Memorabilia 2003

[Shinobi]

Memorabilia...such a wonderful thing, usualy associated with geeks, freaks and fat Star Trek virgin's who still live with there Mum. I, however, can't get enough of the stuff. Luckily for me...today was the day when Memorabilia 2003 came to Glasgow!

Let me tell you a little bit about Memorabilia 2003. It is a massive venue where there are masses of stalls set up selling...you'll never geuss this one...Memorabilia! It is great, from vintage Beatles records to X-men #5 from 1977, it's all here. Me and two of my friends decided we would trundle along to check it out!

The place was packed with everything you can think of! It was great! So we had a good nose around and we checked out the Guest Stars this year:
Craig Charles from Red Dwarf
Another Guy from Red Dwarf (forgot his name :p)
The midget who playes R2D2 (He was the man!)
CP-30
Dr Who
T-X from Terminator 3
The undisbuted middle-weight boxer
The undibuted feather-weight boxer
The orginal drummer from The Beatles
Harry from 3rd Rock from the Sun (he is the man! and he comented on my t-shirt and is gonna tell Cuban Gooding Junior the next time he see's him becuase it said "Show me the monkey" with a monkey on it!)
and many more...

So to tell you what i got. I ended up buying 3 plaques with 4 real movie cells from the film strip for MAtrix: Reloaded! I believed this to be a great deal, it was 3 for £20, so that is 12 cells for £20! Considering there is only 200 limeted edition made for each plaque!

I also got the #1 issue of Marvel Comics X-men: The Forgotten Years for £2.70! I know it is pretty recent but it is in perfect condition so i'm just gonna store it away until i'm an 80 year old cripple and sell it on :p. I also got a free Lara Croft #1 coic with that too! I got lots and lots of free magazines too!

My friend got a vintage model building kit with 11 inside 1 box for £25 RRP is £60!

And my other mate got The Godfather III plaque with the cell on it.

I swear i could have spend a fortune in there, it was great. There were Storm Troopers walking about too and they were really funny. So it was just a great day out.

I was also dieing (sp?) to buy one of the LOTR Replica swords, my Dad really wants one, so i might get one for Christmas this year! WHOO HOO! I hope so.

So the question and point of this thread is:

[b]Have you got any Memorabilia or Collector Items and have you ever been to a big venue like Memorabilia 2003?[/b]
