If it's anything like last year, don't get your hopes up.

Funny considering there were a bunch of people selling Joes at the show...boxed, loose, foreign, new, old...it was all there.

But i digress...more news that Joe collectors should like!

The Edmonton Collectible Toy and Comic Show is proud to announce the inclusion of four exciting Collecting Panels to the day's programming! We're proud that our show attracts expert collectors from across North America and to be able to offer specialized panels that are normally reserved for larger conventions in the US.

The panels will take place in Salon 3, which is located just one floor down from Hall A and will begin at noon. Seating will be limited so we encourage people to arrive early for the panels they wish to see. The panel schedule is as follows:

Noon - 12:45pm: GI Joe!
With Mark Bellomo
Mark Bellomo, author of The Ultimate Guide to 3 3/4" GI Joe will discuss the 3 3/4" GI Joe toyline, it's remarkable history and design. Be sure to catch this panel as the material shown here has not been seen before and will only be shown at two other conventions in North America this year!


1pm - 1:45pm: Girls Love Toys Too!
With Alyssa Loney, Karlee Wilson and Jennifer Crebas
Alyssa Loney, Karlee Wilson, and Jennifer Crebas have assembled some of the finest "girl toy" collections around. Join the girls as they take you through tours of their See Wees, My Little Pony, Pete's Dragon, Pullip and Dal doll collections and discuss a wide variety of toy lines that might appeal to collectors of the fairer sex.

3pm - 3:45pm: Collecting Comics 101
With Jay Bardyla
Jay Bardyla is the owner of Happy Harbor Comics; Canada's Best Comic Store and throughout his years of experience as both a comic collector and shop owner he's gained some keen insight on buying, collecting, and investing in comics and is here to give the skinny on the do's and don'ts of all three.

4pm - 5:30pm: Star Wars Collecting: The Best of Celebration
With Gus Lopez, Chris Georgoulias, Ron Salvatore
Three of the founding members of The Star Wars Collectors Archive will be on hand to give a presentation covering the best of their talks at Lucasfilm's past Celebration conventions. Topics include Star Wars Collecting 101, Collecting in the Large, Recycled and Hilarious Star Wars Collectibles and Star Wars Props!

In addition there will be exhibits featuring original GI Joe and Transformer concept and packaging artwork and rare toys never before seen publicly!

I apologize, my memory of that day may be in error, and as I arrived later in the day I may have missed out on a lot of stuff. However, I do remember spending a couple hundred bucks. And snow. I remember snow.

The panels sound pretty cool. Anybody up for a mini-forum meet for the Joe one?

Ugh, don't remind me about the snow! LOL...this year looks good weather-wise!

I'm hoping to catch some of Mark's panel and might be around. Definitely keep an eye out for the guy in the staff badge with a shaved head, tattoos and stretched earlobes...he might look a little frantic too. Cause that'll be me. :)

Okay you were the guy everybody was looking for all day! LOL

Well there were lots of Joes around this time. Lots of colourful folks as well. I'll have to catch Mr Bellomo some other time as I slept in and didn't get there until 12:30. Gives me an excuse to go to the Con in Hamilton!

My aim was to pick up the Lt. Falcon comic pack and the MASS DVD set 5. I managed to get one Falcon in package (w/Nemesis of course) and one loose, but no luck with the DVD.

There were a lot of good deals to be had, and everybody looked like they were having a good time.

And hey - no snow.

I missed it.

Wanted to go, but just couldn't get there.
