For purchases - at least one set of Steve Weston's new British WW2 troops in plastic, perhaps a new FoV CCKW truck (the new open version), some TSSD spare figures for conversions, same for some loose Conte plastics. I don't have any definite K&C in mind, but I'll probably get some GIs and maybe a German or two.
I want to see the Collectors' Showcase M4A3E8. Then I will decide about getting one.
I am looking forward to talking to Rick from Figarti, Andy and Gordon from K&C, Nick and Deanna from TSSD, RC from Conte, and all the others.
Matt from Hobby Bunker usually has several items that will get me to open my wallet (again).
There are a few accessories that I wouldn't mind finding for my MPC ringhands collection - that's going to taking hunting in the rooms and cruising the tables on Sunday.
A big enjoyment is also that I have met several of the TF forum members and I hope to renew acquaintances again and maybe meet some new ones.
So between the show, the obligatory visit just north to the IKEA store and getting a couple days to "do Chicago stuff" with my wife, I am really getting pumped!
