List of Australian Collectable Fairs/Conventions

^^^ totally agree with U.Magnus...

the lady with the fake dinobots gave me her card, her shop is somewhere near eaglemont station or something? not that i'd buy off her...she blatantly sells ko's.

at the other stall, i was looking at a loose G1 thundercracker, asked how much....told $90. upon closer inpection i realised it was a reissue, then when i quizzed the dude.....all of a sudden it was $45.

dissappointing for the most part, but i was happy with a couple of things though...

* i was able to spot a whole bunch of ko's
* i could differentiate reissue vs G1 loose toys
* i could tell everything was massively overpriced
* my wife and i had a nice little stroll around....

Ha nice janda, we should try and be organised and maybe organise a meet there next time.

[janda the red]

yeah....i'd be up for that, be good to meet a few people

Is there anything that can be done with those people that sell KOs or reissues as G1 etc at these stalls? Like banning them from the events?

Perth is lame

Please tell me that isn't the shop underneath the ramp up to Eaglemont Station that also sells Millitaria. I so then I majorly dodged a bullet there.

I'm thinking of going to the sandown collectors fair and just have a couple of questions for those that have been to previous ones. Do they have many sellers selling comics? Do they have any one selling transformers
