Hobby Expo Chicago

Post by ketelone » Sat Oct 23, 2010 10:18 am

If anyone attends this show please share what you saw.
I have attended this show before but decided against attending this year. My local hobby shop rep told me approximately 98% of the show is RC stuff. He indicated there's very little in the way of models. Dragon apparently had a relatively small booth. FOV was present but he did not check it out. If anyone has any info or intel on future releases I'd love to hear about it. At least the antique toy show is tomorrow....

Are you sure your rep didn't mis-speak, perhaps he meant that FOV was going to be at the antique toy show...

No. I checked the Expo website and FOV was expected to appear. They're listed as a one of the attendees under their corporate name.

Sorry, I didn't mean to question your info, I was making an attempt at humor. Given the lack of anything really happening on the 1:32 front, and the fact that the glory days seem well behind us now, somehow the antique toyshow seems fitting for FOV...
