King X has reissued all of their exclusives. I was able to pick up a few I missed put on.

So if you are missing any give King X Toy Soldiers a call.

As McKenna always say Gingers rule!!!!

I believe "Gingers Rule!" was an ancient Viking war-cry, most of my Ginger fell out long ago, maybe that's why Vikings were found of fancy head wear {sm4}

I hope you're feeling better soon ^&cool

Come on my US friends, a few more pics would be appreciated. There's a few things being talked about but little evidence. What about First Legion, they're certainly there. I hope for some images today after all it's already Sunday in the UK and most of you guys have seen everything by now!

And not that I have high expectations, but I think the two friends from First Legion, Matt & Constantine, did not arrive at the show until yesterday. My understanding is they only display at a dealer's table.

When I get to work, I will post some photos I took of the K&C room and the Britains room. I also will take some photos of the items I brought home with me and get them posted. However, I was only there Friday and Saturday so cannot post any photos of the actual show itself.

I was only there on Thursday to do some shopping and since I used up my allotted budget within an hour, I didn't see the need to return for any of the ensuing days ( plus Mrs Fritz scheduled a family event on Sunday, without telling me in advance, so that made the actual show a no-go for me).

I was so busy shopping, looking at things old and new, and meeting new people that I forgot to take out my camera and take some pictures. doh!

I've found that even if you're not buying a lot, meeting like minded collectors and seeing what all the vendors have (even if it's' not your collecting interest) is more than half the fun. As far as staying for the actual show, I usually allot a couple of hours because by the time Sunday rolls around, I'm ready to go home and am on toy soldier overload by that point, and (by being there from Thursday through Saturday) I've seen almost all there is to see.
