my wife and her friend went to this show 2 two years ago to meet terry moore(strangers in paridise comics). she said it was a great show, with alot of dealers in comics and what nots.i had to work so i missed out on it. she took some pics of troopers (stormtroopers that is)and the overall layout of the show. i'd like to go this year but money is tight so i'll have to try another show later in this years coming. good luck to you if you go and happy hunting.

Sounds fun, but its almost a 4 hour drive there. I wouldnt want to go alone, and I know no one that would be willing to go with me. I'll just stick with the Wilmington show coming up.

What Wilmington show would that be. A friend of mine and I are looking for any toy shows in the area.

Bennyhaha,

I went to the one back in December and spent more money than I planned to. Some items were priced high, but I found some good deals.

There are a good many Star Wars fans there. I hear PA Star Wars collecters club gathers at John Harvards on Saturday, but I don't know the details on that. Perhaps another rebelscummer can give you some more info?

Here are some pics I took. (I originally posted them while discussing the Pgh Comicon, but I think they have a better home here.)

Door Security

The PA SW Club Booth next the display of the robot from 'Lost in Space'.

Star Wars for Sale:

Cool Jedi vendor that was nice enough to let me take his picture.

and my favorite non-Star Wars toy: Bionic BigFoot!

PITTSBURGH TOY SHOW is going on again this weekend. Check out the new site at steelcitycon.com for all the details and directions. Come and see guests like David Faustino "Bud Bundy" and wrestlers Kurt Angle, Superfly Jimmy Snuka, and others. Tonight was set up night and it looks to be a great show. Lots of SW stuff makes it worth the drive.

JEREMY BULLOCH has been confirmed as the special guest for the next show here in late july.

I'll be there this time. I had some friends go the last con and said it was a good time. Hope to run into some fellow scummers. Speaking of... does anyone know what happened to those badges that were being sold? I never received mine.
