Local Southern Ontario Toyshows
« on: September 13, 2006, 11:45:46 PM »
just wondering if anyone is hitting the shows going on in the area.  there was a surprise Joe Canuck mini meeting with a few of us in Burlington last weekend, but with shows coming up in hamilton and Kitchener, I was wondering if that's where you guys go hunting for stuff now that BHT is not around.  i know it's hit or miss at shows, but last Sunday I scored quite a few Joe items (THANKS GUYS!!!) plus a Mego General Lee, so sometimes it's worth checking out.  thoughts?

I mentioned this a before while talking with Mike and the only decent show to hit in Kitchener is the one during Oktoberfest on the 8th so if anyone was thinking about it in my neck of the woods then that's the one to hit.

I hardly go to toy shows any more.  The motivation is gone.  Plus the days of finding gems are gone, especially with sellers buying the good stuff during bird specials the day before.  It defeats the purpose to go in my book.

Just got back from the Oktoberfest toyshow. Not a great year this time around. Beeker and I walked around the floor talking for a bit and he pointed out a Rumbler figure that I needed so it was a good time but the deals just were not around. Oh well, still had a good time.

I must have missed you (was wearing the green cargoes w/ blue backpack) when I came in somwhere around 2pm and left shortly after.

It wasn't at all great, but I grabbed a decent Lion-O figure, but there were very few offerings for Joes there that I needed.

Have to agree with morgardee, the show was a bit of a disapointment. Most if any of the joes there were over priced with no accessories included. But hey i guess thats what you get when a smelly eighty year old man is selling joes.  All i got was a first gen optimus prime. I don't  collect TF's but my Child hood Prime is in ruff shape and for $20, i could'nt give it up when it had both fists and stiff joints. Nice meeting you again Dave, you'll have to come over some time for a beer and shoot the sh*t. Hopefully ill have started the base of my display case.  SID, you probably would of missed us, We were there in the morning around 11am or so.

i was there at when they opened, and although there wasn't much in the Joe department, i was happy with what i did i grab:  two boxed Mego Action Jackson figures with two boxed outfits, a Mego Ponch figure, two Fisher Price Adventure People and a copy of GI Joe #86 (marvel run).  I'm heading to the the show at Michaelangelo's this morning...hopefully i'll have some Joe luck there....

I'm going to go on record and say that it's going to be a card & Hot wheels show.

I know of one person taking real toys.

Well,
As I thought, the Hamilton one just plain sucked.

I spent a total of $62.00.

And nothing was for me.
I mainly picked up soem superheroes for some friends of mine.

I expect the Toronto Show this Sunday will be better.

I did see about 12 or 15 of my past customers there, along with Steve, Radio Guy, and....... Collectorman!? (A blast from the past for sure!)
