Dealers

Is there a list of dealers this year so far? I know Kool Toys is one, but I'm also hoping Automaton and GoldenAgeToys are, too. Also, do random people sell their TFs, too? Like not people who own online stores, but just regulars? I'd love to see what kind of deals I can muster up from everyone.

EDIT: DAMMIT! I forgot about the general question thread! Could somebody merge this, please?

Re: Dealers

The dealer room is actually made up more of private collectors than online stores.

Re: Dealers

Do the retailers generally offer and show specials, or is it usually the same prices as the online stores? Just curious.

Re: Dealers

Also, sometimes--not always, but sometimes--you can get deals during the last couple hours of the show.

Two years ago I got some Spychangers, on card, for $2 a set. That's a buck each. My niece and nephew had a great Christmas that year.

What I've noticed is that sometimes you can get deals. But that's the exception. The rule, from what I've seen, is that the prices are a bit higher than regular price. I guess that's to cover for expenses (travel, booth fees, etc)

Re: Dealers

Really? I always find loose/complete and MISB stuff there equal to or less then retail. Sure there's always a few dealers with items that have yet to be released here for slightly higher then retail but no more then $5 normally which is basically your tax if purchased in retail...

Re: Dealers

Seeing as people are posting in this thread, I guess it could continue? :O

Anyways, are American dealers coming here? Would you say that Wreck-Gar and Shockwave could possibly be there?
