It was alot of fun.Exhausting though!
Our main objective was to plug the book and we sold 2 or 3 by the end of
the day,so it was all worth it I think!!And our display definitely garnered ALOT of attention to say the least!!
Always good to hang w RC and the Ben-ster and all that bee-utiful MEGO!!
Let's do it again soon!!!!

Thanks for posting photos. I'm in LA, and I kept almost going, but in the end a 4 year old birthday party won out. I least I got ice cream. I'll try to make the next one if there is a next one. Bryan

Are you ever up in the Bay Area? Great photos, but I wish I could have been there.

[QUOTE][Hey Ben, what's up with that super cool WGT poster?

By the way, I was supposed to send Rob cards for this show and I wasn't able to do it in time. My bad.

Hey Ben, what's up with that super cool WGT poster?

It's a prototype of an idea I had, a little sump'n sump'n I thought might look cool. Still working out the details, but I made two small prototypes; one for Mike and one for Rob. I did have some inquiries about them and had to explain they weren't for sale.

Perhaps in the near future...

Anyway, it was an amazing show. I had a customer PayPal me last night, picking up the items in person today (she lives in the same town in which I work). Didn't really expect to sell my MIB Kristy McNichol, nor did I expect to sell it to a drop-dead gorgeous, Peta Wilson look-alike. But the show did have its surprises.

Despite the hard work schlepping toys back and forth, I'm already looking forward to next month's show. It should be a doozy.

Yes,the carded 1975a Lizard (a recent aquisition of mine purchased from dumbidor) has been resealed.

The reseal was done by me.

I really only had him there to amp up the wow factor at our booth.
He's not for sale.

Here's a closer look...

Wish I could have gone. Love that little poster Benjamin, and would be interested in one if you decide to go ahead and produce them.

[Meule]

Now that's the kind of booth I would love to see at toy shows here

[argent007]

That is an amazing table! It sounds like a fair amount of the items shown may be still available. If so, I'd be interested in talking to you about some of the 8" WGSH. There are a number of figures that I'm potentially interested in.

Is it okay to PM you about them? Who should I contact?

Thanks!

[rchatlin]

You can contact either Benjamin, Mike or myself.

We can put you in touch with the owner of the figures you're interested in.
