Your humble blogger is still not quite recovered from his week in Chicago (and day in Louisville right before that), and it’s already time to hit the road again. The Marx Toy and Train Collector’s Show is happening again this year, and the dates are this Friday and Saturday at  The Kruger Street Toy & Train Museum in Wheeling.  Your PopCulteer is thrilled to be going back to this toy show, which is one of the most enjoyable in the country and something your humble blogger and his lovely wife look forward to every year.

This year, we’re planning on sticking around for both days of the show, and then meandering back home in some as-yet-undecided manner on Sunday.

I’ve been covering the Marx Toy Convention for fifteen years, and you can find an index to most of that coverage HERE. You can see our coverage of2021’s show HERE and HERE. 2022’s coverage was spread across a few posts, HERE, HER E, HERE, and HERE. Likewise, our 2023 coverage can be found HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.

You can expect a lot of photos and video from this yea’rs show next week in PopCult. We are also playing catch-up with other stuff, so the plan is to bring you our regular guide to STUFF TO DO tomorrow, then hit you with a massive WonderFest photo essay on Friday. Chicago photos are coming next week, too.

Anybody who grew up with Marx Toys, or anybody interested in West Virginia industries, or just folks who love toys, should make it a point to go to this show and check out the wonders of The Kruger Street Toy & Train Museum. It’s a real gem.

Here’s the video from last year’s show…
