Well, myself and some friends travelled 400 miles to gets there. We booked our tickets in advance. We waited 20 odd minutes in the Early bird "fast" Que.
And we only spent 2 hours at the show... then went to Forbidden Planet on Shaftesbury Avenue.
It wasn't a complete waste of time. I managed to pick up a lot of comics - 42 issues (lots of randoms) plus 4 trades. I got a few items i really wanted off my list (Hellboy, The Walking Dead, etc), but there is still a lot i need to look out for.
Even though i picked up a decent haul, i don't think i'll be attending another Collector Mania event any time soon. Not enough comics.
Being pretty new to comics (just over 18 months) i don't have a huge amount, but my collection has grown to 2 boxes full now. I saw an ad at the show for stackable boxes and it made me think about cataloguing my collection.
Doing it now would make searching through them a hell of a lot easier in the future. So, in the next couple of weeks i'm going to sit down and log my whole collection on a google docs spreadsheet (if only they had Google Access) and (maybe) share it with you - if you want to read it that is.
