This year we're moving into our exciting new venue, the Shaw Conference Center (http://http://www.shawconferencecenter.com) - Hall C - where we will have over 23,000 square feet of exhibit space which will be full of the finest collectible toys and comics vendors in Western Canada have to offer.
In addition to the quality collectibles attendees have come to expect from the show, we are also very excited about our Special Guests. This year Ernie Hudson, perhaps best known for his role as Winston Zeddmore in both Ghostbusters movies, and Bonnie Piesse who played the young Aunt Beru in both Star Wars Episode II and Episode III, will be joining us to interact with fans and sign autographs over the course of the day.
Our show sponsor and good friends at Happy Harbor Comics (www.happyharborcomics.com (http://www.happyharborcomics.com)) will also be bringing some of the best local, home-grown comic talent to the show with the return of their ever popular Independent Artists Alley.
Please visit our website at www.edtoyshow.com (http://http://www.edtoyshow.com) for all of the information on additional guests and programming and be sure to check back often to keep up with our latest news. If you can, please take a moment to fill out our email survey to help provide you with the best possible show experience.
I hope to see you all at this year's show, and please feel free to tell any friends, family members, colleagues or acquaintances you think might be interested. We also request that you bring along a donation to the Edmonton Food Bank and in return, you'll be eligible to enter to win any one of our fabulous door prize packages.

I'll make you a deal Shane. If you don't have yours the same weekend as mine next year - I'll attend... but you'll have to attend the Joe Meet as well!

This should be a good one tho! Brand new, HUGE venue and some pretty cool guests. I know at least 3 Joe dealers will be there too.

I'd love to get out there one of these years Mike, no doubt! Bad timing on both our parts this year, i suppose.

Just Three!?
I have two halls filled with them this year! ;-)
Also in a bigger/better location. Glad to see both of our events get better with age!

Considering the amount of action the Alberta section of this forum gets, i'd say three dealers is pretty good. ;)

You have a gun?
I kid.

Naw the gun toting rednecks have their own gun show. I heard about it at work. I think they were a little disturbed by the guys dressed as Klingons though.

This year was kind of commando strike style for me with no dawdling as I had uncertain road conditions for the drive home.
I caught your Friday morning Global appearance. Pretty good segment.
