            I actually ended up going to that show since I was visiting family in the area... it was decent. Totally different show depending which day you went. Saturday was a crowded zoo, Sunday was pretty chill and much more lightly attended. We did the early bird Saturday and the amount and quality of stuff there when we came back Sunday (my brother got a commission from one of the artists at the show and had to come back to pick it up) didn't seem to decrease all that much, to my surprise.

            Pricing seemed way up at some booths, though - don't know if it's the perception that there's a lot of money in that area or real increases in what this stuff is going for, but some things I was interested in that just seemed way too high sat there both days, in spite of many sellers' insistence there were lots of interested people and those items would surely be gone.

            EDIT: Also of note - not much in the way of Mego stuff there. A few things here and there, but not too much.

              Jimbutsu: was there a lot of VINTAGE stuff? (60's, 70's) or was it mostly current, 90's, 80's stuff?? Been on the fence for over a year traveling from Chicago to San Jose to check it out. Please let me know, thanks.
