International Collectors Fair Utrecht autumn 2014

Fantastic to hear about your day girls! Must have been nice to see each other there Was there any Breyer sellers or something? What about any japanned brands?
I hope some day I'll be a able to join a fair like that with some STS friends
Karin, don't you worry - it wasn't meant that you buy me anything

It is really great and funny reading your experience. So nice that you all could meet.
Fortunately you haven't acquired that 75 Euros fox for me or I could be in a big problem!
It is already a kind of prise for me that you remembered to check it when there was so many good things around to distract you. Many thanks and please don't forget to show everything!

No Breyers, that brand is very uncommon in the Netherlands for some reason
Japaneese stands including action, movie and game figures, also a lot of animes and mangas of course. I was indeed searching for some kaiyodos, since they come in small packages, but none at all

I know, but you spoil me rotten with your horses <3, want to do something back! XD

Thanks for your answer
Interesting... But who knows maybe the brand will have successful future there in Holland I heard exiting news that a Finnish hardware store had bought rights to sell the whole Breyer collection in Finland! Exciting
Too bad... Well I'm sure you had a great time anyway!

Karin that what I've send was a gift - you're not allowed to send me anything. The end

Hello everyone.
It was a long day this saturday in Utrecht.
I got to the fair around 09:15 and started strolling along all those stands and sellers.
I was very nice to meet up with Karin and Ana once i got to the toys section.
Ana had brought me a lovely gift, my first little Kaiyodo bear.
I will post a picture tomorrow. Thanks Ana!! I will give him a nice place in my glass cabinet.
*big bear hug*
There was this wholesaler from Germany who had some Mojö animals for sale. Under the table he two whole boxes full of Mojö he didn't even had unpacked. He let me open the boxes and look for bears. They were all used shop-material. Some had light rub marks and scratches. And every animal only once. Fortunately he still had the black bear, polar and panda. So here i find my first Mojö animals, three at the same time. For a friend i also bought a moose.
Unfortunately an other gentleman from Germany who sells lots of Lineol animals was not there this time.
The rest of the morning and afternoon i kept looking and looking, but this Verzamelbeurs autumn edition was not so rich on bears. Loads of redicilous overpriced Black Forrest woodcarvings, and several larger stone/porcelin bears. All too ugly, too large or too expensive.
I did find a (colour) variation of a standing HongKong polar bear, and a little pewter cub.
And 3 special cards for my Magic the Gathering bears collection, including -old school- Bear Cub card, from the 1998 PortalSecondAge. (As if anyone of you knows what that means.)

So get out all you calendars and agenda's. The next edition is 11 and 12 April 2015.

***EDIT***
Pictures posted below.

Darn! It would be nice to go to the next one, April 12th is my birthday

Sounds like you had a great day there

Did somebody take pictures ?

I also went to Utrecht, did not meet the other girls because I was there with my son and we had a program of oure own.... but maybe next time?! We went also on the Saturday and I came to the same seller as DB did.... a German who still was unpaking his boxes   ...so I went there a few times during the day and every time he had different animals.... I scored a few horses and the rodeocowboy from schleich in Box and the catalog from Mojo 2012, my son bought a lot of miniature figures of Disney and the Simpsons, and for my daughter I found a playset of Frozen . We had a great day but were exhausted!
Seen a lot childhood memory's like  old games and playfigures i had when I was little.
No luck with finding Foxes Roger...
Here are some pics.....

I have no idea where it is from. But i sure has a exotic look.
First it look a touch Egypty, slender and straight. But if it had been black it might as well come from Gotham city, with all those high buildings and tall statues.

OK, from Gotham City, I see, however, I believe it is from New Amsterdam.

Oh, why did I miss this ?

I want to go next year for sure ... Maybe with someone from here :)

Sure Damon, would be nice to meet up.
Save the date in your calender!
