As far as the show itself; all the doom and gloom, the sky is falling, the hobby is dying, worlds are colliding from last years show was not present this year, it was an excellent show IMO.

Room traffic was up, I stayed open later, the halls seemed crowded, I had little to no downtime, there was a steady stream of collectors coming and going from my rooms.

The day of the show itself was excellent, crowd was way up, I was busy right up until the end of the show.

I had a great time, was happy to see a lot of familiar faces as well as a lot of new ones, glad to see Carlos, Chris and others coming to the show for the first time, always nice to see new attendees.

I appreciate every dollar spent by all of you at the show, cannot thank you enough for the support, it means a great deal to me, hope to see all of you and more new faces again next year.....................now it's on to the Woburn MA show held here on October 19th.......................

Wayne,
That's a streetfront façade scene a company called Classic Toy Soldiers made for one of their playsets, I bought one and custom painted it, you can see a better view of it in the show tables pictures, it's 150.00 US......................

Great to see you again as well Jason; the shows are a two way street, so thank you for coming out and spending your money with myself and the other dealers, if collectors like you don't come out to the shows, we don't sell anything.

Will see you next year.................
 
George, Looks like you had some serious displays in both your rooms and during the show. A lot of set up / tear down time but they all quite easy on the eyes ! :salute::

Thanks Wayne; the set up time breaking it down in the rooms and on the day of the show was a lot shorter than the set up times if you catch my drift.............sorry you couldn't make it, Friday was a mess at the hotel with all the cancelled flights...............

Isn't that always the way it is, George? Public opinion at a show never seems to match the reality.

Thanks for posting the pictures, and see you in a couple of weeks in Hackensack!

Prost!
