Trevin and I attended the 2009 Chicago Toy Soldier Show in Schaumburg, IL on September 27, 2009. What can I say we loved it. Tons of dealers, lot's of great history and toy army conversations, and tons of toy army soldiers. The show started at 10:00am. When we got there at 9:50am, the line to get in was already about 100 people deep. The cost was only $7 and after we paid admission, we were immediately given some goodies- bag for shopping and a valuable toy army. We haven't even stepped in and we've already paid the price of admission.
We did notice a few things. The German Army from World War 2 seems to be the most popular selling items followed by World War armys from other countries like the USA and Britain. There were also no Lego soldiers sold. This gave us a great idea, that maybe next year we can have BrickBattleField sell at the Chicago Toy Soldier Show. We'll see what happens.
