Robin for Christmas
Royal Mail issued special Robin faststamp for Christmas on Nov. 6th. As we know, the motif comes from the faststamp of 2010. But it made a little bit modification on pattern. All the faststamps' pattern are consist of text 'ROYALMAIL', this time it changed one letter 'L' to digital '2', could be 'ROYALMAI2'.
Due to printing lot deviation, the Robin has a little bit color deviation. You can see, the fruits are close to purple, not rose red like belore.
Above scan comes from machine Wincor-Nixdorf. Learnt it have Hytech version on Camden Christmas Post Shop in London.

Nordia 2012
Like year 2009, 2010, this stamp fair was took place still at Roskilde during Nov. 2th - 4th. There are two special ATM issues to ceremony the event.
First issued on Oct. 15th, only available at two post offices in Roskilde. The minimum value is DKK 0.25 at post office Industrivej 28, the minimum value is DKK 8.00 in another post office at Jernbanegade 3A.
This label is only on sale at both post offices from Oct. 15th until Nov. 5th.
The DKK 8.00 label is also available at the stamp fair, Nov. 2th - 4th. Collectors can not order this issue from Philately Service, visiting Roskilde is the only way.
The second issued on Nov. 2th, there are three labels, available on the stamps fair starting at DKK 6.00. Customer can order from Philately Service for multi-pack with 3 labels, value DKK 6.00, 8.00, 12.00.
Both of above issues, also including 2009 Roskilde used the same Cathedral, should be very famous I supposed.
There is lowercase in the serial number of second issue, that is the character on some special ATM in past years, guess they are comming from the same machine.

Taiwan Temple
Issued for Rocupex'101 on Oct. 11th, Taiwan Post rolled out 3 colors on it, Black, Red, Green on the event place.
Beijing International Stamp&Coin Expo. 2012
There is no such many stamps agency from overseas. Here is the list, Nordic Post(Danmark, Iceland, Sweden, Faroe, Aland, Greenland, Finland, they combined one booth.), Austria Post, New Zealand Post, Australia Post, Macao Post, Hongkong Post, Singapore Post, Philately Liechtenstein Post, Post of DPR Korea, Swiss Post, Luxemburg Post, Ukraine Post, Peru Post, Nordfrim(Denmark), IGPC International Postal Agency, Prinz Verlag GhbH(Germany), Globa Phila(Lithuania), Russia, appreciation of stamps of the Soviet Union, Cover Story(UK), Stanley Gibbons(Royal Mail, Isle of Man PO, Guernsey PO, Jersy Post Limited), Phila Post(Netherland), Fauna-stamps.com(Czech Republica).
There is only one stamp exhibition, topic is Red Memory about CCP performance and histroy.
Many collectors had one Philatelic Passport to collect vendor's cancellation. I think main incomming of vendors is from the cancel service, 10 RMB one stamp and one cancellation. On the booth of Cover Story, who provide UK and Germany cancellation service, even they prepared German ATM for the passport.
Nordic Booth
Well, back to ATM. Only Faroe Post have that to sell, issues from 2008 to 2012 in standard value. I bought one 2008 and 2012 strips, the price is more expensive than eBay or order from Faroe Post thru email. The list price is 37 RMB (4.62 Euro) for strip of 2008, 40 RMB (5 Euro) for strip of 2012. Supposed it is because it involve the currency exchange, tax payment, and travel cost.
The serial number of two strips are very close, only the last 3 digits are different. So I guess they are printed from the same batch for the fair, that means Faroe Post still kept some blank label of old issue for future event.
Inquired with Danmark, Swiss Post they dont' have also any ATM. By the way, 'Automatenmarken' is more understanding than 'Franking labels' on the booth.
Philapost found 5 Klussendorf labels on its box, I bought 2 minimum value of them, 26 RMB total. Both have number on backside.
Fauna-stamps.com found one strip of pip and cattle issue from UK, one set of duck from Aland. I bought one minimum value 0.75 Euro of Duck ATM in 10 RMB.
Electric Van
Mid Electric Van from France on 1904, IER machine, issue date: Oct. 16th.
