I'm going nit pick, so be warned.. There was dealer selling built up model kits..
Umm... they were quite dusty.. if your going sell your built models soap and water won't hurt them under the faucet ...
And even little windex with water... It makes models more presentable to sell..

The same toy dealer one I spotted from last year it seems he comes every year with same over priced mego other toys in fair condition
It doesn't look like he ever sells .. Maybe have blowout sale and call it quits.. I have known alot toy dealers over years...
He's like dealers I use to see at big show we have in california.. bring the same stuff price at price guide.
And hope nostalgia well sell it.

The guy who created that is so humble - makes everything sound simple & easy when the combination of skills is something else! . . . much like our dear departed friend Ian Lawrence (ILModels) & Steve J (trekkriffic).

. . . and since I'm the 1st to respond about it - I'll make the obvious cringe comment . . . "Impressive, most impressive!" :)

That was cool too - thanks for sharing.

Along with the Falcon, the X-Wing has always been my fave ship from the franchise.

I learned a lot from this - including that my "Captain Cardboard" kit that I still have boxed up (bought 2006 from the man himself) is not as ultra-accurate as was claimed. Still looks fine to me though :)

I was wondering what that spider thingy was and was finally able to do some research once I saw the "B'omarr monk" nameplate. Very neat.

Yeah, I wondered about that as well. I just thought it looked cool.
Even cooler knowing now that the brain is a scan of the builder's actual brain.

The thing is, I don't know if the show can handle more people in the current space.
Things were pretty jammed on Saturday.
Parking was also at a premium.

Hopefully construction work will be done next year. Parking was always a problem in the past if you left for a while but this year was beyond crazy!!!!
