What happens in Vegas definitely does not stay in Vegas, as this diecast convention was the talk of the town and spread across the nation as well through the international world. The 1st convention promoted by online social collecting network DIECASTSPACE.COM, revitalized the diecast collecting and convention industry will its new take to diecast conventions.
Rather than going through the traditional route of having just one diecast company as a sponsor, they chose to have all scales and all brands of diecast companies, thus giving more to the convention goer and diecast collector to see, and buy.
The events were standard as you had bingo, downhill racing, poker, in-room trading, charity auction, autograph sessions to name a few. The days were packed and the events were fun.
What was a nice surprise was the Hall of Fame Dinner and Award Ceremony. The Diecast Hall of Fame was created to honor those individuals that have made an impact on their field of expertise. Of some of the inductees were George Barris, Larry Wood from Hot Wheels, Vince 'Vman' Mosley, Shane Whiitenbarger and Jerry Yates from DiecastSpace, Mike Zarnock,and Bob Parker to name a few.
The experience was a blast. Look forward to going to the next Super Convention in Vegas.
