We've been using variations of our original setup on and off for different events over the last few years.

It was all conceived as modular.... (with extra redundancy when i accidentally forget sides).... one, two or three tables....

It's always a laugh trying to squeeze everything back down to one table for our xmas events with VERY short set ups around the highlands.

The three table version came with the side effect that we could no longer have one of us selling.... it's just too big!

I have to confess I do love the two table setup, it really focuses us down to a bit of everything, more of our own handmade items as well as a tighter shop look.

This is what we have coming for the next two events! Comic Con Manchester at the end July and For the Love of Fantasy & Sci-Fi in August.

It's gonna be great.

Any of you guys have a fav? Small/Compact? Mid/Concise? Huge/Completely insane setup time?

Best Regards,
John & Indi

Recovery done from the trip to london and we move onto prepping for our next event - Comic Con Manchester.

We always love coming down to Manchester. Always a buzzing city and great convention scene.

Guest line up is already packed and they keep adding in extras all the time. Shame we never get time to see any of them, rushed off our feet in the busy trader hall as we are.

Now, where did i put my to-do list?

1. potions
2. zombie books.
3. finish wall vortex set
4. omg we've got so much to make....
5. etc....

Hopefully see some of you there if you can get hold of a ticket.
Best Regards,
John & Indi

I have to confess to getting a little bit teary towards the end of MCM.... you guys are just lovely.

So many of you coming to see us for the last time on Sunday afternoon....

In conversation with you all over the three days I must have mentioned 1000 times that we are not leaving London ExCeL entirely. We're back in August for the fantastic Monopoly Events For the Love of Fantasy & Sci-Fi!

Before that, next up, is our one of our favourite convention cities Manchester! The show was brilliant last year and is shaping up to be even better!

Comic Con Manchester we're back!

Hopefully see you all again soon,
John & Indi

Our last ever MCM London Comic Con Sunday!

Goodbye you lovely cosplayers!

You have 9 ISH hours to find us!

23/05/2026

Day 2 of 3 done! Our last uber saturday at MCM London Comic Con ever!

It's always an epic one with the early start and 7pm finish.... but kind of emotional at the same time today with all the goodbye's to our brilliant MCM london customers.... (we obviously may see you at other shows but still)...

some of you have been coming to us every year/twice a year for over a decade.... thank you..... really.... that in itself is the most beautiful compliment you could ever have made. Never mind some of the lovely things you've said today....

One more day to go and I even managed to get some photos from the first two days (admittedly a couple were from last night out with Brambledown on "their" yacht).

Our best regards,
John & Indi

Ooooopppppeeeeen now

- i never do one of these but it feels fitting.

Our Last MCM London (most probably) is here!

It's been a most amazing over 10 years of coming down from the highlands to the big city. We really grew up at this convention transforming our lives as well as making many happy customers.

We are all setup now (see map below) and it would be amazing if you are here to go out with a bang. The show is bigger than ever before so you might have a harder than usual time finding us. We are somewhat tucked away towards to far wall of the hall.

Look for the Tiger! That one last time.

Our more humble regards,
John & Indi

p.s I really have made the biggest shield wall ever for this event.
p.p.s So much furry stuff just for you too.
p.p.p.s Oh and brand new zombie books in the Arcane library!

21/05/2026

Something a little bit different to celebrate our last MCM London....

8hrs of setup (minus the first couple of hours of photos i forgot to take)....

All done and ready for tomorrow!
