Ill be there on Sunday. Its the day that the venders are packing it up. They dont want to bring home inventory and will give some great deals on product when the show runs down to closing time. Bring extra cash.

To answer your question though, Firesprink, newguy, maxximun44, mr.tune, tex, hagasan, ElDogg, mikeh, and more were at the bash.

HAGASAN Wrote:The show has been slowly losing manufacturers in the chitown area for the last few years. It wasnt here last year because it was in Cali and it had basically almost every big name company, almost. This year man not even Tamiya is going to be there, atleast i dont see them on the floor plan. Thunder Tiger/Ace was there a couple years ago, associated too. 3 years ago Kyosho was there with Greatplanes(they are there). It just sucks man that they dont partake in the show anymore around here. Big reason for it is the cost of renting the space. CHitown unions have really fuked it up for the conventions around here these last few years, charging rediculous(sp) amounts of money for nothing. I remember AL's hobbyshop telling me what they have to pay for there space there, its crazy. you cant do anything to set up your space either, you have to rent the extension cords and you cant even plug them in, you cant build shelving either, they have to do it for you and you are paying mucho dollors for stupid sh1t. So you cant really blame the manufactures for not taking part in the chitown show. Im a union man and that is like taking advantage of paying customers, its a joke.

Just wondering but are we confusing iHobby with the RCX Show? RCX was scheduled to run in Chicago and then the promotors cancelled it. From the iHobby site it looks like this will be more than just "our" hobby, but trains, etc...

Joe, as for trade shows and union strongarm stuff...+1000 !!
My company does two major shows at McCormick Place every two years and you have to grease every palm from the Crook County line all the way to the show floor. And when you are needing multiple semi-trailers loaded and moved, the breakdown of the show can take several extra days of just waiting for your turn at the docks unless you "have your reservations" made in advance.

Some union guy is driving a pretty nice new 'Vette after we leave town!

When we went to the IHobby show here 2 years ago almost all if not all Manuf. were repped.

The IHobby show was in LA last year. I think LA and CHI are switching back and fourth every year now.

The RCX show was also supposed to be at McCormick last year and they switched it back to Anehiem.

Dave C, I worked a few days with the Riggers Union taking down a SHow of CNC machines. It was a huge show. But the things i witnessed going on within that place are spot on what you said. Money talks and BS doesnt just walk, it has to pay aswell. Thats a main reason that most of these shows are going to the southern states and Vegas. You cant even hang your own signs of your company there its so bad. I remember Daley was trying to crack down on all the BS with the convention shows.....they must have greased his palm because it hasnt been brought up in the last few years.
