Burlington Toy Con this weekend!

[palitoy]

Setting up along with Sam Noir and Chris Jeffreys this Sunday at Canadian Toy Con which seems to have greatly expanded into a Magic the Gathering show as well, there's workshops for the kids, cosplay, special guests and of course, tons of vintage toys.

I'll be the guy dressed as Sailor Moon, hoping to win the costume contest!

I wish we had things like that here.

You might have better luck as the Ikea monkey!

If only I had that cute little coat.

Should have taken more photos but here are a few, the new venue was really terrific. I felt like I was on the set of Land of the Lost.

Sold a good amount of books too, total win, very happy with the turn out.

At shows, do people know you as "that mego museum guy" or that "plaid stallions guy" ?

I think I'm mostly known as "Brian" or "Star Wars kids dad". People seem to know my kid better than me.

Love seeing the Canadian Black Hole bedsheet ... It makes the US version look like total crap

Anyone at the show who sells Star Wars stuff definitely knows your son. I also thought the show went great, and the new place is really classy. I thought our table had a great location, and being surrounded by plants added to the atmosphere. Nice pics, I always forget to take a pic of my stuff, my son always wants to see what the table looked like, so now I have something to show him. Looking foward to the next one! (I'm pretty sure that I should be able to get back from Japan in time for it).

Is that your guys table? Who had the Denys Cyborg? Still for sale?

[samurainoir]

I had a fun time as always. The new location is terrific, and I would totally do this show anytime just to hang out with cjefferys and palitoy for the day. Can't wait for the March Show!


Some great coverage of the Con here.

Hey, I know that kid!

[samurainoir]

We were joined this time by Monster Matt Patterson, and hopefully he'll have some of his Monster painting prints at the next show! I'm sure folks around here might be interesting in purchasing prints of his monster paintings.

Nice pics! Very much looking forward to the next one (who do I owe table money to?), hope I'm not too jet-lagged. Now, if we can only get people to stop groping the toys!
