TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3244: This past Saturday my youngest son and I attended the 2nd monthly Collector Con in Oceanside, California. I blogged about the 1st monthly show last month, as seen here in this link. This blog post is about my thoughts of the show, and some of those vendors I met there. This show is still working the kinks out as any new startup would be. It is a venue that is really needed in the North County San Diego County area... The following are just a few of those that I met at this show that I want to share with you:
They were Rich & Karen Clayton as seen in the photo to the left. (L-R) A customer, Rich, Karen, Michael. They currently don't have a web site that they sell from, but if you are attending the October Long Beach Comic Con, you can see them there.
TSG Entertainment has a Facebook Fan Page at Thou Shalt Game Entertainment. The store is physically located in Temecula, California.
To the left is Jesse Lopez, of TSG. Each time we walked by the tent, it was full of players!
She had several boxes of Disney Comics, and other cartoon comics. These had been the collection of her deceased brother, Robert Carbine, who was a well known collector. She currently doesn't sell these online, but send me your want list and email address, and I'll forward her your info should she have what you are looking for.
This was another local store that set up at this show. Their store is in San Marcos. Here is their Facebook Fan Page.
To the left are Paul Luna and Rick Westbrock, of the Fanatical Gamers Society. Here is the web site for that Society: FGSNC.com.
Their web site is WindowShopShop.com, which you can check out.
I see Heather and Raven White at many of the conventions I attend. They definitely have many DVDs that YOU should check out when you see them at a convention near you! They have rare & OOP movies, TV series & More on DVD. Matter of fact, if all goes as planned for the next Collector Con in October, they will be having a super event in the evening. When it is confirmed, I'll be blogging about it here, and mentioning at my own Facebook Group Page at Facebook Comic Con | Make It So Marketing. I've run out of space and time to include more in today's blog post. I'll be blogging about the October event when it is confirmed and the posters are printed. So I would suggest that if your are near the North County San Diego area, to check this 'Collector Con' out on October 23rd when it is running again. Keep your calendar open for that until all is confirmed... --------------------- BTW, here's my son's Vinnie 'Take' on just two of the booths that we visited and that he had special interest in:
---------------------------------- Again, the next 'Collector Con' is scheduled to be on October 23rd of 2010. You can keep up to date with this show at their Facebook Fan Page. My thanks to Gino Carpinelli this month, and to Fabiano Carpinelli for the information about the show when I first arrived last month. Plus my thanks to Deanna Carpinelli who was also informative near the end of the first show for me!AND My Thanks again to all of YOU reading this blog and our archived blog posts, now totalling over 3,240 posts in number! ~ Michael D Hamersky @ ComicBookCollectorsBlog.com
