The recent Super Convention in Las Vegas has come and gone but the memories live on. With over several hundred in attendance and companies like Greenlight Diecast, Collectable Corner, Liberty Promotions, and Custom Crew to name a few, the diecast collecting industry has never been stronger. Diecast kustomizers were on hand such as DK Kustoms, Kevan Bence, Chris 'Night Stalker' Walker, Bryan Johnson, SD Chop Shop, and Execution Kustoms were on hand to show their newest creations. Diecast Designers such as Bryan Pope were displaying and selling his new limited edition VW Drag Buses.
Celebrities were far and wide at this event. Car designers like Phil Reihlman, Larry Wood, John D'Agostino, Dwayne Vance, Tom Daniel as well as writers Mike Zarnock, Bob Parker, Sid Belzberg, and Mac Ragan were on hand to sign autographs on their latest publications.
The highlight of the event was the Hall of Fame, Class of 2010 Induction Ceremony, and the Legends Dinner with Chip Foose. The HOF Dinner was spectacular with a special and moving tribute to a fallen comrade for the diecast and DiecastSpace family, Shane Whittenbarger. His family were present to view and experience this sad but moving tribute. The Legends Dinner was a blast with the Chip Foose as the guest of honor. Its always good to hear and see the man behind the custom car classic work.
The Diecast Bingo, Diecast Uno, events were also great as well as the Custom Diecast Car Contest, Downhill Racing, run by the Texas Diecast Racing Association, The In Room Trading and the Charity Auction. It was a fun time to be had by all and look forward to next years convention in Las Vegas.
