A BALLROOM FULL OF OLD TOYS
Vintage Toy Riot is the UK’s first vintage-only toy show, dedicated specifically to toys made before 2000
For our first event we’re taking over the Bournemouth Pavilion Ballroom and we are going to fill it with 100 tables of vintage toys.
Whether you’re hunting for something genuinely rare or you simply want to spend a few hours digging through the toys you remember from childhood, Vintage Toy Riot is being built for you.
SOMETHING DIFFERENT ON EVERY TABLE
Every dealer will bring something different. Expect toys spanning the 1960s through to the end of the 1990s, from affordable nostalgia to serious collector pieces.
ACTION FIGURES
Loose figures, carded examples, complete collections and childhood favourites from four decades of toy history.
VEHICLES & PLAYSETS
From small vehicles to the oversized playsets many of us spent years trying to convince our parents to buy.
BOXED & CARDED
Vintage packaging, sealed pieces and display-worthy examples for collectors looking for something special.
ROBOTS & MONSTERS
Mechanical weirdness, creatures, villains and things that probably terrified somebody’s parents in the 1980s.
TV & MOVIE TOYS
Toys inspired by the films, cartoons and television shows that filled childhood bedrooms and Saturday mornings.
THE WEIRD STUFF
Short-lived lines, obscure imports, strange ideas and toys you’ve completely forgotten existed.
NO ORDINARY TOY SHOW
Vintage Toy Riot has a clear focus: vintage toys manufactured before 2000.
The room won’t be dominated by modern Funko Pops, current-release action figures, modern Star Wars Black Series or Pokémon products and trading cards.
This isn’t about telling anybody what they should or shouldn’t collect. It’s about giving Vintage Toy Riot a clear identity.
When you walk through the doors, we want you to know exactly what kind of show you’ve come to.
Old toys. Great dealers. Proper collecting.
WHO’S BRINGING THE TOYS?
We’re bringing together the best vintage toy sellers and collectors from around the UK for one room dedicated entirely to pre-2000 toys
Our aim is approximately 100 tables, with confirmed dealers being announced throughout the build-up to the show.
EVENT CARD #001
The first 500 visitors through the doors at Vintage Toy Riot will receive the first ever Vintage Toy Riot collectible event card.
Most visitors will receive the standard Event Card #001.
Randomly mixed into the run will be a much smaller number of Event Card #001C — Chase Editions.
No upgrade. No extra purchase.
Which one you get is entirely down to luck.
