"The Ultimate Toy & Collectibles Expo" at the Orange County Fairgrounds was
a huge success. Here are just a few of the comments we received:
Hi Kim,
Didn't have time to tell you this weekend. Thank You for a great show. I did absolutely awesome both days, sales were the biggest made in a weekend than I have ever done in a two-day show. Thank you for having it run so smoothly. I have done many shows with many different vendors and this was a really organized show.
Thank you again and have a great week.

Hello,
I want to thank "Charazard" & his wife for their wonderful hospitality at the Pokémon tournament last weekend! You were both very kind to me & my stepson, Zachary. He's the little guy who you were nice enough to "teach" how to play "for real". He did nothing but rave to his dad about what a great time he had!!! We had hoped to see you again on Sunday, but we had some other stuff going on & just couldn't get back there.
I had discussed with Charizard the possibility of him making a guest appearance as Charazard for Zachary's birthday on October 9th. If this is something you would consider, I have two ideas: one, at his afterschool center on the 9th or two, at his party on Saturday 10/2. Please let me know if you are interested in this.
ALSO--when will your store open in Costa Mesa? I am considering getting a gift box via the net from you - or if the store opens this week, I'll get it there if it is available. What is the shipping cost of the gift box to Newport Beach (my office)? Would I get it by next Thurs (9/30)?
Thanks again & I am sure we will see you both again! Your kindness was appreciated! Keep up the good work, you make little kids happy!

Dear West Coast Trade Shows,
Thank you for the wonderful event you organized last weekend. As you know, we launched a brand new web site http://www.vtoyshop.com at your Expo. We sell many of the hottest toys and collectibles on the market today from the best manufacturers. We met many of nation's top manufacturers and distributors, like Mary Beth's Bean Bag World, Crazy Bones and UCC distributing... Additionally, we had a great time showing off our quality secure web site to all of the friendly patrons.
Your Expo was one of the most pleasant and well organized events of this kind we have attended. Your entertainment was great and the Pokémon tournament was interesting to see. Please send me information to your next event in March. We would love to attend. Again, thank you for the opportunity VToyShop.com had introducing ourselves to Orange County.
