November 2026 Allentown Toy Show. This show is my most expensive and stressful of the shows that I do all year.
November 2026 Allentown Toy Show: Report
This year was the 46th Allentown Toy Show. I have been to most of them. Due to high competition, I have to purchase early rights. Early Rights are $50.00 per person and give you access to both days of dealer setup and the show itself. So I got early rights and went into the show.
The show was loaded with Marx playsets and figures, but I ran into a problem. Either I could not use what they had for resale or the collection. What was being offered, I had in stock and did not need more, or at a price not worth picking up. Don’t get me wrong, there was a lot of Marx to choose from, including partial Alaska and Ben-Hur playsets. The best piece there was a mint-in-box Skyscraper playset, but at suppose price of $3000.00, I stayed away. Another dealer had two Remco Big Caesars, which again I did not ask the price, as they are a pain to ship. One dealer had two Marx Johnny Ringo in various conditions. I do not have one, but I am willing to pay the price. With this same dealer, he had a Marx Military Academy playset at $289.00, but I have nowhere to display it.
I found very little the first day. One dealer had a Dark Horse Tarzan. Its has minor damage, but I can live with it. Also, from the same dealer, I got some mounted Crusaders. My best purchases were a bag of Lido Knight weapons and a mounted Britains Eyes Confederate. After making the above purchase, I headed home.
The Second Day
I got to the show early on the second day. I walked around and found a little more. I heard that a dealer set up later in the day with carded MPC. There was a feeding frenzy. I took time to say hello to friends. One party offered me bags of MPC ringhands with no accessories for $5.00 a bag. I passed, as I have loads of them in inventory.
The crowd came in and was done in 15 minutes. It was not like the old days when the line went around the building. Also, I noticed there seem to be a lot of lookers. I had two outside purchases that made so I left early.
That’s some interesting stuff. The last picture features a collection of Reamsa Spanish army figures from the Napoleonic era, particularly some poses from the Agustina de Aragón set. It’s not the full set of reissues, though. Also, the TARZAN figure is something I’m not familiar with.
