I was wondering...wouldn't it be greatly beneficial to allow entry into the show for free (if it isn't already) Seems that allowing non-toy soldier hotel guests a look within would generate new customers long term and create additional sales during??? Limiting the show to just those who know about toy soldiers or those non-toy soldier folk willing to pay out of curiosity doesn't seem proper. The loss of income at the door would/could be recouped from vendors by the additional sales or potential future sales? Just a thought!

By the way the Helicopter by Figarti is awesome!!!

If you let people in for free, how is the show promoter going to make money?

He depends on the gate to make money; renting out basically all the hotel function rooms is not cheap, factoring in vendor table fees and the gate, he makes a decent profit out of the deal.

He doesn't make a dime on the room trading as that is free; as Brad said, hotel guests were wandering in and out of the rooms during the room trading aspect of the show.

Some of their questions were "interesting"; I'll leave it at that..................

The organizers, OTSN, need to recoup costs. At any rate, Hobby Bunker and Aero Art were located downstairs in one of the main rooms that you had to pass. I saw several non-toy soldier people looking at HB's offerings, which were varied.

you could also walk down manufacturer's row which was the main hallway for the hotel and was free. set up were collectors showcase, figarti, britains and king and country with all their dioramas

I have updated www.treefrogtreasures.com/otsn with some quick pics of the show. I didn't have much time...but did what I could.

We have Figarti, CS, Tedtoys, George's tables, & Hocker. Check it out.

Peter can't see the figarti or CS photos ^&cool
