Vintage Toy Hunting And Meet Ups At The NEC Toy Fair - October 2023

Published 2023-10-08
The NEC Toy Fair is one of the largest in the UK and attracts sellers and buyers from north and south, and even from abroad.

This one is fully booked with 580 stalls, so I'm hopeful of finding some vintage goodies.

Let's see how this goes....

The Search For, Preservation and Archival of Vintage Toys.

Hi, I'm VTR Dave. A Brit on a mission to curate a high-quality and diverse collection of vintage toys, known as the VT aRchive.

A homage to the iconic toys of the 70s & 80s to be shared with as many enthusiasts as possible, right here on this channel. And who knows, perhaps in the future, on display in a public space like a museum. Now, wouldn't that be something!

Subscribe to stay updated as I search for vintage toys, lovingly restore them, delve into their history, and piece by piece, construct the VT aRchive.

As always, thanks goes out to everyone who supports the channel. Every view, like & comment is appreciated.

Stay safe & cheers!

    Great pickups Dave. You had a better haul than I managed. That said it wasn’t for the lack of options. It was jammed with vintage goodness. It was again a pleasure to meet you and hopefully I will see you again in April.

    Great pick-ups and what an immense toy fair! In a way I'm glad the Norwich Toy Fair is so small because I think I would find the large ones quite overwhelming. Thanks for showing us how your day went Dave!πŸ‘πŸ΅

    Love a VTR Toy Hunt! Some cracking pick-ups, I love Dino Riders, and how cool you managed to find one of the versions Tyco re-packaged for the Smithsonian Institute. Great to see so many familiar faces. Be careful doing those deals in the back of a vanπŸ˜†

    Awesome pick ups David. I never had Dino Riders as a kid so I'm looking forward to your videos on them. Also, I can't wait to see your restoration on that vintage Y Wing!! Glad you had a great time at NEC
