I ran out of time on the old Rack
Toy Month front with a few missed days and the move, but I'm not going
to save them for a year so the seven-or-eight still in the queue will be
slipped in between now and Christmas. There's nothing that exciting, but there
was some 'Armymen' follow-up stuff and some fish and some dinosaurs and some
big trucks and . . . shows, we're looking at show-news here!
If you've come later in the day and found this, there are three new posts underneath it, with a further two on the Hong Kong Blog!

Three toy-auctions
on the same day, at opposite ends of the country? I'm sorry, but all three of
them should be ashamed of themselves; with 300+ days to choose-from (including
Saturadys?); doubling-up is bad enough, but three in one day is a piss-take,
and it means none of them can be delivering the service they claim they are to
the sellers.
It's not enough to say people [read
'dealers'] can leave bids at all three venues (if necessary), it's the fact
that all buyers (including a lot of dealers) are on a budget, and holding three
sales on the same day will result in overall lower final sale prices on the day,
frankly - it's a bit shocking!
Good news for canny buyers though!
