    Went last year. Feck all to see to be honest. Only two things I was bothered with was a brilliant home cinema setup with a HD projector and some of the nice cars that were there (R8 to be exact). Otherwise its people selling rubbish and cheap crap you would prob get for half the price on moore street.

    It's incredibly tatty...

    The year I went to it even the Scientologists had a stand with clueless slack jawed goons lining up to get their theaton levels measured outside it.

    Hells ya! I'd love to get e-meter tested :D

    Surely if you are a chick and are into guys that are complete personality-less ar*sewipes then this would be the place to go, no?

    Probably worth a look. I happened to be there when some guy was driving around on a one wheeled motorbike doin some pretty cool tricks. But that was a fluke, think he only done 2 shows a day.

    I definitely don't think it's worth paying into though. Would you pay 15 squids into a market just because you may or may not see a nike show? No.

    But if you win tickets on here then it'd be a nice way to kill a few hours.

    Don't know why anyone would ever pay to go. Have gone twice (second time was not by choice!), and both times tickets were off-loaded onto me. If your idea of a good time is gangs of young knacks, scientologists, little girls dipped in a browney-orange paint and neon clothes, and looking at some overpriced tack, then you might enjoy it.

    If, however, you have any one of the following: (class/intelligence/taste/sense/life/maturity/medium-to-large penis), then it's not for you.

    I went to the show on Thursday, free ticket thankfully, I have been to it every year and it's been getting steadily worse, it peaked a few years back with lots of high end audio, super cars, hot chicks, full Nintendo stand, proper toys for 'big' boys. It's gone downhill massively, aimed at skangers and kids, nothing but stall after stall of Chinese cheap crap, and not available in the store QVC type of junk, a handful of nice cars no decent exhibitors, even the lads pad is kitted out with cheap crap, used to be sonos, Pioneer, Bowers and Wilkens top end stuff, now a few LG tv's and cheap LG sound systems.
    One a positive note there is a 30% promotional discount on the luxury power boat that they brought in to try and flog!

    Not worth the price of entry and at this rate I'd be surprised if it's back again next year.

    So i reckon AH is the best place to post this :D

    Has anyone been to Toys' for Big Boys in the RDS?

    I plan on going this Sunday as my treat to myself and want to know if it's worth the hassle


    Cheers

    Pay to get into a glorified Gadget Shop that wants to sell you stuff, I don't think so.

    Seriously though, I was there a few years ago, got some free tickets, it was not bad. But no way would I pay to get in, not worth it.

    What's that........ a fleshlight convention?

    No it's a gadget convention, stop trying to be funny all the time.

    I went last year with three of the lads, I thought it was good craic. I spent most of the day perving the models though, and chatting up this one particular one, because she was the soundest.:cool:

    That's the kind of accurate reportage we need in this country. Buy yourself a leather chair and wheel it down to RTE, pronto.

    Howaye fixed for an interview with John Gormley?

    Well if you can't score 'Vader, like the dude has no hands. He has to get someone to polish his helmet for him!
