Info: www.fxshow.com

It's the largest Toy convention in the USA, and it's in Orlando, located at the Orange County Convention Center NEXT week! It's like the 10th annual show--We've been going since 1995, and it's awesome!

Guests this year are:

The Exorcist's: Linda Blair
Hellraiser's Pinhead: Doug Bradley,
Living Dead Dolls Creators: Ed Long and Damien Glonek
Also - INSANE CLOWN POSSE Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope

Many Comic artists too! This is a show people come around the WORLD for!!

I'll be wearing either a Ironworks Forum tag or shirt incase any of you are there! [img]smile.gif[/img]

They have rooms for roleplaying too--HUGE rooms for all kinds of gaming, but it's toys is why I go [img]smile.gif[/img] I buy Tomica cars (made in Japan--better than ANYTHING Matchbox or Hotwheels could do) [img]smile.gif[/img]

They have toys going back to 1900's.. wild stuff.. 1000's of tables! The area it's held in looks like it's big enough to hold a Borg cube! :D :D

If you are going, email me!

Can't go, don't live in the USA!

Damn! Some of the coolest stuff happens in the USA! It's bigger, so is more likely to have good Star Trek exhibitions!

Transformers are present I suspect, yes?

Americans get the coolest festivals :D

Especially those video game ones....I wish I could participate in a Streetfighter tournament...ah well.

Yeah. I'd love some sort of OFFICIAL BGII duel contest thingy. Like at the Trafford Centre, or somewhere in London. But it is more likely that stuff like that will be held in America, since Bioware is American Based.

Maybe next year, when I can drive. Or is there another one in August..? Makes me wish I had gotten my license at 16.. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oh man, yeah! [img]smile.gif[/img] Transformers, GIJOE--even the Japan versions that reproduce them, the ONLY difference is the box is in Japanese. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Even ONLY GIJOES--the BIG ones.. and Babies.. [img]smile.gif[/img] For my Wife.. she collects the rare ones.. --the 'Bobby Mackie' or whatever the hell... lol!

Nope, just once a year.. it sucks that it's January this year.. every OTHER year it's in March.. I hate when it's in January, cuz we're usually broke from Christmas! :D

I know what it's like to be broke from Christmas. The amount of money I spent on my Dad's present alone almost made be bankrupt!

[img]smile.gif[/img] I just like to go looking mainly.. I collect small cars--like Matchbox, but called 'Tomica' (Sold in the USA in the 80's as 'Pocket Cars'. Really nice detail, and doors and stuff open!
