A few years back, I discovered the Greater York Toy Extravaganza – a huge toy show which takes place Thanksgiving weekend in York, PA. Each year the show is packed with everything – 800 tables of modern stuff, vintage stuff and even historical stuff. Plastic crap or diecast metal crap. All types of toys for […]
Well, it’s the holiday season. I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving a week or so ago. Did you celebrate it the way most Americans did? You know – rushing to the shops to find their super-great deals. Well, not me. I decided to spend nearly half a day on the road driving to […]

I’ve never been to a toy “extravaganza” before, but I’d really have to say this seemed to be one. (Click to enlarge) First of all, the show was freakin’ huge. Seriously, I’ve been to dinky, little, local toy […]
