August 2024
It's now under a month to go until Wigan Comic-Con! The August Bank Holiday was spent prepping and pricing inventory and then seeing if it will fit in the car. Hopefully with enough room left over for the Collectables Crew (if they travel light)! So make sure you come along as for one day only you'll be able to check out our wide range of rare toys, books, comics, magazines, DVDs/Videos, CDs and pick up a bargain and maybe a freebie or two.
We're super-excited with the special guest announcements including Peter Davison and Janet Fielding (The Fifth Doctor and Tegan) from Classic Who. We're massive fans of the Davison Years (1982-84) and The Power of the Doctor Special (2022) where they both returned in spectacular fashion! So, we'll definitely be dusting off our cricketing whites, designer celery and air-hostess uniforms!
Certain members of the Crew (those under 18) are more excited by the appearance of Hacker T. Dog, the furry CBBC star (plus his handler Phil Fletcher). Well, Wigan is his home town after all!
