Shepton Mallet - Toy & Train Toy Fair - 9th June 2024 - Matchbox - Corgi - Batman - Wow
In today's video we take a tour of the Toy and Train Fair which was held on Sunday 9th June 2024 at Bath and West showground, near Shepton Mallet in the UK.
Delighted to have my friend Andy join me again as we discuss the fair, the new venue and what we ended up buying.
There were loads of toy dealers with something for everyone!
I hope you enjoy it - it was a fun show!

Thanks Peter!

Thanks Christian!

Good town, I'm from there - remember going to a Dave Lee Roth concert in the Showerings Pavilion c.1991 which was probably the last time I visited!

[@JulesBurt]

Lol, not sure it's changed much, the showground is out in the sticks!

[@ElfGoblin]

I'm not a toy collector but I thoroughly enjoy these toy show vids. It was interesting seeing all those old Playmobil sets because they reminded me of my best ever Christmas c.1981-ish. Me and my brother got a 6ft snooker table (all set up ready to play), and I got a space lego moon landing station set and also a Playmobil car and recovery truck set. Just brilliant ! If I was a collector, I'd have bought as many of those Playmobil sets that I could afford because I have a feeling they'll be much more collectible in the future.

[@JulesBurt]

It's a bit of a funny one as Playmobil seems to have been dwarfed by Lego. Classic Space Lego is hot though and I hardly ever see it at shows.

[@ElfGoblin]

Well, as a collector of other stuff (art, books, records) I know you've got to go off your instincts and my instincts tell me Playmobil just can't fail. It's extremely well made, it's varied enough to appeal to all tastes and I would say it's visually more fun than Lego. Even a single figure looks good sat on a shelf. Still, I've been wrong before...

[@JulesBurt]

@@ElfGoblin I was eyeing up an astronaut figure, just to say I have one, tbh!

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Great video as always. And as always it drives me nuts seeing all those diecasts over there in England.

[@JulesBurt]

Sorry about that but glad you enjoyed the video🙂

[@VintageToyRush]

Fantastic to finally met you Jules along with Andy and David! Very nice pickups, in particular, the large poster 😎

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks David, great to meet you too my friend 🙂

[@Fred-gu6pk]

The Roger Gilham book is very good. I think it is actually up to the 8th edition as of about 8 years ago. It includes a brief history of the Scalextric brand owners and has some information on competitors and licensed versions.

[@JulesBurt]

excellent, it was just what I needed to get a general overview of the line. Always loved it as a kid but dare not start collecting it now. This is the next best thing!

[@colreef]

Great vid Jules.I was there too saw you briefly but you were busy chatting with someone. A good show I picked up a couple of mint diecast models. Keep up the good work chaps.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks my friend! Please come and say hello next time🙂

[@keithguppy12345]

I was there also around 9.30 with my wife and puppy Jules but didn’t see you, which is a shame. I was a bit disappointed with the stuff on offer this time, being a Star Wars collector. Thanks for the video mate.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Keith, I think I must have been in stealth mode as I missed loads of people. You're right, there wasn't stacks of vintage Star Wars this time tbh but you just never know what might turn up....

[@johnpreston3333]

What a great day for Andy with some awesome finds, love the UFO poster. Another great video Jules, always look forward to a Jules and Andy upload.

[@JulesBurt]

Great stuff John. You're right, Andy did really well🙂

[@ralphwinter6421]

Nice one Jules, gud vid...

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks my friend 🙂

[@rebornitsybitsy7515]

Another great video. I love watching these videos but could you show us some of the prices for the toys where possible.

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks. I try to focus on the prices but often its not clear what the dealers want for their toys, even when it's right in front of you!

[@Merylstreep1949]

Oh Doctor Who boxed sets!!! Definitely would have picked those up!!! I have alot of these from 2012 that I unboxed to enjoy and display so would have been nice to have boxed ones...on USA ebay, the uk stuff is going up in value now 😢

[@JulesBurt]

I can believe it, they are actually quite uncommon.

[@Merylstreep1949]

@JulesBurt and when I was collecting them, I always had a feeling they were. I'm glad I still have them. My biggest joy is I have a Jon Pertwee doctor and a Jo Grant one w the boots....and 3 different variants of Perri

[@Markybug-Keira-Cody]

Those vintage playmobil items looked like they would only go up in value ?

[@JulesBurt]

I'm not sure if they're a good investment or not, certainly an excellent collection though.
