Carlos, thanks for the great pics. BTW, I need your help. I'd like to purchase those KC Vietnam soldiers, I saw in your photos. It was grouped with 1/6 soldiers in background. Would you know the vendor's name and contact info. Thanks.

Carlos (as usual) has done a phenomenal job of capturing this show and all it has to offer. His photos are a true reflection of what this show has become.

I highly recommend attending this show, not just for the toy soldiers, but for the historical significance, the general ambiance of Texas and the camaraderie.

Hi Jason, with over 11 threads started on the 2016 Texas show itself I guess I was hoping to hear more about the show itself?? Carlos did take some great photos and I'm very appreciative of that but again I was hoping to hear of any new releases there?? was there the usual dinner/speakers etc. where's our reporters of Mike Miller and "John from Texas" ??...Sammy

Thank you all for your kind words. It's always been my pleasure to capture (in photo) the spirit of every show I attend. I always appreciate when others take pictures of shows I don't attend and post them. Especially the guys from London! Many thanks guys.

I know there were plenty of manufactures owners present at the show (e.g. KC, W.Britians, Black Hawk, Collector Showcase, Del Prado and more). It was great seeing everyone again and especially good to see Richard Walker (Del Prado owner).

I know there was talk about future release as always. However, I wasn't present in those conversations. I'm not being coy and I'm not avoiding betraying any confidences. There wasn't a dinner this year for the first time due hotel ownership change. Next year KC promises there will be. I believe them

What I did hear a lot among dealers and collectors was the state of the hobby.

I hope that helps. Maybe someone else could share more with all of us.

What was clear to me is that Texas Show is getting better and better each year. Andy seems sincere about making it better by appealing to a global crowd and trumpeting San Antonio, TX as a great vacation trip. I think he has something there.

I live in San Antonio, TX and it's a boom town and growing rapidly. I bet most of you didn't know that San Antonio is the 7th largest city in the United States and it's the #1 tourist destination in Texas.

Apologies, I should have paid more attention. I don't have a lead for you.
