rogue_entity Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Aside from autographs what's the single most expensive item you've brought from LFCC or indeed one of the other Collectormanias. Not expensive (but the most expensive thing I've purchased) but I brought a replica Puzzle Box from Hellraiser for £30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacecadet is here Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I bought a Hot Dog... Way too expensive and it had no onions... The Tomato sauce was nasty. Going to take my Camel chews this time... The Arenas can keep their Hot Dogs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerraHawk Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I bought a Hot Dog... Way too expensive and it had no onions... The Tomato sauce was nasty. Going to take my Camel chews this time... The Arenas can keep their Hot Dogs. I think it was at one of the shows I was introduced to Crispy Onion (its more an a American thing) which I developed quite a taste for. I already had quite a taste for ketchup (there's more of than in my veins than the other red stuff), but I quite like a cheap and nasty one from time to time. The only problem is the price.

Probably not very helpful! ... not unless you are offering to make everyone else sandwiches too? I don't bother. I'll just bring a bottle of water and that's it from waking up till I get home and I'll have something then or if I've got time before the train leave I might buy something from the station. I can't be bothered lugging more crap around than I have too, I get way to hot to be hungry and likewise the thought of eating hot, squashed food that I've been carting around for hours is not appealing!

smithy270492 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 yh is a bit of a vicious circle when it comes to food... maybe i need to get a small cooler bag to put in my actual bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazzley Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 There is a very reasonable priced pub just around the corner we went to last year when it got hectic upstairs on the Saturday, they do a lovely cool soup! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony1975 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I take sandwiches with me and eat them while travelling on the train. I also take a couple bottles of pop and some crisps for later on when i have arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Outside of autographs I really don't think i've ever spend much at the shows. I'm not really a collector like a lot of attendees are so outside of my all time favorite programs/films I don't really buy much stuff. All I can really remember buying at Collectormania's many years ago where those lovely black and white cast gloss pictures one of the traders used to do. It was something nice that I could then get signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1980 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Food: I stuck with the Tesco across from the venue. I didn't really spend a lot last year, this year might be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
