Ok, 3 weeks late, but better late than never. The last nexus Toy Fair (12 July 2008) in Perth, Western Australia, was a great event, and whilst the turn out wan't as large as expected, there was still plenty of hype, and great bargains to be had.
I finally met Jade from Damn Toys, and some of the Crew from the 501tag (Terror Australis Garrison) were there in their gear. These guys really are an amazing bunch. Each fair that comes, seems to bring more rare toys out of the woodwork. I was surprised at how many people have never heard of UglyDolls, or know of the TokiDoki brand, so, I guess people have a lot of cool things to discover here.
I was there selling a few things from our catalog, and theroute777 joined me on the table to sell some of his collectables (I am trying to subdue my jealousy as he and Mu are moving to japan in a few months). We resisted the urge to wander, as we would have bought more than we sold. it's so hard to not be tempted.
So, when's the next Nexus Toy fair?
