I know a few regulars form here are going but I cna't make it this year. It is a good small to mid size show. They'll have a really good spread of vintage and current products from a lot of of different toylines. Right when you walk in Maraduer and BossFight will be taking up a huge portion of the lobby area. If you see a short line at Marauder's table, jump on it for their latest offers. BossFight is going to have some new reveals. Take it in. Talk to them.

Inside the main showroom, nova will be there with his cast items and vintage o-ring stuff. Even if I don't buy anything (which is...never), I still drop in and see what he has that I've never seen in person before. He, Roma Collectables, and somtimes krymsynGard666 (with his own cast items) usually take up the far right side of the room (closes to the loading door). I don't know if that is true this year but that is where they've been in the past. Regardless, who I know selling, I spread it around picking up fodder and collection bits alike. It doesn't take too long to walk the room, but if you hesitate, whatever you wanted will be gone your next lap through.

Some tips. Get your raffle ticket(s) in. They really do offer great prizes, to the point the show stops when they read off the numbers. Dig through bins. I've found some gems and buried treasure tucked away under tables because the dealer threw a bunch of stuff in a bin at the end of the last show. Haggle. Any other time and place, I hate haggling. Just tell me the price. Toy shows are different. Almost everything is negotiable especially the more you are spending. Oh and bring more cash than you think you'll spend. That ATM has run out of money before. Talk to people. You will be surrounded by people who are passionate about the same thing you are. Let your geek flag fly. The hotel bar and grill is right there, so use it to take a break, grab a drink, get off your feet before diving back in. Have fun. Take pics.
