Shoutout the the staff at 80's toy expo

As im sure most know now sadly the dealer room was what looks to be miss booked and the expo had to be broken up into two parts.. as im sure all will agree it was cramed what i Will say is how well things where run and a great shout out to the staff of the show ... coming from a guy in a wheel chair it was a huge challenge but in the end of the day the staff took the cards that was dealt and the staff pulled off a good show.. I also what to thank all the venders for what im sure was nuts busy and cramped but again you took in stride's and pull of a great show in all My family and most fans where very happy and i just want to say thanks for a great time today

Yep, they did a great job under the circumstances!

I really hope the hotel offers something to them to make it up.

Those rooms beside the Starbucks were pretty nice actually. Would be neat to use them to expand TF con someday.

Ya it was a little elbow to elbow but I still managed to have a good time @ the show. Found some great goodies at decent prices. Thanx to the staff & dealers who graciously took good care of all of us.

Re: Shoutout the the staff at 80's toy expo

I seen a Street fighter 2 Cosplayer as well as Batman. I seen a couple other ones to but did not recognize the characters so I could not comment I also saw a couple little ones in outfits but I was there from 11 am - 2 pm so maybe these people left quickly as at one point it was pretty crowded in either room from what I saw and was told from a few vendors and attendees that I spoke with.

Re: Shoutout the the staff at 80's toy expo

The staff is always great- these folks put on fantastic shows and I always have a lot of fun attending them.

One thing I'd like to suggest for future shows is having the guests be stationed where they were today. Not only did it look classy but it was never cramped and crowded like it gets in the usual autograph spot.
