Hi Guys

As time is flying this year i thought i would start a Winter Memorabilia Thread for the event held on the 20-21 November 2010 at the NEC in Birmingham. - http://www.memorabilia.co.uk/

I really hope to make it down there this year and get to meet up with as many people as possible Therefore im gonna start saving in advance and plan ahead this time!

On a side note we have quite a few lads from the North East on board and i had the pleasure of meeting Andy in person are the Darlington car boot sale last sunday so was thinking is anybody up for the idea of a car share down and getting a travel lodge or similar for the Saturday Night allowing us to go to both days?

Cheers Jay

I will probably be going Jay, not sure if I will stay over yet.

It is also Collectormania the weekend after in London.

i quite fancy the idea of a trip down there, i doubt very much wether i will be stopping over though,

more than willing to car share if others from north east interested

Jay thats the first time ive ever been called a pleasure to meet its usually another word beggining with p

Andy

I should be there, i only live 5 miles away

I have alwayS wanted to go to this event!!!

2 options for me:

I may have found a new focus by then and be back in the game.

Go anyway and meet up with some of you and have a beer or 10 :idea:

If i am not around much can someone message me a few weeks before.

Thanks
steve

how far is that from london

or would it be better to fly there

and how do you compare that to lfcc

more toy's then comics probebly , but is it bigger, has anyone been to both lfcc and this one

T.I.A.

Defo going to it. i went to the last 1 in March time and was a bit disappointed TBH but the Xmas 1 is a lot bigger.

Although I'm moving next week, I will be back in Brum for a while in November and attending Memorabilia at the NEC.

I went to the Spring Mem early this year and it was ace imo! There was a fair bit of vintage but most people say the November has more vintage.

Be cool if some of us TIGers could meet up

if its up to me i wont miss it

specialy if stu is going to be there aswell

trooping or not

Sounds like somthing from whinnie the pooh!!

This will be better than LFCC Jimmy.

Been before and it's a good day.

Not so many random half naked birds dressed up in funky costumes walking about though...so I don't think Dub will come

does look interesting so far!

how are the vintage prices compared to say, here or RS?

Thats what i have heard Stu most people that have been to the Mems say the November one is definately the best

I dont think i get to the london event the following week though.

Im defo going to go to this one and its great to hear quite a few people are planning to make it! Carl if you live round the corner you have no excuse lol!

Jimmy Birmingham is in the middles of the UK its a large city with a big airport buddy if you need some details let me know

Andy i defo think a car share for the north east lads would be a good idea im undecide as to wether to go down for just the saturday or go down on the saturday morning and stay in a travel lodge sat night so i can then attend the sunday as well before travelling back. If a few people are going and staying over it would be awesome to spend the saturday night sinking a few jars together before the sunday show

Jay

i know there is no exscuse, becuase i have used them all up

The Ramada Encore Birmingham NEC is only half a mile from the NEC & are doing a deal where you buy a room for 1 night for £69 & you get the second night free!

The dates are for friday 19th & saturday 20th November!

I'm hoping to get down there for the one night(friday)so it would be cool to meet up & have a few beers!

Hi Guys
Been away for a while and just seen this thread .... count me in for the NEC at least one day probably the saturday.....

Stu are you gonna take Finley as Ethan has been bugging me to go again and also my 16 year old wants to go ...... think thats on account of the amount of semi-naked women at the London comic show
Tony

Allthough i have never attended, i may do this year. Can anyone give me an idea of how much vintage there is for sale, i heard rumours last year of there not being too much, although due to me never have gone, i havent got a clue really what to expect. The basic question im asking is, IS IT WORTH IT, i'd hate to travel a long way to find 2 carded klaatu's and a loose ree yee's. I know a few years ago it was loaded with carded, but no idea whats happening these days.

CLonerz, I havent been there for a few years, but I do know there always is plenty of vintage there! well there better be!!

Hiya Tony,

Not taking the biys mate as I'm gonna be trooping on the Saturday.

Hi Stu
No worries mate and will have my camera with me this time so will have to get some pics with you all Stormtrooperd up ..... mind you not sure what my oldest is gonna make of grown men in full kit
Tony

Yes mate....Dominican Republic for a couple of weeks and then snowed under with work for the last 10 days ..... finally getting there now though
So hows things with you .... is this going to be your first public outing at the NEC ?
Tony

Andy

Hi Andy

Tony
