MTSC attends many shows each year, both in the USA and abroad. We try to visit a wide variety of shows including militaria shows, wargaming conventions, historical figure shows, modeling shows and industry trade shows as well as the regular toy soldier shows. It gives us a chance to meet our customers, put a face to the name and promote our business. Shows are a great way to meet fellow collectors, view and discover new products, look at wonderful displays of figures and learn new things. We encourage anyone with an interest in these hobbies to attend the shows in their area. National shows of note include the Chicago Toy Soldier, The East Coast Toy Soldier Show, The MFCA Show, The Chicago MMSI show, Weekend of Heroes, The London Show, the Bad Nuehiem show in Germany and the West Coaster in California. These shows typically draw collectors and vendors from all over the world and are considered top events within the hobby.
