemed to be doing a fair trade in sales.
The reptile show a few months back was busier, but this was very impressive.

I didn't buy anything (could've though!) but the young one was very happy with how she spent her leftover holiday cash from the grandparents!

I saw that and thought that it used to be cheaper. I guess the new temporary location costs a lot more to hire.

Justowen and I should be checking it out tomorrow, since this one is closer.
