The Bendigo Record Comic and Toy Fair March 2015

  The Bendigo Record Comic and Toy Fair returned on March 22 at the Bendigo Expo Centre for another day of collectormania.  I know I spent too much money, but I landed a couple of major keys, as well as a Thor Hammer (and yes, apparently I am worthy to weild the hammer after all) which feels like a great anti-burglar device.  Unless said burglar has a gun.  Then I'm screwed.

I digress. 

50 vendors from all across Victoria, plus some Sydney folk, made the trip to Bendigo to sell us their stuff, and a good day was had by all.  Especially the guy who took all my money for those keys.
The Melbourne Comics folk had an expanded panel this year, with many artists and writers making the roadtrip up to Bendigo to support the Fair.  They held a Bendigo RCT Fair Exclusive launch of the new printing of the anthology comic Melbourne Comics Quarterly.  Gotta love an exclusive launch!

All in all, another fine day out for all involved, even if hip-pockets around Bendigo are hurting a bit.  But collectors are loving the opportunity to indulge their passions, and check out what's on offer.

The Bendigo Record Comic and Toy Fair September 2014

The Bendigo Record, Comic and Toy Fair September 2014

  The Bendigo Record Comic and Toy Fair had its second bash on September 21, 2014. A crowd of around 800 filed through the door over the course of the day, from as far afield as New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland, as well as all corners of Victoria.
  Specialist traders in vinyl, cds, rare collectibles, comics, toys, retro games and memorabilia met collectors, pop-culture enthusiasts and the curious in this Bazaar of the Bizarre held in Bendigo, Victoria at the Bendigo Expo Centre.  Members of the Melbourne Graphic Novelists scene had a zone, selling sketches and their original published material, and local fantasy novelist Brett Crandell had a stall.
  The CFA were present doing a tin shake in front of the Doctor Who exhibits, the event itself was a fundraiser for Community Radio Phoenix FM, and a fun day was had by all.
  No firm date has been set for the next Bendigo Record, Comic and Toy Fair, but this bi-annual event should announce a date soon for around March 2015.
