NCTOYCON Canceled for 2020, but will Return in 2021!

Hey everyone! Unfortunately our venue is still closed and won’t be open for our Sept 12th show. At this point we’re going to call it quits for our 2020 show. We are currently working on securing our dates for 2021. We’re trying to find a spot in the Fall of ’21 when we hope conventions will be able to happen. For any vendor or attendee we can give you a full refund, or we can reserve your spot for the 2021 show.

We know this is a bummer, trust us we are very bummed as well. But we promise to come back strong when its safe for everyone to attend!

Next Show! March 21st 2020!!!

Save the date! On March 21st NCTOYCON returns for their 2020 show. This will again be located at the Marbles IMAX theater and Kids Museum. Tickets for the show will go live in the new year and toy dealers can start signing up now!

We will have special guests and panelists returning and some new guests as well. All in all NCTOYCON 2020 looks to keep growing the Triangles biggest convention for toy and action figure enthusiasts!

The 2nd item we will be giving away at 3pm is an awesome R2D2 cooler that was exclusive for retailers and not available to the general public. It’s an awesome collectors item and a must for any hard core Star Wars fan!

Our first profile features James and Cindy of “The Monster Guys”. They set up at our first show and have set up at various toy shows throughout the state for many years.

BAF Parts Swap by Turbines to Speed

We are almost a week away from our fall NCTOYCON on October 20th! One new experience at this show is going to be a BAF Parts Swap led by James O’Briant from Turbines to Speed.

It will take place near the entrance to event at 2pm. Bring your spare BAF parts and trade with others to complete that Build A Figure thats been missing pieces for too long. Here are some of the pieces that James will be bringing to trade.

This should be a fun activity at the show and be a chance for different people in our toy collecting community to come together and complete their Build-A-Figures!
