Don't forget the CGCC Swap Meet in the spring and fall time. Oh also the new Guelph Swap, there having one on May 7th I believe.

Does this mean the CGCC and Guelph swaps are on the same day?

Has anyone heard anything regarding the next Hamilton swap? I missed it last time and don't want to miss it again.

Probably not......however, if I'm wrong, it's best to go to the CGCC swap, because.......

Haha honestly I'd rather go to CGCC... I went to the Guelph one and everyone there had just tons of Nintendo crap, which I either had no interest or was wayyy overpriced and out of budget to spend on a video game ever. Also they had the wrong street name down on the posters! It was on Watson Parkway, not Watson Rd which is like 2 blocks over. I guess it was there first time hosting one, but even then me and my friend were really annoyed by that. One guy had four (4) copies of Earthbound and he didn't move any of them! CGCC at least has a mix of stuff and its more collectors, instead of just resellers who want absolute top dollar for everything.

We originally had May 7th book but with two other shows the same day we changed it. I talked to the Guelph guy and he changed his to May 14th

Never been to one of these. Is the Toronto Toy And Video Game Extravaganza worth driving down from Ottawa for?

Any more information on GTA Game X? That's just down the road from my place. Any signup needed or any complication finding the right hall in the convention center?

So I'm not sure if it wasn't up before or not, but I managed to find GTX Game X's info page (with $5 ticket payment) when I searched again this morning. It can be found at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/gta-gamex- ... 1845881890
