ToyMan Toy Show

[GI Defender]

Attended the ToyMan show in St Louis today. Or should I say I went to the Funko Pop garage sale? (I referred to them as this generation's Beanie Babies)

Saw a couple of Classic Collection Joes and one AT figure. The AT guy was in a box of accessories that were all bagged up and priced out. I snagged an unbroken Hasbro Japan e-tool and a nice pair of tall browns for $15. Also found the stencils for the Gi Joe Electric Drawing Table for $3. He had $75 on the AT guy. It was tempting but I passed. The rest of the accessories were all pretty common stuff but there were a few parts that were dipped in gold. (If you know what I mean)



Saw some cool Billy Blastoff stuff I had not seen in years and also drooled over some red lines. But in the end, all I got was those three Joe items and a sealed Aurora Viking Ship model, and a Monogram Phantom of the Opera model. It was a fun morning, but now I am looking forward to the Kentucky show even more,

Billy Blastoff? Now there's a blast from the past!
I had one of those. There was a cool spaceship go-kart thing you'd clip Billy into, and the PTO under his pack would fit onto a shaft sticking up from the sled, and Billy's backpack would power the sled.
Fun toy. Not designed for outside play, though, so poor Billy didn't last very long.

Yup, the guy had a few, all complete sans the visor on his helmet. I showed them to Char and since I have a bunch of Matt Mason stuff she went into Mom Mode. "Do you really need more space toys?" LOL

Ah... I was there at the show as well, not selling, just walking around. The guy with the Billy Blastoff stuff had quite a lot of neat Japan stuff, always seems to. I've had most of those in the past, but it was neat seeing them again.

I ended up not buying anything, but my boys picked up a few things.

Danny next time give me a heads up, we could do lunch or something.
