History
The show was organized by OTSN, Inc., publisher of Old Toy Soldier News. It became known as the Old Toy Soldier Show or simply, the OTSN Show.

In 2016, one of the original founders of OTSN purchased the show from the other partners. CTSS, Inc. began organizing the show.

The show was held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel near Woodfield Mall, in the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg, Illinois. Due to complications during contract negotiations, the relationship with Hyatt was terminated in January 2023.

In 2023, Matthew Murphy of Hobby Bunker took over organization of the show. The name changed to Chicagoland Toy Soldier Show.
