Very friendly event this one.

I remember buying a reel of brand new Star Trek trailers from Uncle Phil many years ago at Farnworth.

I wish I could have made it to more over the years as it is literally up the road from here, but work always intervenes...darn. [Frown]

[Frown]

Will try to pop along this year. [Smile]

I am working David as it stands. The only good news I've seen so far from this year's planner, is I am at least off for my 50th. Off to London now that week. [Smile]

Typically, I'm never off on my birthday, so there's one plus I suppose!

More than likely I'm afraid David.

I would be very shocked to find out someone placed money on me being anywhere for certain on any given day apart from work.
Even my own immediate family wouldn't place that bet David. [Big Grin]

Myself, and everyone else Paul.

I am not seeking any other equipment nowadays other than sync equipment including motor controller boards.

I am coming very close now to closing out my Disney collection. The ones I still don't have, I've been searching globally on an almost daily basis.
If I thought I'd stumble over any of these prints in A1 near mint condition, I'd look to getting someone to swap with me even if I'm rostered in work.

As you say Paul, I have more than enough time to plan ahead to make this a possibility.

The bottom line is, for what I now seek from this hobby, most of it is either tightly held on to, or now almost doesn't even exist in the condition I want it in and at price point I am willing to pay.

If I can't find it in five years of global searches, what chance do you think I may have of finding it at Farnworth or even Blackpool Paul?

I'd love it if there was any realistic chance, but somehow,I doubt it now the years roll by after Deranns closure.

Please please, correct me if you feel I may possibly be wrong with this one Paul.
