I personally bought a number of Star Trek comics from some of the dealers, although there wasn't too much Trek on offer this time round, the dealers do rotate their stock, I was also looking for Firefly, but there was none of that this time! Some of the people going were there to finish collections, I saw some with folders, with certain comics crossed out, assuming those already being in their collection now. So for collectors, this is probably a handy event.
There were also some high value comics, in very good condition from the looks, and some collectable toys. They have seven more dates left in the year across the UK, and they are as follows, if anyone wants to stop by one.
• November 2nd - Birmingham - The Walker Memorial Hall, Ampton Road, Egbaston, Birmingham B15 2UJ
• November 9th - Sheffield - The Showroom, Paternoster Row, Sheaf Square, Sheffield S1 2BX (Opposite the main railway station)
• November 10th - Liverpool - The Liner Hotel, Lord Nelson Street, off Lime Street L3 5QB
• November 23rd - Manchester - Sachas Hotel, Tib Street, Piccadilly, Manchester M4 1SH
• December 7th - Birmingham - The Walker Memorial Hall, Ampton Road, Egbaston, Birmingham B15 2UJ
• December 8th - Leeds - Park Plaza Hotel, Boar Lane, Leeds. LS1 5NS
If you are in the UK, or around one of these areas, and you have an interest in comics, or want to have a look at what there is, it's probably worth a visit. You can find maps, and future dates, when they go up, over on the Golden Orbit website.
