Hey My name is Lee (ElJawa). I am currently in London and have a few days off. If anyone has recommendations of cool stores or markets to check out id love any help. If someone want to have lunch or show off their collection Id be super stoked. Just looking to meet some collectors or get some tips. I will also be going to Germany, Netherlands and Finland. Again any tips or help finding shops or markets to browse. Or meet up and chat. I spend a lot of time in Germany and would love to make some friends there. I am a comedian on tour and would offer free tix to any TIG member if they can make a show im doing this tour or anytime. I am also going to Tunisia. Yes i know but im going.
You can reply or pm me. Thanks.

There is a limited and expensive store in Camden Market. It's in the indoor bit at the top left over the bridge at the loch. It's the range of non SW items which may be worth checking out but I'd be surprised if you bought anything due to prices.

Sorry I just saw this post and could have given you some tips. I'm guessing you have already been to Holland? There's a nice little toy shop in A'dam that has some MOCs, loose and boxed items at decent prices and the shop is run by a very nice bloke. Not much in A'dam other than that. Next time maybe.
As for Tunisia, I was there a few weeks and all seems normal. I feel safer there than in Europe....

I will be in a town called Groningen. Ive never heard of A'dam. I will look it up. Thanks. I spent 5 days in Tunisia and i will post some pics soon. I am still traveling around Germany and will also be in Finland for a few days. If anyone is looking to make a friend or see some comedy let me know!

Thanks Clint, I am home now. The weather was great in Europe and is fine here now (23). The weather is rarely a reason to be in Winnipeg. Once its warm here the mosquitoes come out.

Ah yes, it's mosquito & black fly season here as well.
Hope you had a great time in Europe. Is any of your act on YouTube?

I am not good at self promotion, and i dont really post videos of me on youtube. I do Improv, I make up stories on stage. Yes sort of like whos line is it anyways but also not like it. Basically we got handed these handle bars and we started this short scene. Its a few years old but its gives an idea. Im the one that starts on the bike.

Holy crap, that is funny. "Don't ring the bell". That was great. Thanks for sharing.
