LOL! Tom Kinney has been receiving packages and cataloging items.
So, with Tom's help, a lot of models are already in Chicago as are most of the brochures and handouts.
That being said, most of what we've received has been preproduction samples and prototypes. The folks at Autocult, 43rd Avenue, GLM, Legacy, Esval and Minichamps have been great. Amanda at Brooklin has been her usual awesome self. Sergio is always a pleasure to deal with and an incredible asset to the hobby. Mikhail at B&G is sending stuff. We'll have some of JR's masterworks on hand and available. Dick's Christmas tree will be there (thanks, LISA!). I just heard from Jim Cowen who will be bringing some prototypes. Of course, Buz will be there.
We will have a larger booth this year. Frank Racibozynski and Jeff Lane will be nearby.
It's going to be a great show. The Forum 43 booth will have a lot of giveaways and a wide selection of 1 of 1's for sale.
In short, this year we'll have more makers represented but fewer models on hand for display and sale. We were a bit overwhelmed last year by the shear volume of models. This year, with the help of all our friends in the hobby, the booth will be even more interesting and far more diverse.
