Great Texas GI Joe Show

[Alyosha]

Hey guys, it's that time of year again. The D/FW, San Antonio, and Houston branches of the GIJCC are holding their third show March 15th and 16th of the year. Last year was the first time in the D/FW area and it was a pretty big success.

 

This years show has changed venues and is going to be held at the Arlington Convention Center in Arlington Texas right next to Six Flags and the Ballpark. The show sponsors have even secured a block of rooms at a very reduced rate for those who are travelin in town for the show.

 

Admission is only $5 (as is parking @grumpy@ ). There will be custom contest for 1/18th figures, 1/6th figures, and 1/6th vehicles. There are prizes for first ($50 GC or merch) and second ($25 GC or merch) for each category supplied by vendors like myself (Alyosha' Corner), Smalljoes and many others. Every contest entrant will also receive a sample pack of 1/18th weapons from Marauder John at Marauder Inc.

 

Events include a 1/6th Tank Rodeo (you drive 'em), a Basics of Resin Casting Class Saturday and Basics of Mold Making Class Sunday (by yours truly), and a Professional Diorama Photography Class as well. These classes are all free, but seating is somewhat limited so there will most likley be a sign up sheet.

 

There are 25 dealer tables that I am aware of, offering items ranging from 1/18th figures or all styles, custom parts (me again), and 1/6th figures and custom parts and clothing. Take a minute too look over the linked page below and if your remotely close come on out and see us in Arlington (that means you Blackjack)!
