February trade show?

[Jon Cole]

Is there any hobby related trade shows this month? I think there used to be. Is it still revelant? I would always look forward to new kit intros

I think most every US based hobby company just releases at the iHobby show in Chicago in October now.

Jon,

You are probably thinking about the NY Toy show. Google it and see if that is what you are thinking of.

In the past the model companies would announce some releases there that may not have been ready for the iHobby show in Chicago in November. I am not sure that the model companies go to the NY Toy show as the cost vs. benefit might be too great. In the internet age, we usually know about new releases before they can be published in a magazine.

I forgot about the Shizuoka hobby show in Japan I don't know when exactly it is but that is where many of the Asian brands bring out their new products. Then their is another big show in Asia somewhere but I can't remember it.
