The show was Awesome! Lots of new and old toys. There were lots of great deals to be had. There were also door prizes if you wanted to enter the raffle for that upon entering. There were a lot of Star Wars, transformers, diecast cars, Rat Fink, Designer Toys, Funko Pop!, TMNT and so much more. There were bins of loose figures that you could dig through. If you are looking for older toys then you really need to check out this show.
