Quebec / Re: 2015 MONTREAL RETRO EXPO (1st Edition) February 8th

Because I know that the question was asked before, now that the convention has come and gone, I can confirm that there were dealers with lots of Gi Joe, particularly the o-rings joes.

An attendance of 1100 persons was recorded, WOW! And we even recorded our biggest Snow Storm in along time for the duration of the event : YO-SNOW, WAY TO GO! :-)

First picture is up. It's Wreckage and it looks pretty nice.

If it keeps up like this I might renew my membership and get this years set. I'll know when I see a few more figures.

I like Wreckage. His paint deco is true to the prototype that was originally intended for his character back in the 80's, until they decided to cancel him from the ARAH line.

Great research finds Sundance. I'm quite surprised at the vast amount of unique characters in the Estrella line. I think it was a smart move from them to make per say, Grunt v.1 and Grunt v.2 different characters. This allowed for more versatility when playing with the figures.

I edited my statement due to bad grammar.

@ Pete: do you work in water retention / storm drainage ?

How can you miss the area.  It has a giant orange around the corner (yes, I know that flood trap of an area from work).

Yep! The giant orange is an actual concrete sphere building situated along the Decarie Expressway, dating back to its last relocation and resizing, and that was in 1966. It houses a drive-in restaurant called 'Gibeau Orange Julep'. Every wednesday (particularly during the summer) is held a classic car and motorbike event in the parking lot. Car enthusiasts gather there to show off their Retro and classy Hot Wheels.

Is it a bigger place compared to the montreal toycon ?

Thanks for asking 80m8!

According to the organizer, it is ;-)

If you have been to a card hobby show before over there, we are taking over MORE than the space they once occupied, I was told.

HOWEVER, regardless of this event's comparable size, one thing you should ALL really be looking forward are the NEW dealer faces that you didn't see at the Mtl Toy Con, and at a 2$ admission fee, nobody can't possible lose! :-)

Off Topic / Target to close all its stores in Canada
« on: January 17, 2015, 09:38:38 PM »
I know this made the news a couple days ago, but in case you missed it here is the coverage. Target to close all its operating stores across Canada:

http://globalnews.ca/news/1774232/target-plans-to-discontinue-canadian-operations/

While I did not shop much for toys at Target, my wife and I find their maternity clothes section to be very good. I very rarely made my groceries there, and I only bought one Target toy exclusive ONCE and that was a gift for my nephew. Prices were okay, but not good enough to justify the driving to over there and making it my main shopping destination. Target opened its first store in Canada in 2013...
