Toy Shows ARGGG!

Canadian Turtle · 10-19-2008, 09:27 PM

Today will be the second time this year I have gone off to a toy show and spent the 10 freakin dollar door charge to get in and find NOTHING!!!!

Ok I got my hands on 2 of the Mutatin turtles for $5 each and a hand full of loose figs but thats IT!!!

Toy shows make a person like me very angry because there is NEVER any TMNT there. Not even new stuff. Almost every dealer says the same thing. Some BS about having boxes of them at home but not bringing them because no one buys them yet. They need to wait a few years... well if the demographic is not showing up at the shows why are the toys so damn expensive online and people are buying them there? Not to mention half the toys at the show are newer than TMNT!!!

Anyways that's my beef...

(I did find the mail-in clear Predator figure complete for $5 though!!)

I have never even been to a toy show.
So I would be happy to pay $10.00 to look around. I also collect more lines then TMNT.
What figures are you finding to be to expensive ?

Dude! there is this site... I think it is called toy shows in Ontario. Just google it. Sorry I only heard of it through a friend the day before.

Don't get me wrong I collect a million other toys and love checking the shows out. I'm just saying it sucks because the vendors say they have all this TMNT but no one buys it at shows so they don't bring it. I'm saying the stuff is fetching good money online.... why would it not sell at shows?
