From all the dioramas at the show, and there were some good ones. The Britains 88 pictured above I thought was the best.

Thanks Mike for the great photography coverage of the show. Too many others must have been buying too much to snap pic's..
Not seeing it in person I'm hoping the Britain's 88 will be as good as most have reported. Sounds like it was another great show. Did George G get the Brink's armored car loaded for the trip back to Boston?

Mike, you did a terrific job clicking the show! I also enjoyed a lot the pictures of the celebrities you posted in the other thread! It is the closest thing from being there, and it allows us to have a feeling of how fun it was! Thanks for sharing it all with us! My first show was last year and I really am upset for not being able to return this year. Hope to make it there next year and being able to meet you in case you`ll also go.

Mike and everyone else who took pics thank you very much.Sometimes I get a little bored or feel things are a little stale then these shows come up and with pics of all the wonderful items reinvigorate me.The dealers and manufacturers should really thank the picture takers as probably their sales go up after one of these shows.

The Dinner Speaker this year was Matt Pavone from First Legion and it was a First Legion DAK Tank Crew figure this year. I do not have a photo readily available at the moment . . . I need a few more days (or weeks!) to get re-organized and sorted out!

I asked Andy about the girl with the bread basket, and it's a future release in the Pike & Musket line.
It was my understanding that other civilians might follow.
Cheers!

I hope Mike doesn't mind if I add to this thread. The following figure, which represents Juan II of Spain, was purchased from Medallion Miniatures. Medallion always has exquisite figures. However, they do not permit photos of the figures in their room. There was a fantastic Hungarian figure of a death's head battalion that I was contemplating but by the time I made up my mind, someone had purchased it. There was also a beautiful Mughal warrior but I settled on this figure as I lived in Spain.

Brad,
Is that the company owned by Judy and Glenn from Florida? They are super nice people, she's an attorney, he's a dentist, they are a lot of fun, I used to be across the aisle from them downstairs on Sunday until I got moved to that prime real estate spot I now occupy.
One year, they wanted to borrow my "Please do not touch" signs as they stuff was getting manhandled................

Nothing makes we want to pick up a figure more than your 'do not touch' signs
You think that's bad. George won't let you pick it up even after you've purchased it {sm3}
