When & Where is the next Big Show

[luey]

Have the urge to travel, when & where is the next big show or shows? thanks! Greg

[luey]

anyone? Bueller?

Depends on what you mean. If you mean all-inclusive big it would be this but since the guests are the focus toys can be hit or miss. Always attracts a big crowd though.

The Dallas Comic-Con is in October...planning on going.

There is a comic/toy show in tampa in October. Probably not worth the drive. Megacon in orlando in the last part of Febuary usually. That pretty much has taken over as the future FX show now. More comics than toys, but still big and fun.

Even though I'm NOT a big fan of the show...NY Comic Con at the Javits Center here in NY is in October. Only reason I would ever go to the show anymore is if there is an artist there that I like or one that I have never met before. Ticket Prices are just RIDICULOUS for the show. It's basically become the San Diego Comic Con for NY. All FLASH and NO SUBSTANCE. If you like the so called "EXPERIENCE" then you might like the show. Don't know if Megos will be plentiful. I know that James Gallo has done the show in the past and so has Huck. Table rentals a few years ago were about $1500 - $2000 for a Booth area for the three day show.

This looks like a decent site with a calendar in it:

I want to set up at a god show, Thought about NY Comic Con, just wasn't sure about the booth price... want to split a table and put me up for the weekend?

Greg, I can't complain when it comes to Mego Meet. I always do well...but the amount that I would have to do, even if I did split the booth with you would have to be RIDONCULOUS for me to justify doing it as a seller. Tables at shows here in NY have been in the stratosphere for years. I think the last time I did an NYC show has to be 2002. I was paying $200 for an 8-10 ft table at the old Big Apple Comic Con in St. Paul's Church...and if that show didn't move as much stock as it did for me back then...I wouldn't have even considered doing the show. I hope that list of shows helps out. It's a shame you didn't mention it earlier...I would have told you to give Baltimore Comic Con a shot. Tables were reasonably priced and there is a big turn out at that show every year.

I appreciate the input, I just have to get out of TN for a few shows, that price would be really high but I do have an incredible amount of inventory right now I need to go through, burned out on eBay and miss the mystique of the days of the good ole toy show... Thanks guys, keep em coming!

The border might be a hassle but you should do a Toronto show.

Not sure if you're interested but my friend is running this show in November. The signature guests seem to be out of this world. Just saw him today and he has expanded dealer space to the second floor because of the response. Convention Center is pretty good sized been there many times. If you're interested LMK and I'll see what I can do for ya. I was going to arrange a mini meet and I'm pretty sure I can get a room for us at the center, but not sure of my total weekend arrangements yet. If anyone is planning on attending LMK and I'll see if I can move some things around and make it happen.

Is there a website for the comic toy show in Tampa in October ? I'm in Orlando so not a bad drive at all.
