One of the best toy shows on the east coast is ending its run in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

Next year, The Toys For The Ages Expo is moving to an all-new facility in Gettysburg, but last weekend’s show was a fitting way to say goodbye, and was a spectacular event.

The Expo always offers some of the most desirable items for toy collectors, spanning many vintage and modern toy lines.  And for Star Wars fans, the show was packed with rare carded figures, prototypes, vehicles, playsets and the accessories you need to complete your collectibles!

Join host David Quinn as he returns to Carlisle for the fourth year, in part one of the Toys For the Ages Expo weekend series.

Tour the show with him during vendor setup, chat with fellow collectors, hear about some of the early Friday pickups, and learn why The Toys For The Ages Expo resonates with so many people.

This is only the beginning for the incredible Expo.  And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
