Post Kane County Toy Show
Any Chicagoland people go to the Kane County shows? I used to make the drive down once or twice a year for them. Are there still any dealers selling vinyl at them? There always used to be a few of them. I've picked up a couple cool things in the past and I'm thinking of driving down for one of the shows this year. Is it worth the effort anymore?

too much over priced stuff from ToysRUs, and WAY OVER PRICED Star Wars stuff.

if that's your thing, cool. I'd stay home.

Last summer my kid picked up a decent 1st version Dragun shogun warrior for $20 at the Kane Co. flea market. It would have probably sold for $40 at the toy show.
