I've now signed up the OBB CSL for the '80's Toy Expo on April 7th, 2019
<https://www.ontariocollectorscon.com/80s-toy-expo-2019-is-april-7th-in-mississauga-ontario/>
It's at the same hotel convention room as the last show--
6750 Mississauga Road, Mississauga, Ontario
I've also requested an additional 'display table' so others can display their
stuff. I've had a few people voice interest in bringing something for display.
I don't know how well this'll go over, but I'm going to try it and see what
happens :)
I'm also hoping that I'll have at least a bit of time to take some good pictures
and video of the layout this time--I didn't have any time last show for this.
Hope to see you there!

The Show Wrap-up Post!
It.
Was.
Awesome!!!
K, more details...
Kevin and Calum brought stuff--Calum had a few of his lego-built planes and
Kevin had a rollercoaster/theme park setup.
On that specific note, those who were there and watching Kevin set up his
amusement park were floored that the rides 'arrived' on lego trucks, and were
built as a real world travelling amusement park would be. Next time I'm going
to time lapse that setup--it was beautiful!
Calum's planes were a big hit as well--many people came and talked about the
detailing and stuff...
I am taking these shows to perfect my setup for the CSL. I'm almost there, but
I do get distracted when people come over and talk as I'm setting up. I think
the CSL can be set up in just over an hour, but it took me almost 2
Here's a vid of the space layout--

And a longer vid of just the setup--

Thanks to Kevin and Calum for attending and displaying--it was great being at
these types of shows with friends.
A reminder that my next show is on May 5th at the Ancaster Fair Grounds. It's a
1 day show and I'll be flying solo--I don't know the organizers as yet and want
to assess before I start asking others to come and display.

Calum forwarded me the link to the Mississauga news, win which they wrote an
article about the show--
<https://www.mississauga.com/community-story/9275451-80s-toy-expo-at-the-hilton-mississauga-meadowvale-hotel/>
The write-up is a bit brief, and I obviously didn't convey the name of our group
correctly - 'Ontario Classic Builders' - though that's kinda growing on me :)
But there are a few pics in the article--if you click the arrow to the left or
right of the picture, there's a few more pics of people checking out Kevin's
amusement park, and some pics of the CSL, as well as the special guests at hte
show.
All in all, it was a great show and I had a very good time hanging out with lego
friends for a few hours. It was just like old times...
