Sandown Toy Fair is one of my favourite fairs of the year. It usually delivers some very nice vintage toys and this one doesn't disappoint.
Let's see what we can find, let's see who can we meet.

Hi, I'm VTR Dave. A Brit on a mission to curate a high-quality and diverse collection of vintage toys, known as the VT aRchive.
A homage to the iconic toys of the 70s & 80s to be shared with as many enthusiasts as possible, right here on this channel. And who knows, perhaps in the future, on display in a public space like a museum. Now, wouldn't that be something!
Subscribe to stay updated as I search for vintage toys, lovingly restore them, delve into their history, and piece by piece, construct the VT aRchive.
As always, thanks goes out to everyone who supports the channel. Every view, like & comment is appreciated.
Stay safe & cheers!

    I meant to say in the last video that presentation layout is a real winner. I love the pauses to showcase what you bought and do it in small chunks, instead just everything at once at the end. I have a feeling this will catch on with others. Nice work!

    Superb coverage of Sandown as always and some brilliant pick-ups.

    Hey Luke!! I was in front of that table when I called you 🤣 But didn't get to the table till later in the day, so who knows what I missed. Very pleased with the pickups, been following Crystar for years in the US but never quite pulled the trigger, so very happy to pick some up in the UK - you don't see them too often here. Hoping to fill out the collection now 🤣 And of course, couldn't turn down some A-Team goodness 🤘 The last few videos have really helped with the subs, so lets see if a restoration or two can help cross the line. Cheers!
