Arcade Barn has closed
« on: January 19, 2012, 01:41:57 PM »
Probably a lot of people in the collectors scene have heard of this brilliant UK project http://www.arcadebarn.co.uk/index.php

Too bad that the guy running it has had to close it. Way too expensive and time-consuming.

I'm very sad to see it have to close. Although I am lucky enough to live only 50 miles away so have visited at least every 2 weeks. I will miss my weekend trips there  :'(

To feel better I had to buy some more cabs for my collection!

So sad, I really wish they had promoted the closing before hand and had a closing down weekend bash ;(
