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.

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.

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!)

Sure enough, the guy running the show opens the door and these 3 chuckle heads start for the door. Thankfully the guy running the event had enough sense to stop them. He held up his hand and said "Hold on. Where were you guys in the line?" They told him they were in the middle and as I walked by I said "Yeah right". :evil:
I left bad about letting my own brother and nephew in with me and these 3 jokers wanted to cut in front of eveyone else. Man, some people really need to clue in. What the hell makes them think they are better than anyone else in line? At least the guy running it was cool enough to not let them get away with it. :thumbsup:

LOTS of Star Wars, some Joes, Some TFs.
I wouldn't call it an 80's show.... since there seems to be alot of 90's crap (and newer stuff - marvel legends, hot wheels, etc) at it.
Face it Brian, the only good shows left anymore are the Toronto ones. ;-)

As for older stuff, I think I've grown tired of the "I can get "this much' for that on ebay".
Meh?.... I'm not going. I went to the Toronto show, had a blast, spent some money. I'm going to the next Toronto show as well. Admission is about the same, but there's a MUCH wider selection to pick from.

There were a lot more joe dealers and TF dealers than Star Wars dealers this time. I picked up the De Aco parts that I was interested in, and fished out a mint incomplete worms, hot seat, astronaut and gyro viper out of a $1 bin. Also picked up the 90's fireflys that I army buildfor 4 for $10, but I accidently got the wrong color. oops. I passed on an incomplete Rolling thunder and a Bugg that were going for $8 each - I just don't have the space.
I picked up an incomplete but decent stun for my daughter for $5 so she won't have to play with the mint complete one that I bought at the BHT closing. ;-) .
I saw the masterpiece prime with trailer. Man that thing is beautiful. Would that I could afford it and had the space to display it.
Not exactly worth the $10 admission, but since they let my daughter in free, I'm not really complaining. For $10 at the door, I'm expecting some sort of events or speakers or games or something other than vendors. If there was something other than vendors, I missed it.

Also, Mike. Call or PM me next time you go up to the Toronto show. Maybe I'll be able to go up with you.

I'm into that as well. I'd like to go to the next TO show.

MICHELANGELO BANQUET CENTRE
1555 UPPER OTTAWA ST.
HAMILTON
10 A.M. TO 3 P.M.
ADMISSION $2
I wasn't impressed at the last one, but I do need some Countdown arms. ;-)
The 'Saturday Morning Posse' are making me go. (Walt & Shu-V).
The stuff I'm looking for you just don't find at these small shows - and if you do, the seller usually thinks it's worth much more than it really is.
Oh.... I should take some flyers for the Joe Meet as well. ;-)

I'm going to be there early as I have to drop something off to someone inside.
But if you guys want to join me when it opens, just say the word and I'll stick around!
Gotta find those Countdown'89 figures.... so if you have some - bring them!
:-)
