San Jose Super Toy, Comic and Collectibles Show Recap

This past weekend was the San Jose Super Toy, Comic & Collectibles Show. The weather was rainy but come rain or shine and it didn't stop people from coming to the show to look for toys and collectibles. The lines were long as usual and they got people moving in as fast as they could to get them out of the rain. Early Bird shoppers were able to get in 2 hours before the general admission shoppers. If you had pre-purchased tickets the line was very short and you got in very quick. The show is much bigger than what we took pics of so here's a little taste of what's at the show.
