      I was there back in 94 and 95 and it was absolutely amazing. Anything I wanted, I knew I could find there.
      With the advent of the internet I wonder if it is even half as good now. Seems like the only things I find at fleamarkets and conventions these days are the items that don't sell on Ebay.

        I haven't been since about 2000 or so. No idea how it is these days, but I think I remember someone about 5 years ago saying it's just a shell of what it used to be. Man, that show used to be glorious. If Huckabone set his booth up, you were sure to see some great stuff.

          A few years ago it was pretty good.
          There were Megos here and there, but I think they were pricey, but I can't remember for sure.
          I will most likely go unless something comes up.
          Here is a link to the site with dates, and there are pics from last October if you click the Home Page button.

          Then there is the Kane County Flea Market which is usually pretty good, but it's everything, not just toys.

            Greg,

            I was contemplating setting up this year. I am definitely gonna go shop it. Hit me up with a PM if you wanna meet up or whatever. It's a good show, lots of stuff and people there too buy.
