List of Manufacturers and Retailers at Westcoaster? (1 Viewer)

[HistoryfortheAges]

Can we get a list of manufacturers and retailers that are confirmed to be attending the Westcoaster? Also, who will be room trading and who will only be at the show itself? I think this information would be helpful for those attending or for those contemplating on attending. Thank you!

Can we get a list of manufacturers and retailers that are confirmed to be attending the Westcoaster? Also, who will be room trading and who will only be at the show itself? I think this information would be helpful for those attending or for those contemplating on attending. Thank you!

Typically these manufacturers attend:

- Figarti
- Build-A-Rama
- Britians
- King and Country
- Toy Soldiers of San Diego (TSSD)
- Old Northwest Trading Company (ONTC)
- Frontline
- Collectors Showcase
- Hobby Bunker (with there diorama products and more)

It's a great experience and don't forget the room trading at the Marriott Hotel (Irvine, CA) that usually begins slowly by Thursday evening and hit's full stride by Friday.

Also, Figarti and King and Country have special events for collectors prior to the Sunday Show. This provides the opportunity to view up coming releases and a forum for Q&A, which promoting greater bond between the company and collectors as the Chicago OSTN Show did.

Outside of the Chicago Show, do you know any other show that's packed like this in America?

I can't wait!

In addition to the vendors listed by Carlos (however, ONTC was not there), the following vendors were at last year's West Coaster with room trading:

-Paul Hermann of Toy Soldier Shoppe with Little Legion and other smaller manufacturers
-The Halls of Sierra Toy Soldier with K&C and other stuff
-Pam Brunton of Brunton's Barracks with a bit of everything
-Ted Deddens of Ted Toy with his own line and Monarch Toy Soldiers
-Steven Dietz of J.S. Dietz Toy Soldiers with his own line
-Thor Johnson of Aeroart
-Roy Easton of Easton Military Miniatures (usally has some retired K&C)
-Ed Fangonlio of Edmund's Traditional Toy Soldiers with his own line
-Craig McClain and Woody of Old Toy Soldier Home (the host of the West Coaster) with the largest selection of K&C
-Bob O'Connell of Northcoast Miniatures
-Bill Hocker of Wm Hocker Toy Soldiers

There are other dealers but I am not sure if they attend every year.

Unlike the Chicago Show where there are over 150 vendors doing room trading, the West Coast is smaller with room trading on two floors of the hotel with about 40 rooms selling toy soldiers. The actual West Coaster show on Sunday has much more vendors with close to 100 vendors.
