The Edmonton Collectible Toy and Comic Show is a family-friendly one-day, annual event that caters to Edmonton?s large toy and comic book collecting community and the young-at-heart alike. The show is now in its seventh annual year and is enjoying its second year in the Shaw Conference Centre. There will be over 25,000 square feet of exhibit space where Western Canada?s finest vendors will be offering up a wide variety of collectible toys, comics, video games and more!

In addition to all of the great collectibles at The Edmonton Collectible Toy and Comic Show, the event organizers are proud to announce that three special guests will be in attendance and signing autographs this year:

James Kyson Lee

The Edmonton Collectible Toy and Comic Show is pleased to be working once again with The Edmonton Food Bank.
