I wasnt that impressed with the stalls there were some goodies but way too much new Star Wars stuff,unsigned images,sports memorabillia and NU Who stuff
and lots of mego figures with no pants.

I took £300 to spend on memorabillia and spent about £130.
  25 on Hammer Horror mags
  45 on the Hammer ladies autos...though this should have been 30 quid but i dont mind paying this as i think their auto is as good as Dirk Cigarzzz Benedicts or the others charging higher and afterall Ms Munro and Ms Leon as a kid gave me a LOT of pleasure and 30 quid is a small price to pay for that
29 on a Regan head cast
3 on a Hammer Horror make up book
10 Damien signed pic and
  20 on a Barbara Shelley signed pic.


i got a little head at Midlands

I've never seen that shot of Martine before.  Any chance of a close up?

I saw it once before for free but bought it mainly to hear Marshall's commentary (plus it was cheap and a ltd ed) about all the homages having spoken to him about it when I met him at LFCC. Marshall has made one good film (The Descent) but I fear that may have been a fluke. After I've watched it again, I'll probably sell it.

It's hardly original in that it borrows WAY too much from other (better) films. Otherwise not TOO bad but it feels like Marshall tried to make 2 films in 1 with the sudden change in setting/villain/technology half-way thru. Messy climax too. It's almost an exact copy of Escape From New York right down to the the one-eyed hero, gladiatorial match, the double-cross at the end and even the opening narration complete with computerised map of the country. It's obviously one for the teenage boys of the X-Box generation - ones not familiar with the genre classics it homages...it's also a film white-trash ASBO morons are sure to love.

I bought lots of 8x10s of Dannii Minogue cos I wrote to her a few months ago and sent her some photos which she signed and personalized and even sent a 6x4 personalized to me, it's really hard finding nice 8x10s of her online so I decided to have a look while I was there and I got about 6 nice ones which I'm going to send off to her shortly.

In addition to that I bought photos of some guests I'm planning to meet at the next show I go to cos the photos there aren't usually up to much. Oh and my random buy for the day was a Joker action figure from the Dark Knight movie.

Generally speaking I don't buy anything other than autographs at these events but since there wasn't many guests I wanted to meet I indulged and brought a poster.

Which I very nearly left behind!  

I'd put it down while sorting out autographs in a quiet spot and walked off without it, thankfully it was still there when I realised a few minutes later and went back.

A massive thanks to all you honest folk!
