THE TEXAS TOY SOLDIER SHOW & THE FUTURE

After careful thought and consideration King & Country and Kings X have decided not to continue with ‘The Texas Toy Soldier Show’ in 2019.

Recently, our host venue transitioned to new management, resulting in substantially higher costs for our event which have proved unsustainable.

To this end and in discussion with others in the hobby, we intend to seek out alternative locations elsewhere... both in and outside of Texas.

Our aim is to create a new show that would be held sometime in the first half of 2020.

We will bring collectors, dealers and manufacturers more details and information as we progress.

At this time we would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to ALL those who worked with us and took part in all of the previous Texas Shows.

With best wishes,

London is OK, like everyone I dislike the venue, but it is cheap for the organisers and they are the only people willing to organise it. so let those really complain who are willing to step in and organise it instead.

Well that is a real bummer. Andy there has to be a number of more cost effective venues in San Antonio to keep the show alive. I know it was convenient to have it next to your shop but after all the years of building attendance and vendors it sure seems like a waste to let it go. The only Toy soldier show in the South Central US and there it goes. What a waste.

RB,

Yeah, it is a bummer...especially after last years show...it was great!!! Really going to miss meeting up with the gang and enjoying the show. I would save up a couple of bucks every year just to spend at the show. But, I understand they have been having problems with the new management at the Hotel and it is a shame that they could not come to an agreement. I really looked forward to it every May and planned around it. It will be sorely missed.

I would tend to agree here. If things get too expensive at one place, Go somewhere else !
