This one happens first weekend of every month in Wayne, NJ. It tends to be alot of the same stuff at every show so I don;t go every month.

WAYNE TOY & COLLECTIBLE SHOW

Same stuff at every show

That is what has killed a lot of shows - it's always the same merch
and the same people so you stop going. This is why the big shows
with lots of guests are thriving.

Of course the big shows have become more promotion than selling
merchandise.

I kind of agree with this too...except i think ebay is what has killed alot of shows..that and the admission price to some of these! wizard world - $50,megashow - $25 etc..etc...

I couldn't agree more. This is the reason my wife and I try to put some time between attendance of the same area shows. Even then the merchandise if fairly similar.
