Collectors Gazette | August 2026
Games Workshop, Swiss LEGO® Treasures, and Space Age Collectables
The August issue of Collectors Gazette explores the stories, collections and communities that make the hobby so rewarding.
This month, George Chrysostomou charts the remarkable evolution of Games Workshop, from its tabletop gaming roots to a global collecting phenomenon, while Keith D’Souza visits a fascinating private LEGO® museum in Switzerland packed with rare sets, community builds and brick-built history.
Elsewhere, Gerald Edwards continues his exploration of Space Age collectables, uncovering the unusual free gifts, trading cards and ephemera inspired by the race to the stars.
Ann Evans and Rob Tysall meet members of the Cartophilic Society of Great Britain to discover the enduring appeal of card collecting, while Rebecca visits BP Fairs’ Coventry Toy Fair to experience the community spirit behind the hobby.
Alongside collecting news and stories, Ed Karswell reflects on six years of Toy Stories, and we round up the latest auction highlights and collectable sales from across the country.
