Mandy and i will be there , just look out of a short guy with a fit girl  ;) ;) ::) hollyslovetoys.

The odd couple.  ;)  ;D

Had a phone call yesterday from Farmer Ed who will be there with a lot of the new stuff, he told me that everyone may be warned that prices have increased. We knew this as it's been reported in the model sections of the various mags but Ed said that Universal Hobbies stuff has gone up by as much as 22% on all their models. Siku an average of £2 per model. Wiking have not as yet put up theirs. Ed will however be keeping his prices competitive on his existing stock. The new stuff which he had a delivery of last week, he had to pay the new prices. He asked me to pass this information on to fellow collectors to say don't rush to buy anything before you compare prices of stallholders as some of them may have hiked the increase of prices onto their older stock.  He's a really good guy and likes to help and certainly keeps me informed.

A very good day I thought. A few empty tables but a huge amount of punters. A fair amount of farm related stuff that seemed to be selling very well despite the 'recession', I know that Ed had a very good day selling all the Super 4's he had there, everyone that bought any had the pair. I thought that the new organisers did a good job although it's the stallholders that make it what it is. Nice to meet up with a few of the FTF members, attending  both as punters and stallholders.
