The trip out to C2E2 was a lot of fun, and it was great to spend some time meeting up with friends, both old and new. The combination of going to C2E2 and then attending the Chicago Toy Show in Kane County made for a wicked double header of plastic insanity! In all my years of collecting and checking out shows, I've never seen anything quite like the Chicago Toy Show. If you ever get the chance to go, do not hesitate.

Above are a few of the spoils from the breakneck table exploration. Make sure to check out Phil Reed's great Battlegrip post about the classic LJN Official AD&D toy line for multiple resources on one of the best series from the early 1980's!

Enormous thanks once again to all of the Chicago crew for their true hospitality, it really made the short time in the Windy City something to remember.

This Saturday I will be checking out C2E2 in Chicago, spending some time at the Nerd City booth (#760) and hopefully getting to meet some of you guys in person. I've been out to Chicago a few times over the years, but never to C2E2.

Huge thanks go out to Ben Spencer and the Nerd City crew for letting us use their table as a home base at the show, and to Marty "Stuffed Crust" Hansen for pushing me to leave my cave and visit the Deep Dish capitol of the world again.

I'll have a small assortment of figures available at the Nerd City booth from our upcoming small May release, which is tentatively scheduled for May 4th at 9:30PM EDT.

See you soon, Chicago!
