This October show may be the last one until April 2021, since I’m not really interested in traveling in the winter. In fact, driving to Bloomington was a nervous effort, because the light snow was making the roads wet & slippery (saw a few car crashes).
Many of the tables at this show featured Star Wars, showing how popular the brand really is with collectors. Unfortunately, I don’t collect Star Wars, so it was a miss for me. There were also plenty of modern Transformers… which is also unfortunate, since I hate the new stuff. Plenty of Marvel Legends, but, again, I’m not looking for anything in this line in particular.
What I was looking for were G.I. Joe: Classified and maybe the new G.I. Joe Retro Collection, but they’re rarely seen in stores, let alone at a toy show. I guess I didn’t have high hopes that I would find any Cobra Island, but I was hoping to see at least one or two … even if it’s marked at a really high price. So, yeah, no Red Ninjas, no Beachhead, no Cobra Troopers...
There was a guy selling a Deluxe Snake Eyes figure, but he wanted $100 for it. The figure, long sold out, was originally sold for $40, so I couldn’t justify paying a Benjamin for it.
I usually spend hundreds of dollars at these shows, but this Sunday show I couldn’t find anything that I wanted, or that the toys that I really wanted were just priced too high.
