Hi Thunderbird 2, thank you for making the show 'officially' on! Look forward to the show and will check in on the 27th. Hilton Garden Inn YYZ looks like a brand new hotel! Cheers! T7

Looking forward to another fun show, some great diecast door prizes and a chance for everyone to meet up again!

Just out of curiosity, what is the approximate attendance for the YYZ shows and how many vendor tables are there? I'm just wondering how big YYZ is compared to some of the other shows.

Looking forward to seeing everyone after a long absence!! As some of you know, a fellow Aeroflot Alumni and I started a sim company. With that being said, come visit!!

Who's running this show? I sent an e-mail several days ago regarding possibly attending as a vendor, and I have yet to hear anything.

Hi there, Thunderbird 2 is running the show. You can also trying sending an email to:

keywesttrading@sympatico.ca

Cheers! T7

asj410 · 10-20-2012, 12:20 AM

Thanks! I'll drop an e-mail to him.

asj410 · 10-23-2012, 03:10 PM

Hmm...I guess the show organizer(s) don't care much about adding any more vendors. E-mail sent to two different addresses, and nada. Hope that doesn't say anything about how the actual show is run.

Let me help you out. Can you send me a PM with your email address, and I will have him contact you about the show or you can use me as the liason.

Cheers! T7

Thanks for the help! I actually needed to know this past weekend though if I could make the show, so I won't be able to make this one. As I understand it, these shows are in the spring AND the fall? If so, perhaps I can make the spring one. Thanks again, though!

T7_4ever · 10-25-2012, 09:34 PM

This should be an interesting show with the new venue; I am so glad it's no longer at the old drab Holiday Inn (was a pain in the butt to haul the models up the stairs to get to the conference room). Hilton Garden Inn YYZ is only 3 years old and has a fine looking ballroom where the show is being held. I am sorry to hear that you can't make it to the show this sunday. Yes, there might be another one in the spring (Thunderbird 2 is the organizer). Cheers! T7 ( I'll try to take some pics from the show )

Have fun everyone,I wish I could attend. Let me know if you see a Hogan Air Tahiti Nui A340 in 200 scale.

T7_4ever · 10-28-2012, 12:02 AM

Gearing up for the show in 9 hours (already checked into the Hilton Garden Inn YYZ suite, may take pics of the suite stacked floor to ceiling with models and rubbermaid bins, hee hee). Please come by and check out all the models I have for sale. Have some Life-Savers treats while you view the commerical and military models, or while you browse thru some books and postcards. Cheers! T7 (by the way, look for the dude with the blue Boeing 777 t-shirt and white walking shorts!)

spiderman · 10-28-2012, 01:19 AM

sorry, but changed my mind. not feeling the urge to come n see the show. so scanty info couldnt tempt me to take the *** out of the door (not knowing how many vendors/usual price (cheaper than retailers? saves the S&H?/ rare models? etc).

1:200Freak · 10-28-2012, 07:04 PM

So how was the show?

Mr. T7,
So sorry I couldn't make the show yesterday. I had to deal with a family issue on Saturday evening which carried over to Sunday morning. All is well now, though. (Ill wife).

Pity, as I was looking forward to meeting you, and hopefully Mr. Beltloader and perhaps 1:200 Freak. Hopefully there will be some sort of another event throughout the year where this can be achieved.

Anyhow, I hope you had a great time, and I suspect I missed a very good show.

Model airplanes really aren't that important. As long as your wife is OK.

You are correct. Compared to my wife, model airplanes don't even exist. Regardless, all is well now, just unfortunate timing all around, I'm afraid.

Thanx for that.

T7_4ever hard at work

T7_4ever · 10-30-2012, 07:19 PM

Hey, that esteemed collector was very happy when he purchased the 1:18 scale P40 WarHawk, made by Motorworks! It well fit in nicely with his 1:18 collection of WW2 warbirds. Cheers! T7

T7_4ever · 11-02-2012, 09:07 PM

Correction: That model was a P47-D ThunderBolt Razorback, not the P40. My apologies, T7
