Best NEC Toy Fair Ever! Vintage Toys & Friends Galore - Apr 2024

Published 2024-04-11
This NEC was like no other. It's the first time I've stayed over on Saturday night and for good reason too. Many friends and collectors were meeting up for the very first time at the hotel.

What a weekend!

And oh yeah, the NEC toy fair did not disappoint on delivering vintage toys.

Let's see what we can find, let's see who can we meet.

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!
