    Kane County Recap

    Another good show at Kane County this past weekend. A little down from last year, but not much. Talked to Charlie(MegoGeek), always great to see him. Weather was great and I got some good buys!!!
    First some show pics. I never take enough. :

      Darn, totally slipped my mind about going....

      The Joe dealer had a ton of stuff. I wonder if that Aquanaut has the original box, I'm needing one of those.

        No, the only boxed Joes are what you see in the pic. Everything else was loose.

            Well there's a box there, but it's probably a reproduction

              Chicago was a great show way back when I can't justify spending the gas money to deal with stubborn dealers who want over fair market value. Heck I don't like doing that at local shows. Before eBay the toy shows were all we had for better or worst. Looks like you got a weekend good haul though. Keep the collecting spirit alive.

                I still prefer going to shows over Ebay whenever possible. How many times have you bought something off Ebay only to find a litho tear, crease, etc. that wasn't visible in the pic or described well by the seller? At shows you can inspect the item over before forking over the dough!

                  Castle Dracula colorforms. Nice haul! I looked at those and considered getting them. If they were $25 cheaper, I may have grabbed them.
                  Great show, but monster stuff was hard to come by!!

                            Never seen that Colorforms set before. That's really sweet! Man, I wish I could get to that show...or one like it!

                              Nice haul! I was there and enjoyed it, though I didn't pick up too much this time. Focused more on getting stuff for my wife's Barbie and Halloween/Xmas collections rather than my own.
