Great Ohio Toy Show WOW (Lots of Pics)

[Jorge Galvan]

We got there right at opening last year, and we were in line for about a half an hour, I think. We BARELY got through every building, and the last one we probably didn't get to digest. But I think they've extended the hours this year to 5 PM for close, so it should be better.

Thanks, Chris. Like MRP mentioned, they have the 8am. Option as opposed to the 9am option. Which I what I am gunning for. But here is what I have working against me.


Driving FIVE HOURS from Chicago to Xenia.


I am on central time and the show is Eastern time!!

I WANT to hit the door at 8am. But I am guessing that crowd-control will be out the door. ****!

I have no idea of the weather


Gotta pace myself from 8 to 5pm


I have 7, SEVEN buildings to go through. Not sure how big they are.


Will I have time to double back? I barely do at St. Charles.


That's what I am up against. Plus of course need to bring my game face to wheel and deal.


Need Hanna-Barbera, Kaiju, Sid &Marty Krofft! Filmation and Golden Age comics!!! Trying to get my eye of the tiger...


Oh and from the "gossip" I heard the first 500 punters get a free copy of the new issue of TOYCOLLECTR magazine.

Woo hoo free ****!!!!

As to the weather, the forecast is calling for highs in the mid 60s but rain in the morning and scattered thunderstorms through the day.

Thank you MRP! Maybe a hoody? Of maybe I should ruff it as I am usually so hot-blooded in these situations.

OK. Not to be Cheeky, but is there a table number? Or a store banner/title/name????? Would love to pop bye, wish I would have time for a Cuppa...

[Jorge Galvan]

Onto Glory Ride...

[Mego-Amigo]

Sorry no table number. My wife will be wearing a Thundercats t-shirt and I will be wearing a Grace Baptist Church t-shirt. Hope to see you tomorrow.

I have been on the road for only an hour and I am still in the Chicago land area. It's 3:10 am and The rain is coming down like an avalanche. Sorry, I can't do it like this, and not with all the medication I am on either. My apologies to you Mego-Amigo. I can't tell ya how much this is going to bug me.



Jorge.

[Mego-Amigo]

No problem man. Take care of yourself. Always next time.

Greg had this for me when I got to the show. It was a great show though somewhat overwhelming. Unfortunately Daniel couldn't make it but we had a great time with Dustin and Greg. Met a lot of very nice people and made a lot of new friends

Dang, I was invited to do this show with a group of toy Youtubers, but family stuff kept me from going. I'd have financially ruined my family had I attended this.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Yes, trust me, you would have been in the dog house by the time this show was over! I think Cindy was considering taking away my credit card. One booth alone had the best collection of Batman items I've ever seen in person. Jaw-dropping.

Luckily we came with a budget to spend, so I walked away very happy. Got some great deals on some personal grail items.

Been meaning to post pics from this, as I shared them on the Pod Stallions FB page. Maybe this weekend.

FINALLY got around to uploading some of the pics from this Spring's Great Ohio Toy Show. First off is our family haul. The Batman and Marvel Lunchboxes were grails for me, and I got them at REALLY great prices, particularly the Batman. I was gobsmacked it was that low.

The rest are just pics I snapped. Some truly great stuff here, and things I had NEVER seen before. What a great day!
