Columbus Ohio Toy Show March 22nd

I'm setting up a table at the show. Usually you can spot many Museum members there.

The family and I are planning on coming. I've been promising my girl a trip to the American Girl store, and doing that on a weekend with one of your famous toy shows was a no brainer. We'll stop by and say hi!

I expect to be there. Look for the guy in the Mego Museum shirt with an extra five or ten pounds from winter.

I have new glasses, so, unless nearly 80 years of comics are wrong, you may not recognize me.

I might waddle on down, IDK.

I agree, Museum wear is a must for me at a show. Looking forward to seeing you guys!

[Earth 2 Chris]

I'll dig out one of my Mego shirts for the weekend as well!

I'm almost always there. Just look for me in my Prisoner T shirt!

Steve, I still have that set of Mego Museum cards for you and your kids if you still want them. I'll bring them with me.

Awesome - please do;-)

I think I am going. I have a group of costuming friends that may go too. I will not be getting a table -and I don't plan to buy anything. BUT -how can I resist the chance to wander around amongst the World's Greatest Superheroes: EMCE Hammer, Earth Chris 2, PNGwynne and durgos.

Oh and don't give Steve the Mego Museum Cards -I'll pay double what he is paying (which I think was $0 -so what the heck, I'll triple it.)

Hey Brue - how's the van coming?

[Brue]

I purchased the paint. I stripped the van -it has no windows, seats, ...nothin'. I primed it. I am hoping to shoot the paint over spring break. Then i can start putting it back together -then detail it like the Joker van. With LOTS of luck it will be done by Mego Meet. However, with the meet in Chicago, i am not sure if i will drive it.
Though I question driving a 40+ year old van that far -The '06 KIA sedona we own wouldn't start during the sub zero temps. The other car was behind it, so I thought -Well, the bus is rear engine in front. And yes, after 2 months of sitting in sub zero temps it started and charged the newer van.

Does it pay to do the "early bird" thing and pay for the hour early entry? I'm not sure I can rouse my brood that early, but I may be able to do it.

I definitely had a fun time! I spotted several mego(members) in the wild. Steve had ridiculously low priced stuff. But we had a mission of Ewoks for Eleanor and went away with not one but 2 different Ewok playlets, a few woks and a few other star wars figures. I also saw Dan and Chris but failed to connect with other MM members.

One of the coolest things there was a hand made Millennium falcon that was several feet long. All recycled materials. I talk to the artist about trying to do the small scale falcons in schools, and he gave me one to try to push the idea.

I parked at my church a quarter mile away and walked -so no parking fee. I cam in costume with Heroes Alliance -so no entry fee. I only brought $16 thinking I would just not spend. But When we saw Ewok set #2 a friend was with us and loaned us $10. Another vendor let me use paypal for $30. still the total cost for the day was only $55 and we had a great haul.
