Kempton Park Toy Fairs

[shaggydave76]

Anyone else going along to Kempton Park Toy Fair tomorrow? (11th February 2024)

Not one I've ever been to, so tomorrow will be my first time checking it out.
From what I gather, in the past it's been more about vintage cars and model trains, but recently - and from looking at various Youtube videos - there does seem to be a LOT more 80's and 90's Toy sellers there.

Will drop an example here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dd4kPDKquM&ab_channel=VintageToyRush
If you skip ahead to around the 5 minute 20 mark, the cameraman shows the table of a seller called 'ToyBedlam', who has some really nice repackaged G1 Transformers, and what appears to be some Siege and Studio Series figures too.

Also, after jumping on a Toy Division livestream on Thursday evening, Empiretoys1138 and Mrdanplastic (instagram nicks) have said that they would be taking some of their Transformers stock along to the fair.


I'm actually really looking forward to going tomorrow, and there looks to be some great toys to be had, not just Transformers.

For anyone who isn't going, or just wants to know what it's like there, I'll follow up with a brief review when I return.

I went once in 1998 when I lived just up the road in Kingston. They weren't great back then at publicising when they were on.

Just got back from the Kempton Fair, and it was...ok, I guess.

It's always traditionally been for model trains and cars, and there were shedloads of them, but a fair few sellers of 80's toys.
Not much in the way of Transformers this month, a few G1 bits (Someone had a GORGEOUS full set of G1 Dinobots and 2 G1 Optimus Primes) and some Battle Beasts..even a few Beast Saga figures, but if you're in to He-Man or Star Wars figures you were well catered for.

I doubt I'll try this one again, not nearly enough TF Figures for me.

Won't be able to get to the Sandown Park fair on the 24th Feb due to the dreaded Bus Replacement Services in the area, so it looks like my next Toy Fair is April at the NEC!!

Quick Update: I found another, smaller, Toy Fair that takes place this Saturday 17th Feb at The London Toy Shop in Enfield, which looks Very promising!

london-toy-shop.com/
They are very much more focused on 70's, 80's and 90's Toys and action figures (A healthy selection of Comics, too!) and hold regular twice-monthly Toy Fairs, Comic Fairs and Pokémon Fairs!

10am to 4pm - London Toy Shop, Brown's Garden Village, Crew's Hill, Enfield EN2 9DG.
Crew's Hill train station is 40 minutes direct from Moorgate on the Great Northern (or Northern City) Line and the venue is just a 5-minute walk from the station.

It's also within Zone 6 of the Travelcard Zones, so no extra train fares for me!

A couple of older videos here from Youtube, but gives an idea of what it's like...
