is there going to be an FX TOY show this year?

the last couple of years I haven't really found much, but there's always decent deals around

yeah this last go around, a lot of dealers said that they had had enough. They said the show had steadily declined over the years and its not a fraction of what it used to be. There are no toy shows around where I live so I will still go regardles.

FX has been going up against Megacon for the Orlando market and it appears Megacon has won. The move to a May date may have been an attempt to distance even more from Megacon. Not a lot of vintage toys at Megacon, but they advertise much better than FX and are at the same venue. As was said, many of the vendors I know for up north will not be returning even if FX does happen. I think the problem is with the promoter Mike Hertz. He's been phoning it in for a few years now.

I agree, but I hate that about megacon, they should have more vintage toy dealers there

Looks like whoever is hosting the site has an infected server. Probably best to stay clear of the site until the webmaster gets the chance to clean-up the server.

I have been going to the FX show for almost twenty years. I think I have only missed one or two. I agree that the date change last year was a teribble mistake. Still, I walked away with more good deals on vintage toys last year than I have in the past 2-3 years. I saw a complete Remco Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea playset loose and complete for $300 and I almost never even see pieces to that one. I also saw other people spending money. For me, the downer was having it later in the year and Leonard Nimoy charging $65 for an autograph which wasn't happening as far as I was concerned. Other than that I thought it was a good show. I sincerely hope they do not cancel it. Megacon is the place to go for comics and Jap animation stuff but FX has always been THE Florida show for vintage toys.
