[almitysufx]

last minute plans my daughter and i are going to the toy show wanted to know if anyone else was. maybe we could meet up. we'll be there in the morning until around 11 am

[Duncan]

I'll be there, though I've decided not to get a table. Similar time frame to you, 8-11ish.

[EMCE Hammer]

I will be there with my oldest mini-me, but I am not setting up either this year. Just too much going on. We'll be there from 8am-ish on. Race you to the junk........

And don't eat the chili dogs.

[Duncan]

I'll be in a Schrute Farms Beets t-shirt, if anyone wants to say hi.

[almitysufx]

Pm's sent. I'll be watching for you two.

Well, I went and had a good time but didn't meet anyone. I did OK as far as loot. I'm posting prices because I think I got good values.

- T1 Aquaman in good shape, but dirty. He looks really nice post-bath; almost perfect T1 with nylon shorts. $15
- Lizard Ape , no pants , no weapon, 1 glove. $15
- AJ lot of 2 figs & quart-sized bag of accessories. $20
- Assorted DVDs, including 2 Ultraman series, Bolar Wars, Black Adder pilot, etc. $5 each
- uncut sheet of Wacky Packs from '70s (1st series?) $30

- A large Target bag (trash-bag size) of Littlest Pet Shop & Polly Pockets. $35 - Bargain of the day. My daughter will be psyched.

Also, I saw someone blowing out Toy Biz & Playmates stuff for $1-$2. It was moving, but not quickly. And I saw lots and lots of stuff that I kept thinking was overpriced by 30-50%. I'm spoiled by e-bay.

Great scores,was it a crowded show?

Great scores,was it a crowded show?

When I left around 10, yes. It was more crowded than I remember from past shows, too. There weren't a ton of 8:00 arrivals, but it picked up after 9:30. I'd estimate that there were 2-3 buyers per table when I left, so maybe 150-200 people at that time.

Ed and I found each other, but we missed you! It sounds like you were getting all the deals while we were asleep. I picked-up a Hypnos, a weird Spidey knock-off, a TZ Foster, and a ton of stuff for my son.

[Toy Talk]

I made it around 12pm with my wife and two oldest kids. We had the time of our lives. The show was great! There was quite a bit more mego merchandise than I expected. I walked away with an Evil Knievel stunt set, a boxed Remco Mummy, a couple complete boxed Marx cowboys, and some really nice G.I. Joe stuff.
The best part was I spent less than $120 for everything. My kids loaded the hump as well. Hayden played with his Secret Wars Tower and figures until he fell to sleep and the G.I. Joe stuff we brought back for Carson went over like Christmas time. Emsley loaded up on Disney pins for her collection and took her younger sister Amelia back some vintage Strawberry Shortcake figures.
Top the day off with dinner at Spaghetti Warehouse and the day was a family fave! Sorry I missed everyone.

...I walked away with an Evil Knievel stunt set...

On the Evel K, was that the Scramble Van with the chopper motorcycle? I was tempted on that set, but it would've been for my kids to destroy, and was a bit too much $ for that purpose. If that's the one you got, that's a nice set; cool bike.

[Godzilla]

Crap I'm sorry I missde everyone. My family was there from 9:30 until about noon. My kids were dressed up as a red Power Ranger and Ultarman if anyone remembers them.

The show seemed to be better attended than the last couple. I saw some really great stuff and people were really blowing out stuff. One guys at a booth just handed me a dinosaur model and said take it.

[EMCE Hammer]

Crap - I remember the red ranger but didn't even realize it was you.

[almitysufx]

It was a good, great way to start the day. I also eyed that box of E.K. stuff but passed. Laura was a mego finding bloodhound. I did get a few good finds.
Dirty Iron Man w/ 1 glove and both boots. A nice AJ in lt blue hooded jumper and wt boots. A very good condition Fonzie complete. and my fave find of the day, a type 2, no boots and ripped up pants - $15. I just got a minty set of clothes and boots about 2 weeks ago so as soon as I got home I re-dressed him.
It was great running into Steve, sorry I missed you Duncan.
Laura even found a few things and seemed to enjoy herself.

- uncut sheet of Wacky Packs from '70s (1st series?) $30

I wonder if it's the same one I bought on eBay years back? I think I paid $25 so you got a good deal. They were supposed to have been discovered in an old warehouse.


Once I clean out the closet it is in I will post a picture of it.
