    I didn't know where to post this, so I started up a new topic. Last weeekend I went to the Frank & Son Collectible warehouse and they had a poster up announcing that February 17th is Star Wars Day. Some members from the 501st are going to be present.

    F&SC is one of the largest single source for collectibles in Southern California. They have over 150 dealers who sell comic books, movie memorabilia, sports cards, posters, etc. Includes Star Wars, McFarlane Toys, Barbie, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Carribean, etc. You get the picture. My brother Darth Zombie has been going there for years.

    The address is 19649 E. San Jose Ave.
    City of Industry, CA 91748

    Go to www.frankandsonshow.com for more info and directions.

    My family and I are definietly going. For those of you who plan to attend, see you there! ;)

    There are several of us from the IEFF that are planning on going to F&S on Saturday before our meeting. That place is addicting and dangerous!

    LB, I'm really suprised that you, the collector of FX sabers, hasn't ever been there! It's like a miniature Comic-Con dealers floor. I love it!

    This place is close to my house, although I haven't been there since we've moved to Whittier. It is a very dangerous place. I always find several things I want to buy. Sometimes you can get a deal, most of the time you won't. It's a fun place to check out though. I can't make it this Saturday anyway.

    According to mapquest it's 62 miles and an hour, 5 minutes. Big difference is that I don't work weekends and when you live up in the high desert, you get used to having to drive everywhere!!

    Bald Cuban guy? Does he work at a booth or what? That place is dangerous!! I went. Had Ray Parks sign my old double lightsaber that I got back when they came out in '99. I've never taken it out of the box. I think it's a pretty cool souveneer.(sp) I took a few pix, but not many. Here they are.
