Wow I did not realize that getting a CON set was such a "touchy" subject  :lol:


and hey, if anyone wants to show up dressed as a JoeCanuck character, I'm all for it!

I wouldn't say "touchy" subject - it's just that I've gotten a ton of emails about them each year and this thread is the best solution we could come up with.



Are the e-mails getting worse every year on this?

 Last year was my first year and my anxiety about getting one and getting there as early as possible made me miss out on half the con due to having to take a nap.  The stupid thing about it was that I could have got in line all the way up to the point they gave out the wrist bands and I still would have been fine.  Just remember guys similar to what latinjoe said, better to miss out on the first 50 figure than to cut your sleep short and miss out on most of the con or be so tired you walk around like a zombie at it.

Anyone want to play a round of GIJoe monopoly in the lobby at 5am?  ;)

Looking at the hotel pictures, I don't think there's going to be much room to hang out in the lobby

Hanging out in the lobby, prior to the convention is not an option.

I spent nearly 30 minutes on the phone with my rep from the Sheraton today.

They will have security to ensure no one is in the lobby the convention portion of the hotel from 9pm to 9am.


However, you are now freely permitted to line up WHENEVER YOU WISH outside of the Convention doors - to the right of them, where the sign directs you. Regular rules for obtaining a wristband still apply.

It took some convincing, so please respect the hotel and it's staff. You are only permitted to wait OUTSIDE the hotel.


Should it be raining, I have also arranged for you to all wait inside - ONCE I arrive. We'll have a section secured for you all inside the convention halls. But, we will deal with that should it happen.

Happy now guys? You can now sleep outside instead of that hotel room you paid for. ;-)

ALSO - Anyone that booked AFTER the cut-off date, your parking should be covered as I cleared that today as well. Just mention it at the front desk, they will be notified to waive the parking fee from your bill Friday night.

Thanks for looking after the parking!
Now I just hope I have a good view of the line up spot from my room....

Howdy strangers :)

I've just found out that I have that day off (barring any emergencies) and will try to stop by, and yes there will be a costume if I do make it (a new one to boot) ;)

Cheers :)

Hello, I have never been to one of these events, but I'm coming up this year. I do have 2 questions:

1. Do we need cash for the convention items/entrance, or is there some way a bank card can be used?

2. How are these figures made? I know they are not Hasbro made, but are they cast from a mold or painted over existing figures? If the are just painted over/dyed, how durable are they do being moved when posed?

Thanks!

1.  Cash only.
2.  Although not an expert on the process, I know there is some dyeing.
