I recall reading about the legacy of the fish finger sandwich, however I predict Ralph looks at the menu, sees the price, and says, 'On your bike!'.
I intend to remember this time that there is a Subway on the NEC bridge that goes over the railway.

GBK, Pizza Express, Nandos, TGI Fridays, Las Iguanas, others. World Bar has food and beer at more reasonable prices too. Hilton bar prices are too much for me, and I'm used to drinking in Central London. |

I am after....... Er..... I dont know. Im going to the US next month and even with the exchange rate I'm willing to risk trying to get the most recent stuff then.
Toy-fu has a couple of items Im keeping my eye on depending on price.
Already got a sketch from Nick at LFCC. A sketch from Geoff maybe, I had an idea Im trying to get right.

I've been thinking about this and realised I don't have a game plan. I love being inspired by the atmosphere of the con and have bought some fave toys on the spur of the moment in the past. I'm definitely after a good set of complete G1 Aerialbots to further my Special Teams mission and any complete 89 Micromaster sets I don't have.
I don't have any Siege wave 3 yet, so prob get some of that now it's turning up, and will be definitely on the lookout for the Target exclusives, but I am betting the Rainmakers set will be at least £90.

The best thing to do is set a budget for Saturday and a budget for Sunday. If the Saturday budget goes fast then stop! Do a quick whirl around on Saturday morning to see if there any definite 'wants' and pounce straightaway. Otherwise browse.

I guess, I'd like to see if there's any TR stuff I don't have, Masterpieces or reissues? I guess. As long as I see folks and have a good time, I'll be happy with that.

Depends on whether any of the Gundam dealers have them, but there are a couple of Mobile Suits I need - a GM Sniper K9 and an Adele - as parts donors. There are a couple of other MS kits I would consider if I see them.
There are a couple of prints folks in the Forge are bringing that I want (And Ed's sketchbook which I didn't manage to get a preorder in for due to finances at the time). Want to have a look at the badges and stuff folk have in the Forge, and depending on stock levels there is a fanzine someone I know is bringing that I want to snag a copy of.
Oh... you probably meant Transformer Toys right? Um... Nothing specific this year to be honest. Keeping a weather eye out for some Energon stuff I'd like to re-own but other than that there is nothing that feels like a pressing buy.
And the most important piece of merchandise is already paid for and should be ready for pickup on Friday - I've got this years bear ordered and paid for.
