Well, I'm just about to head out to this event. I think it'll be about a 40 min drive or so. When I get back, I'll post pics and maybe a vid on my YouTube.

Just got back about 30 mins or so ago and I just uploaded a video to my YouTube with the stuff I got signed. First off, Tugboat was VERY nice. He genually seemed happy to be there, which I like because if you've ever met a wrestler who seems like they don't want to be there and just want to leave, it can be an unpleasant experience.
But yeah, there wasn't a line or anything really. He was sitting at his table with his assorted pictures and stuff, so I went right up to him and got my stuff signed and got a picture with him and he let me wear his classic trademark sailor hat, which I thought was both silly and hilarious, but what the hell, why not?? Lol..
I also talked to Andrew Goodwin who is in charge of bringing in the talent and he said on May 9th at Dr. Flea's Flea Market The Warlord & Barbarian, The Powers of Pain will be appearing!! So stay tuned for that one!!
Overall, it was really cool meeting Tugboat. Definitely one of the nicer wrestlers I've met over the years.
Here's the clip I just uploaded to my YouTube account. Enjoy!!

^So you were the one that picked up that Hogan... lol. When I first entered the Expo, I met Typhoon. He overall really nice like Mr. Old School mentioned above. Typhhon was tall and huge! lol I wanted to take a picture of him signing my Encyclopedia, but the short guy with glasses thats always at these signings told me I wasnt allowed to. Although, i did take a couple of pics of Typhoon from a far. lol. I picked up a few looses figures from the guy that had that Hogan: Undertaker (Biker attire), The Rock, Jeff Hardy, Bret Hart. All of them were from the BCA and TTL Lines. Also picked up a MOC Hasbro of Akeem for $10. it has a huge crease, but i thought it was okay. The guy that sold it to me actually bought it from Value Village (thrift store) for $3! He made a profit off of me, but that's okay. Lastly, there was a guy who had his Classic Superstars collection for sale. I picked up the 1 of 3000 Black and While Billy Graham figure for $15. The guy threw in the Rock Classic Superstars LJN Style for free. OH, and Bret Hart will be at the Niagara Falls Con. Demolition and Angelina Love will be at the Burlington Toy Show. I will post pics of my figures on the WFT: Jakks board and the WFT: Other Brands board Here's my video:

^ Yeah, I grabbed those ads as well. I thought the toy show itself was VERY small. Definitely the smallest I've been to. I'm just used to the big ones that are held at The International Center, that's all. I'm not sure if they still hold them there or not, but years ago they did and they were great.
One year at that Toy Show, I remember getting a MOC WWF LJN Miss Elizabeth for $15!! I knew that was a steal then and I still have it to this day and it's stayin' in my collection.
