In general it's a pretty good mix Theta... I usually get good deals on loose stuff, army builders, random junk that I want. There's lots of vintage at it usually which of course is pricey. Usually a healthy mix of carded and loose there too.
Lots of carded modern at the show but the prices are usually disturbing. Loose stuff is usually much more acceptable price-wise.
Let me know if you're coming into town for the show Theta. I didn't realize you lived that close by. I'm guessing you're in Ohio somewhere then.
I'll not be at the show Saturdays for the foreseable future, but instead I'll be hitting it on Sunday.
The show is always great though. This will only be its second time at the new venue though, so it's still going through some growing pains, but was still busy back in October. I imagine it'll be busy this April too.
Anyway, you can always find something good at the show... The "latest" stuff usually has a pretty outrageous pricetag on it, but older stuff is often pretty easy to obtain at a fair price. I have a rule of never paying more than its original retail cost, and I've stuck to that since I started collecting, but yet I've always spent a lot at the TOy Show, so I manage to always get a LOT of great deals.
I'm very glad for your information Jesse!
My wife liked the plan for us to stay in a hotel room for 2 days, perhaps arriving saturday, that would give us a chance to meet each other
And indeed, I'm an Ohioan just in front of Lake Erie to give you a hint
.
I'm sad to heard of how expensive one can find the newest stuff, but of course, it was to be expected,& I will follow your rule ( not buying at scalping price).
I hope this is the way or secret if I'm not mistaking of getting a richer SW collection for a fair price of course not in one day...
PS: I always wonder, how a big collector like
Darth Soundwave got his huge Clone collection, he woulnd't reveal where he got them from, but he stated that he got each figures at $2.50 each, and I know that few local stores in the same area wouldn't ever have that amount of each clones that he has... so there must be a
Star Wars Black Market somewhere
, cuz he said as well that he is not "rich" but indeed has one of the richest collection ever seen....So my question is: Where Tha F*** he got it from?
Contact you soon Jess if this goes on for real!
, just looking for a good time with fans & family & not just up to my foolish dream , but at least I expect to find the clone variants that I dont have & other characters of interest.
