If the one I attended on Sat. is any indication of the economy, things could be looking up. Went to one in April & the place was maybe 1/2 to 3/4 full compared to last year. I missed the one in July but on Sat that place was packed - with both vendors & people looking/buying.
Yes, attending toy fair and shows are really an interesting events. I use to attend more Godzilla toy fairs and shows because I like Godzilla toys so much.
