The Pro Customizers showed off some great work this year at the 2010 DiecastSpace Super Convention. There were many new pieces to be seen as well as some repeat favorites from previous events. It was fun to see some of the latest castings being used here and there as well. Chris Walker event entered his new custom Dreamliner complete with opening doors and hood. Enjoy!

Just on the tail of being able to share pictures of the upcoming limited edition Diecast Hall of Fame Dairy Delivery, comes this preview of MiQ Willmott’s limited edition 2010 DiecastSpace Super Convention poster.

Only 200 of these are being printed and each will be signed and numbered. This poster will only be available to Super Convention attendees on a first come, first served basis.

Be sure to visit the official Super Convention website for more information on tickets and accommodations.

Legendary artist and ex-Hot Wheels graphic designer MiQ Willmott has teamed up with pro customizer turned diecast manufacturer, Chris Walker to create one of my favorite pieces for the upcoming 2010 DiecastSpace Super Convention. This amazing Dairy Delivery has been made in celebration of this year’s Diecast Hall of Fame and certainly pulls out all the stops.

Each Dairy will come on a custom card as shown in the mockup. The run is limited to only 75 pieces and will sell for $80 each (limit of 2 per person).

Attendees will certainly have a challenge deciding where to spend their money with pieces like this and some of the other limited edition customs being produced for the Super Convention!

See you in Vegas!

Drag Bus collectors attending the 2010 DiecastSpace Super Convention will have the opportunity to snag one of these limited edition creations from Diecast Hall of Fame inductee, Bryan Pope. Each piece features Redline Real Riders, two tone paint, original graphics and will come mounted in an acrylic case.

The sale will take place on Friday, February 19th at 5:30pm in front of Salon 4 at Circus Circus Hotel and Casino. The sale will be on a first come first served basis and collectors may not line up earlier than 5pm. Only 20 buses were created and will sell for $100 each with a limit of one per person.

GreenLight Toys has been a great supporter of all the DiecastSpace.com convention right from the get-go and 2010 is certainly no different. This week collectors are treated to a first look at the flat artwork of GreenLight’s 2010 Super Convention car.

This 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 is a brand new casting, and its making its debut in a promo run for the Super Convention. The final piece will come dressed in Kona Blue Metallic with White Stripes and will sport the convention logo on the roof.

A total of 1008 pieces are being produced for the convention. 912 of those will be Regular Version cars and the remaining 96 will be Green Machines. As an added bonus, GreenLight Toys will be offering a special deal for convention goers. Collectors who buy 5 regular version cars will receive a Green Machine for FREE!

Tickets for the 2010 Super Convention and special events are still available in limited quantities. Be sure to visit the official 2010 Super Convention website for more information on tickets and accommodations.

The Diecast Hall of Fame’s “Class of 2010” will see some changes in the official ring each inductee receives as part of their entrance into the prestigious organization. We unveiled the Class of 2009’s ring early this year, and many collectors have has the opportunity to see them in person at various diecast conventions through-out the year.

The rings are custom made for each inductee by Jostens and include multiple precious gems in addition to the inductees name for the ultimate personal touch.

The Diecast Hall of Fame induction ceremony is just one of the many incredible events that will be taking place at the 2010 DiecastSpace Super Convention in Las Vegas Nevada in February.

Fresh off the glimpse of the 2010 Super Convention Dinner Dairy we got a short while ago is this look at a raw, unpainted version of 2010 Shelby Mustang from GreenLight that attendees of the VIP Admin Party will receive. I think this is just the tip of the iceberg for the sneak peeks with just a few months left until the main event.

Every now and then something cool slips by me only to surface a short while later. This is one of those times. Just in case you missed it (like I did), here’s a look at the very first e-sheet for the convention cars being produced for the 2010 DiecastSpace Super Convention.

This limited edition Dairy Delivery is being made by Bryan Pope of Pope Designs for the Diecast Hall of Fame Dinner. Tickets to the Hall of Fame Dinner and Ceremony are available on the official Super Convention website for $100.

Sure, the 2010 DiecastSpace Super Convention is still about 5 months away, but that just means there will be 5 months of exciting announcements coming your way with details about all the exciting things that will be part of the event. One of those events is a newly rumored “carnival-style” party to be thrown by Liberty Promotions.

So far there are only a few details to share. The first is that Liberty Promotions will be creating a limited edition VW drab bus specifically for this event. This bus is currently slated to be limited to just 250 pieces! Attendees will also have the opportunity to spin the Liberty Promotions prize wheel for an additional limited edition car. If that isn’t enough to peak your interest, then rest assured that there will be other activities and chance to win even more great prizes through-out the party.

How much do you think admission to such an event would cost? Collectors of Liberty Promotions buses know that their “Rebel Run” buses are equally limited as this party bus will be AND they typically sell on the secondary market for more than $100! Well, the current party ticket price is set to be just $60. Not too shabby for the bus alone, but even better with the added bonuses. Plus, there’s more to be announced.

Stay tuned for more information on when tickets for this special addition to the convention will be available. Until then, you can find information about tickets and accommodations for the convention itself on the official Super Convention website.

Great additions to the 2010 DiecastSpace Super Convention are already starting to roll in! In case you missed it in the DCS e-mail blast, both Chip Foose and Carson Lev will be the guest of honor at next year’s Legends dinner! Here’s the lowdown from the DCS:

“The Legends Dinner from the first Super Convention was one to dream about, Larry Wood, Tom Daniel and George Barris all shared the same stage. So how could we possibly make this event any better?

Special thanks goes to Alex’s Toy Chest for making this a phenomenal addition to the Super Convention!”
