Edmonton Collectible Toy and Comic Show 2008
« on: March 16, 2008, 10:51:15 PM »

I'm pleased to announce that the Edmonton Collectible Toy and Comic Show is returning again on April 20th, 2008 and will be bigger and better than ever 

This year we're moving into our exciting new venue, the Shaw Conference Center - 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) 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 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.

Meh?... if you can't make it to the Joe Meet, then this is the next best thing.  :wink:  :lol:

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!

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

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.

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. ;)

And all you easterners think us westerners are gun-toting rednecks! With the difference in popularity of Joe i'm gonna say those tables are turning!

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.

I didn't see your post in time.  I missed it.  I somehow missed that the Spring Pop Culture Fair was on this past weekend.  Any Joes?

Nothing too exciting. James, who has a lot of stuff was there but he'll be at my show too. Someone did pick up a trailer for the MSV for $20 tho, which is a pretty good score.
