Probably not, as it's only an interest to us locals. The R&R event never got it's own thread. We just chatted about it here

In 2008 we got snow until April I recall.

And woohoo page 1000

Woohoo! 1000 pages of us talking nonsense. Thanks, Kirbenvost, for starting this thing.

But yeah I was in Toronto in 2008, but I know I missed a pretty nasty winter.

Driving up Burnaby Mountain this Tuesday, we'll see how it goes...

EDIT -- Ahahah, I first posted on page 18 about how my collection is basically done. God how wrong I was.

[kirbenvost]

Almost done... haha that's gold. 1000 pages is pretty epic, I'm sure we'll reach 1000 more. Longest-lived thread I've ever started, that's for sure.

I also can't believe it's snowing in March, but I don't think it'll stick around long this time.

I'm hoping it won't be as bad as December and early January were. Those were insane.

So excited for MP Megatron releasing in little over a month. MP-10 will finally have his rival to square off against on my desk.

Fair enough - well, hope people come out and support. I talked to at least 12 dealer friends of mine who all booked. Should be lots of Transformers this day - all lines including G1, Beast Wars, movie, 3rd party, CHUG, masterpiece.

Lots of GI Joe as well, some star wars, heman, tmnt, ghostbusters, superhero toys.

When i spoke to the organizer about the idea, he liked it enough that he updated the facebook event graphic to a picture of optimus prime, lol.

If there is enough interest on this board, i can post the FB link on behalf of the guy running the event.

UPDATE: Saturday March 25 to be specific

A bunch of us who vended at Retro and Relevant are trying to organize the Pop Culture show into a toy and collectibles show. Theres about close to 20 tables so far of just toys and collectibles between us all. Going to have a ton of Transformers, GI Joes, Master of the Universe, and much more toys. If you miss RnR, check out Pop Culture show at the Scottish Center on March 25! If enough people show up for attendees, I'm sure the show will grow with even more vendors with awesome toys and collectibles! Admission is only $3!

I got two tables myself for the show. I'm trying to clear out half my collection, and will be bringing alot of CHUG figures MISB/MOSC for around retail price to clear out, plus other toy lines and statues.

HLJ is having a Spring Sale if you're still looking for Hellwarp or some TED figures

For this Pop Culture Show on Mar.25, I was able to find out who some of the dealers are and what type of products they will be bringing.

So far it is looking very promising for buyers, as there is a huge spike of Transformers dealers at this show carrying anything from G1 to CHUG to Masterpiece / 3rd Party. There is a huge possibility that there are more Transformers for sale this time than most Metrocon and almost as much as Retro and Relevant shows, for those who enjoyed those two shows in the past.

I would be going to check it out.

Pandaprime's link seems to not be working.
So here is the details again for those interested:

Date & Time: March 25 , 11:00am - 4:00pm.
Address: 8886 Hudson St Vancouver BC V6P 4M9.

Nice, just got my refund credit from TRU for the price adjustment on Wave 3 deluxes. $26.97 to put towards MP Megatron. I'm ready!
