Ken Ciak of Lod Enterprises has been nice enough to send us some photos he took on Sunday at OTSN. He also gave a few thoughts on his experiences at the show.
I had a good experience at last week’s OTSN as a dealer (it is always great as a collector and fan). I did not have many chances to wander around to see all of the dealers and their wares, but here are a few pictures. There was a long line for the 10:00 AM opening, but it thinned out fairly quickly after lunch time.
I had great conversations with most people that stopped by and was engaged by some very bright kids wishing to discuss the Trojan War and Iliad. The challenge remains how to drive more young fans to these shows. Certainly most of them come with parents who are enthusiastic about toy soldiers, but they were also passionate about the figures and hobby.
Interesting his view and pictures. Yep usually at lunch time the shows slow down.
The same fact I been commenting ,come out again. The attraction of young generations hard to bring as poorly motivated and negative view teach of the history and war/action plus toy armies.
Wonder how many sets sold out at show, not in wholesale as it is his business of course.
And to who he sold most ,like ages and type collector if got chance to find out as it is very fast time.
It was great meeting you Ken. I am glad you did well. Still sorry I had to turn down that Octoberfest beer Saturday night. I still will contact you privately.
And the Packers won the next night!

One day!
