International Model & Hobby Expo Report

September 9, 2002 - Last weekend was the 2002 International Model & Hobby Expo, and RTM was on hand for the first day of the Expo. The Expo is primarily for "hobby" aspects of the industry, such as model railroads, die-casts, and r/c vehicles, but there were many exhibitors with action figures, model kits, and related toys of interest.
