I already had plans this past weekend. I have always wanted to go to it maybe after all the wedding stuff cools down. Where's the gift registry at on the website Chuck?

I went to the show last Friday. There was quite a crowd there when it opened, but dyed down after 1:00 PM. The auction was Saturday evening at 5:00 PM after the show. From what I heard, it was slow on Saturday and people started packing up at 3:00 PM. There was only a 5% internet premium and the prices I thought were reasonable on a lot of items. I managed to buy a few pieces at really good prices. There were 10-12 tables of construction diecast, with a little bit of everything for sale. There were quite a few tables with Tonka, Buddy L, Smith Miller, and just about every other truck and toy you could think of. And of coarse a lot of 1/64th scale trucks with quite a few customs. There were spots left with empty tables. There should be pictures in the Toy Trucker and Contractor next month or the month after. Unknown if the show will go back to Indianapolis next year. A full list of vendors can be seen at: http://www.toytrucker.com/27th-annual-national-toy-truck-n-construction-show

Wow, some good bargains to be had at that auction - just had a look through the results. I'd have bought a few models for sure!
