www.thenec.co.uk/whats-on/toy-collectors-fair/Has anybody visited one of these before? I am just wondering if they are any good for wrestling collectibles. I will mainly be after loose Hasbro's on the cheap so I can inspect the action and paint work on the figures.

I've been to 15 of them over the years. It's a great show to go to if you collect a wide rang of toys. But last year was my first year going as a strictly Wrestling only collector, and it was very limited. But it really depends on the sellers, as one year you can find loads of wrestling stuff, others you might not get some. I've only ever been to the NEC shows baring in mind.
But yeah, definitely go and check it out. Last year, despite not being much wrestling related stuff I ended up getting a TNA glow in the dark Jeff Hardy for £1, Painted Mattel Classic IC and a couple of other painted Jakks belts for £2 each. One year I was able to get the 2001 WWF replica WCW World Title for £40. You never know what you'll find.
Hasbro wise, I reckon you'll do well. As there is a lot of vintage sellers.

Excellent, I am definitely going there with an open mind and no real expectations of any particular finds. I assumed it was more of the retro/memerobilia end of the spectrum rather than more modern stuff. But as you say it largely depends upon what dealers show up.
A chance for a day out with the Missus as well as she collects all things Disney.

She's going to be in her element then. Enjoy
