Spooky that this showed up in my feed: It was me you bought the Siege Refraktors from! 🙂

[@GeekExplorers]

lol it was destiny! Made my day finding the full Refraktor set, thought it was going to take ages to pick up all three. Thanks again, cheers!

[@yunoyuluvit]

@@GeekExplorers I'm happy that they've gone to a good home. Enjoy!

[@GeekExplorers]

Hey. nice Transformers Refraktor/Reflector set! Same seller I bought my Sky Lynx from. Nice one :D

[@GeekExplorers]

Was so happy to find this, really though it was going to be an ongoing hunt for all three. Awesome, Sky Lynx is another on my list, the seller was a top guy! Cheers, thank you!

Great video was there much Lego for sale

[@GeekExplorers]

Thank you! There was some here and there, I wasn’t actively looking so there might have been more. I didn’t notice any stalls particularly loaded up with Lego. Though from what I could gather the event is a mix of regular dealers and people having a clear out, so seems like it could be different each time. Cheers!

Hi there I don't suppose you noticed whether there was much modern stuff like Hasbro Marvel Legends while you were there did you ? or was it mostly vintage items for avid collectors/completionists ?

[@GeekExplorers]

I wasn’t particularly looking out for Legends but I’m certain I saw some and stalls were selling them. The whole show was a good mix of modern and retro toys. All the transformers I was after were current lines and there were plenty both boxes new and unboxed and used. It was the same for Marvel figs. There was a bit of everything as there’s a mix of professional traders and people who are just there to clear out old collections.

Very Expensive there, more like a retail store.

[@GeekExplorers]

There’s definitely some high end prices, though there’s also some good deals. Everything I picked up was much cheaper than I’d seen online so thought I got some great deals. I guess it comes down to demand and market price. I had a great time, down to the people and the fun of hunting. It is essentially a massive market so just depends how much you enjoy toy hunting as to how much you’d enjoy the fair.

Best video yet dude. Always a fan, but this one seemed to me like just a bit of a step up from previous - this was perfect amount of talking, showing toys, great camera angles / effects, comparison to other cons, usefulness of early bird. Yep, smashed it dude 🙌🏼 Would love to see a rating for the cons, like you'd get in old console mags for computer games. Could be an overall score or certain criteria but adds 30 seconds to the video and can be something to get hyped about. What will he score it? OoOOOooooOOOhhhHhh

[@GeekExplorers]

Thank you, it’s always hard to tell how each videos shaping up when I’m working on it. Felt like this was one of my better vids so that’s awesome to hear you enjoyed it. Appreciated!!

Where the hell do they think up the rob dog prices from its ridiculous.

[@GeekExplorers]

Presumably the prices are based on the venue costs, market demand a business viability. While I agree the early entry is expensive I felt like I got really good value for money. The prices I paid for everything I purchased was far better than if I had picked them up online. Plus met loads of awesome people and had a really fun day out, I’ll deffo be going again. Did you attend?
