Model & toy show 22 Feb Kempton Park
Discussion
Just a quick heads up...might pop down myself to see if there are any bargain 1:18 minichamp/autoart/kyosho diecast cars to be had. Never been so it might not be all that, however i picked up a original flyer advertising the event from one of the stands at Autosport that was selling diecast models that will also be at the below venue.

Ah, the home of the wacky price difference.
You might be lucky and get a bargain, but online is normally cheaper, certainly for newer stuff.
My only advice would be to not buy the first example of the model you want. Ask the vendor to put it to one side for you and continue looking as you may find it at a considerable price difference.
Last year I found 2 identical Dinky models, very near the same condition on stalls next to each other. £15 price difference. The higher priced seller wasn't bothered in the slightest, his view being if that one sold then his was the next cheapest. You couldn't fault his logic!
