Topps UK no longer attend shows for reasons best known to themselves.

Off to the roadshow tomorrow, see what it's all about.

Take some pictures, if you can!

They have loads of pictures up on facebook from the Newcastle one on Saturday.

Had a great time at the Roadshow today. Topps got exactly what they wanted, thousands of young children at the event playing the games, taking part in the demonstrations and getting all the freebies.

Full report on this including photos will be on the blog when I get around to doing it.

What do you mean do it now.

I stopped going to the Topps events when I noticed I was about 40 years older than everyone else there.

Wolfie did a great report from the Topps Half Term Roadshow. Have a look:

Topps Hits The Road In The UK

I never heard Wolfie talk so much before! I agree an outstanding report!

Fantastic report, well done Wolfie.

Great report

Very good report by Wolfie, great pics. It must be fun to visit shows like this

Thank you for all the kind words, much appreciated.

Around the UK if you can make it:-

No show near me this time unfortunatly.

I assume those Milton Keynes, Manchester and London shows tie in with school holidays as they are weekday shows.

I popped into the Manchester show today. It was extremely busy with kids playing Match Attax and swapping cards with each other. Anybody else remember when they actually traded trading cards?

That is the good thing about Match Attax, cheap packets and accessable to younger people and available in the local newsagents. It's not the same as main stream card collecting though. I would be interested to know if they were swapping any of the Star Wars trading cards? Topps UK (Merlin) have always done the sticker sets very well (I remember they used to have events to swap the Premier League stickers)and the Attax cards with a game as well as a nice card set seem to sell well.
