I don't know if I had set my expectations too high or what but NOBODY except one person was looking to trade HWs. I felt like an idiot dragging my box of trades around. I did sell a few of my T hunts, making up gas money for the trip though I was hoping to just do some friendly trading amongst a larger group of fellow collectors. Almost all of the vendors there weren't looking to discuss collecting of HWs, just doing a very annoying hard sell spiel of their wares and one vendor who was approached by my boys in their search for stickers for the scavenger hunt was very rudely talked down to and treated like common crap for asking if he was one of the one's doling out the stars. Overall, I know SCHW did a great a job putting on the show but as for my first visit to a local HW show, the greedy, somewhat rude vendors killed the entire experience for me and I doubt I will attend another one anytime soon. As for all of the SCHW guys and gals, you did a wonderful job and I'm sorry alot more folks didn't show up and help you guys cover the cost for renting the gym. And a big ol' Thanks to the two SCHW members who took the time to talk to me and make some pity purchases and help me make gas money. Star City Hot Wheels crew is a great bunch of people and I hope things go great in the future but again, the snotty, rude vendors who didn't want to talk to you unless you had the wallet out to make a buy really left me cold . Thanks again and Happy Hot Wheeling in 2008 and beyond!! Tony Clarke, a.k.a vikingride.
