Right, got some pictures to add from today as promised. As said above, really was a great day. Scott Hall aka Razor Ramone was absolutely brilliant, such a nice guy, enjoying himself and talking to fans nearly all day. Ted, Virgil,Sunny and Dawn stayed at the signing tables for most of the day, where as Scott did stints, and then would wonder over to the bar Whilst in the Bar, Scott posed for pictures with me and signed my Hasbro figure, for free - saving me £45. Virgil was steep, he was taking money himself where as the others you had to get tickets for.He charged £50 for an autograph and a photo with himself and Ted. Ted, Sunny and Dawn were charging £15 for Autographs, and i think the same for photos. Scott should have been £20 and £25, but i caught him in the bar He even agreed with Johny Storm (English Wrestler, aparently hitting TNA soon) to make an apearance in the wrestling ring which was holdng matches for some english wrestles (slam wresting promotion) but got called away to do signings unfortunately. Any way, below are some pictures from some of the stuff i got today.. M$M signed Hasbro, Razor, Virgil, Sunny signed Boddydonnas Classic, Display case i picked up for my Test shots, Display case for my Signed Bret Shades, Some odd bits i got for cheap, And finally some cool Custom Hasbro cards of the Hart Foundation, which ill be framing and Puting with the rest of my Bret collection. There the best ones ive seen.. Sorry for the long post, but i hope you enjoy the photos.. Will add pictures of me with some of the Wrestlers tommorow when i have gone through them, Cheers for now.

Adam, Nice photos and nice pickups. What were the stalls like there, I like the hart foundation custom cards. Any other interesting stuff around? Thanks mate.. To be honest, there was hardly anything there wrestling related. One stall, with a few Hasbros but thats it. Chap was very friendly though, got chatting to him for a while and he brought up these Custom cards, so he dug them out for me..

Is anyone actually interested in these kind of custom cards? I'm a bit of a Photoshop master, so could easily make these to order.....could even email you the files so you can print them out as often as you like

I would like to get a figure resealed in its packaging. I want to put my British Bulldog test shot back in a bulldog package. Just something I always wanted to do since I got it. I never had faith that I would be able to open a Bulldog cleanly enough to look like original though so I never did it. I wouldn't mind getting a backing card for the mail aways and eventually get them sealed too..

Did you also have to take your own picture? kind of annoying really, paying £15 -£20 to take your own picture and not have it professionally done as advertised. Oh well, I'm just dissapointed that in my picture with Sunny my eyes are in the process of blinking

Yeah I did mate, wasn't quite the same as last year with Bret. Did feel a bit harsh having to pay so much to have someone take a picture for you with your own Camera! Although, Razor was more than happy to do it for free in the Bar

Take your own photo?? That's really taking the piss. The worst of it is, on the Memorabilia website they say that there will be photoshoots and no personal pictures are allowed to be taken with the wrestlers and so I didn't bother to bring my camera, so in the end I had to get my sister to take a picture on her phone which is good but not great and still had to pay £35 overall for the two photos. Looking forward to seeing who might be at the next event in March anyway.

Yeah I nearly didn't take my camera, lucky I did. Had hardly any battery left, just held in there long enough. Yeah, will be good to see who's there in March. Don't forget Wrestleslam in Manchester though, in January.
