Edmonton's premier collectibles event returns to the Mayfield Inn for it's 5th anniversary show. To help us celebrate this special anniversay, as well as the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars and the 25th Anniversary of 3 3/4" GI Joe, we are pleased to annouce the following special guests!
Daniel Logan, who starred as Boba Fett in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, will be on hand in his first ever Canadian appearance!
The Legendary Larry Hama, the man who breathed life into each and every character with the filecards from Hasbro's 3 3/4" GI Joe line as well as his with his work on Marvel's GI Joe comic book series. Larry's legendary comic career spans decades and includes his work on many of the most influential books of our time including GI Joe, Wolverine, Batman, The 'Nam, and more!
Of course, the show would not be the premier collectibles event in Western Canada without our vast dealer area! Over 75 dealers from across Alberta will be present. There are over 100 vendor tables in TWO full banquet halls again this year and a wide variety of vintage and modern collectible toys as well as Silver, Bronze and Modern Age comics will be available for collectors. Our good friends from the 501st Badlands Garrison and the local FanForce chapter will also be present again this year to help add to the festivities.
Please remember to bring a donation to the Edmonton Food Bank to enter to win one of several great door prizes provided by our sponsors.

It was really nice to meet you yesterday John. Sorry if i seemed a little out of it - 3 hours of sleep and whole lot to do the day of the show tends to fry my brain a little more than normal. ;) We should try to get together sometime and have more of a visit, talk shop, etc.

No problem. I figured you could use a good stiff drink after the show. We will have to get together, possibly over a couple of beverages. My treat.
Pass on a thanks to all of the volunteers. Definitely a professional group. I enjoy seeing how excited my kids get about the show and seeing people in different Star Wars costumes.
