St-Lazare-Hudson Antiques, Collectibles, Militaria Show and Sale, September 9th 2012.

September 4, 2012

We had some time to sit down and chat with Patrick and Renata (promoters for this interesting new show in the West end of Montreal).

What type of items can people find at your event?

-NON-SPORT RELATED CARDS
-ANTIQUE TOYS
-COINS
-STAMPS
-MILITARY (HELMETS, SWORDS, ETC)
-BOOKS
-MOORCROFT POTTERY
-STAR WARS
-COMIC BOOKS
-MINIATURE CARS
-SPORTS MEMORABLILIA
-DOLLS
-TRAINS
-RETRO
-COCA-COLA ITEMS
-TRENCH ART
-HOTWHEELS
-POLICE MEMORABILIA
-ANTIQUE JEWELRY
-STERLING SILVER
-COUNTRY COLLECTABLES
-AND MUCH MORE….

How many dealers or tables do you plan to have?

WE ARE AT 52 DEALERS WITH MORE PENDING CONFIRMATIONS. APPRAISOR WILL ALSO BE ON SITE. OUR GOAL IS 65 FOR OUR 1ST SHOW, AND 100 FOR THE NEXT. SPACE IS NOT AN ISSUE.

Where and when will the event be held? How much is admission?

EVENT HELD AT ST-LAZARE SPORTSPLEX, 1850 RUE DES LOISIRS, ST-LAZARE, QC J7T 3B4. SUN., SEPT. 09, FROM 9AM TO 4PM. ADMISSION $8 (CHILDREN 12 & UNDER, FREE). 25% OF THAT WILL BE DONATED TO THE VETERANS HOSPITAL. WE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY PROMOTING AND ADVERTISING THE SHOW AND HOPEFULLY, IN THE FUTURE AS THE SHOW GETS POPULAR, WE WON’T HAVE TO SPEND AS MUCH SO THAT WE CAN DONATE MORE. OUR GOAL IS TO SUPPORT LOCAL CHARITIES WHERE FUNDS ARE NEEDED MOST TO HELP PEOPLE IN NEED.

Why did you decide to create such a show? How did this come about? And why in this area?

WE HAVE ATTENDED AND PARTICIPATED IN MANY SHOWS AND MET MANY DEALERS ALONG THE WAY AS WELL AS PRIVATE COLLECTORS AND DECIDED TO PUT ON A SHOW IN OUR AREA AS WE DON’T HAVE ONE. THERE ARE MANY PRIVATE COLLECTORS IN ST-LAZARE AND SURROUNDING AREAS. WE THOUGHT THIS WOULD ATTRACT MANY PEOPLE INTO THE CITY. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. THE VERY FIRST THING WE DID WAS COMMUNICATE WITH DEALERS AND COLLECTORS TO SEE IF THERE WAS AN INTEREST, AS WELL AS LOCAL RESIDENTS AND BUISNESS OWNERS. THE REACTION WAS HUGE AND RECEIVED A LOT OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK.

Do you also collect items personally? If yes, what do you like and collect personally?

WE COLLECT ANYTHING OF COLLECTABLE INTEREST. FROM COMIC BOOKS, COINS, MILITARY, ANTIQUES, TOYS, ETC..

Anything to add about the upcoming show?

HOPING TO SEE YOU ALL ON SEPT. 09, 2012 AND BRING YOUR FRIENDS TOO!

All-Star Batman and Robin Mini-Statue

April 13, 2011

A new mini-statue from DC Direct shows All-Star Batman and Robin ready to leap off a Gotham rooftop and it’s absolutely awesome. Firstly, the 5-inch height makes the brilliant sculpting and design all the more impressive when you look at what they’ve done. And secondly, it’s a tip of the hat to All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder, one of the most divisive Batman books ever published. Made out of cold-cast porcelain, the statue joins a ton others from DC Direct, including DC Universe Online items, Cover Girls of the DC Universe, Hot Toys Dark Knight busts and many, many more!

San Diego Comic Con 2010: PICTURES!

July 29, 2010

Well, I’ve just gotten back from San Diego and I’m very pleased to say that it was an absolute blast, if a little lighter on actual comic content than I’m used to. Really, though, I suppose it’s just the way of things that TV and movies seem to have officially taken precedence over the comic book stuff and at least it’s bringing people into the show where they’ll discover the stuff they might have missed out on! Plus, with movies like Red and shows like The Walking Dead, it’s further proof that there’s a symbiotic relationship between the media forms and that is definitely a good thing.

But without further ado, I’ll get to the meat of this post, THE PICTURES! Take a look at some of the cool items, set pieces and costumes from the biggest con in the world!
