There was a time in the Northeast when you could easily find at least one or two toy shows a month to attend. John Carlisle would organize a few shows in this area, plus there were a lot of smaller shows in various halls. All of these shows, for the most part, have disappeared. 

​That lust for the so-called “limited-edition die-cast models” has cooled off. Now, we have the true antique toy collectors, and the hard-core promotional model collectors chasing those hard-to-get DCP and old Winross models.
