Anybody going to the Kane County Toy Show?

[Evel KMego]

I'm heading up to Chicago this weekend for the Kane County Toy Show. I've been there about 5 times in the past. It is usually a good show, with a large variety of stuff. The last few times the amount of Mego stuff was down though. Kane County is where I first met and purchased from Mark Huckabone. I know Charlie is going on Sat. for the early show, I hope he doesn't buy all the good stuff before I get there!
Anyhow, hopefully it'll be a good one and I plan on posting some pics.

I have assembeld a Mego Muti-National Task Force comprised of members from no less than 3 different countries. We have planned an early morning egg McMuffin raid followed by a covert assault starting at the the Pork tent.

Many of my dollars will bravely sacrifice themselves for the greater good of my toy collection. They won't be forgotten.

James, we might be going back on Sun. I'll keep an eye out for you if we do.

Hope you guys have a great time and score some good deals.
I was in Chicago on a business trip two years ago at the time of the Kane show. Unfortunatelly, I did not have time to get up to Kane . I was always dissapointed that I could not go,,, maybe someday!

I've made it the last 3 years, but I've got other stuff that was scheduled for Sunday so I'm going to miss out. I've made some good pickups there in the past, more that likely some of the stuff that Charlie and Co. probably passed on when they made the Saturday runthrough.

On Saturday, I was part of the International strike force comprised of Charlie, Dan and Will. Despite having a camera around my neck the entire day, I only managed two pictures. They're pretty good though.


This cabinet contained a lot of holy grails for a lot of people.


There were two of these at the show this time but this one was superior.

There was some nice Mego stuff at the show, I mostly bought Remco Monster stuff however. On my drive home, I managed to hit another toy show and a comic show, I think I'm burned out now.

Nice shots Brian, thanks.

True call about that cabinet, every time I look I spot another treasure! Aurora, Cap Act, Ideal, ahhhh.

Cheers,
Will

That set up really was a thing of beauty, there were some other amazing rarities around but many didn't last the whole day.

I never got to photograph Mark Huckabone's set up because he showed up two minutes before close.

And my eyes immediately go to that Batman #1 on the top shelf.

I never even noticed it until Charlie pointed it out to me, my eyes were having trouble focusing.

Ok, here's my report. I guess the International strike force kinda stole my thunder, but I made it to the Sunday show and had a good time. Overall, the show size was down, but the amount of Mego stuff was up, especially since Mark Huckabone showed up! I ran into Charlie, who was there on Sunday as well, and chatted with him and Mark. I also met Mego Geek Jr. , a very cool young man who I apologize for leaving out of my pics. I picked up a MOC Peter Burke and a MIB Remco Frankenstein from Mark, and a couple of small items elsewhere. Here's my pics.....

I don't think we stole your thunder, you took better pictures! Great stuff, some of it I didn't get to see thanks to my brief time in Chicago.



I remember unloading this stuff from his van but got kicked out before I could look at it. I don't think I've been at a show with Mark where I didn't get kicked out.
