OK boys and girls of all ages; it is on! This will be the final entry to the show news page.
There will be STAR WARS, ANIME and SCI FI oriented product at the show. This will
include a large selection of older "collectible" items.
There may be some AIR SOFT products!
We will have a large spread of vintage one sixth GI Joe items.
There is going to be 3&3/4 product including CUSTOM figures & accessories!
The swap meet for Saturday night in the hotel lobby is a go. This is strictly an informal
event and everyone is invited to attend.
The first fifty people through the door Saturday and Sunday morning will receive a grab
bag of goodies including a pack of 25th anniversary GI Joe playing cards! These card sets
have been donated by the National GI Joe Collectors Club.
The door prizes this year are really awesome! All you have to do to win is fill out a door
prize card when you go in. Prize winners will be announced hourly! And don't forget to
write your email address on the card so you can be contacted about future events!
In the meantime please go to our Door Prize Donor page and thank all of our good friends
who donated by patronizing their web sites and stores.
We have two one sixth scale dioramas this year. First is the WWII German Flak Bunker
Diorama. It is a series of individual custom bunkers made by members of the Houston and
Dallas GI Joe Clubs. These things are detailed out to a Tee and have to be seen to be
believed!
The second is Peter Fritsche is bringing a new one sixth scale WWII FLYING aircraft to
display. (It won't be flown - but it will be up close on display so bring your cameras!)
Overall it adds up to a really STELLAR show this year! BARGAINS GALORE! The entire
focus of this event is to bring the merchandise to YOU! Everything you want under one
roof for two days!
Our hotel room block is sold out but I have been told that some folks are getting the $99.00
room rate by using Price Line.com. If you can stay at the Sheraton I highly recommend it.
It's our base camp, it's a hundred feet from the convention center and it has free on site
parking. No valet, no parking garages.
For the first time the Great Texas GI Joe show will be hosting an on site celebrity. Lance
Corporal John Coleman Stuart USMC will be on hand to sign autographs and swap war
stories. John was on the Marine Security Guard detail at the US Embassy in Saigon at the
end of the war and was the last man on the last helicopter out. He will be on hand Saturday
and possibly Sunday so we want to invite everyone to come out and meet this great
American hero! For more about John click on the link above.
Rumor Control UPDATE:
Rumor has it that there may be an Adventure Team uniform set available at the show. The
set is supposed to be unique and not a repro of an existing set. The CARD ART has been
released and can be seen at AT SHOW SPECIAL
The rumor that Peter Fritsche may show up with a new one sixth scale flying airplane is
TRUE. Those of you who attended last year may remember Peters mind blowing P-47
Thunderbolt diorama. Here's a little teaser of things to come.
