            I'd love to come. Unfortunately, I don't have the travel budget to get to Knoxville right now. I've been to AdventureCon several times because my Grandparents used to live in Knoxville. Maybe next year. Good Luck!

                Well, I'm still set to go. Looking forward to this! I haven't been to a Toy Show in close to 20 years! Been to lots of comic shows and cons like AdventureCon sure, but no Toy Shows. I'll try to keep my jaw off the floor but I make no promises!

                  Greg's show was a smash hit. I saw more vintage toys in one place than I have seen in years. I was able to pick up a few nice things for the collection too. You need to make this an annual event Greg. Thanks for making this happen.

                    Hey, I was there too! I was wanting to meet some fellow Museum members. Talked to Greg a few times.

                    I had brought some homemade beaded necklaces for members to use (or not) for their MEGO/ReMEGO figures. I gave Greg a few of them to hand out next time he meets some of you. My Brick is wearing one of the ones I made with colors used on the Plaid Stallions site.

                    I was so toy drunk I kept wandering around soaking things up and doing a little chit-chat here and there, I almost forgot there was a show going on. Picked up a nice stack of comics I used to own as a kid and the swivel-arm version of the old Stalker figure from the '80s G.I. Joe line to replace the one I had broken parts of trying to replace the o-ring. So I didn't leave empty handed.

                    Showed Greg my 1984 Richard Petty #43 car rack toy...that I forgot to get an appraisal of. I also forgot to write down what he told me I could use to remove those Sharpie marks from my MARX Creature statue that I showed him. Ummm...Did I mention I was toy drunk?

                    Overall I had lots of fun.

                            I didn't take a camera with me (forgot to recharge the battery the night before so I left it behind). However, I can take some pics of what I took along with me, and what I bought at the show.

                            I'll try to get pics up sometime over the next few days.

                              I will be there next year, and I'm going to dress up and win the costume contest. You've been warned.

                                Argh!

                                Okay, the pictures came out too dark. I'll adjust the camera settings, get more light on my stuff, and try again. I'll ask my brother for help this time as he's an amateur photographer with decades of experience at taking pictures. Should have done that the first time.
