    Chicago Kane County Show April 27th & 28th + C2E2

    Anybody else going? I will be set up in Kane County with LOADS of vintage goodies, plus hitting a storage unit on the way that pictures prove to be VERY promising... Saturday early buyers, Sunday open to everyone... C2E2 the same weekend, probably won't get to go (Maybe early Friday before my pick) but Toyman Chirs will be set up there as well and Jordan from Toy Hunter will be in the house (you better come see me Jordan!!) ... Hope to see some museum peeps there, I will be in the Prairie East Building (5 buildings of vintage toys)... Stay Green, buy vintage!!

    Oh man, I grew up going to this show and have some amazing memories. I found out about the date a bit late this year and don't think I'll be able to make it. I may scope out and see if I can use miles for a ticket and make it a last minute trip. Would be a quick turnaround time to go there and back, but I love this show- probably one of the main factors in me being the collector that I am.
    Looking for:
    • Lincoln Monsters (Any condition)
    • Boxed Mego Monsters
    • AHI Jigglers / Bendy Monsters (Carded and Loose)
    • ANYTHING Monster related

        Things are escalating quickly- I think my dad may be driving out, so I may try to fly in Friday and hit up C2E2, early entry to Saturday at Kane County and out Sunday morning. Luckily it's pretty reasonable as far as award travel goes... This may happen!

              Wow nice hah. I looked at the C2E2 website, do I need a ticket? I didn't see anything about it, really would only have time to go through the booths than anything else at the show probably.

                Yes, they do require a ticket.

                I will be working the Kane County Booth Saturday/Sunday. It's going to be a hectic (fun) weekend. LOL

                    I'll be there both days... you guys will have to let me know where your booths are and I'll come hunt you down =) or if anyone likes beer, that works for after the show too!

                    Also looks like I may hit up C2E2 on either Friday afternoon or later on Sunday

                        Beer is good, Austin took us to a great Pizza place right down from the show in St. Charles last time... I am in the Prairie East building, mostly vintage action figures, I should be section 202-204 or there abouts... Not sure about Chris, but I am betting he's close! Should be an awesome show, I am gonna post pics of my prep work later
