Seeing how I've never been to one of the American cons before, how do they usually do registrations? Do they send an e-mail out to club members first? I got an e-mail the other day saying registration would *not* be happening on Friday, but that seems to be a given.

I'm pretty good about checking my e-mail, but if registration starts at 9:47 pm on a Saturday night I'm probably not going to be in front of my computer. I'm ready to put my money where my mouth is and I reeeeally don't want to miss this set.

Also, who wants to bet Crazylegs and Sneak Peek are the souvenir figures? For Sneak Peek just use Grand Slam's body and that new helmet Spearhead and Hit & Run are using and it's close enough.

I heard someone say Night Force Falcon was going to be a subscription figure for year 2.

[morgardee]

Yes, I understand they said Night Force Falcon was part of wave 2 FSS at last years convention. I can't blame them for that. It's a good way to get people who bought the convention set to buy into the FSS so they can complete the convention sets.

so, 2-pack of Joes, 3-pack of Cobras and then the Night Boomer and 'Freestyle' and a smaller vehicle, y'reckon?

Pretty much. The 3 pack will be Cobra and all the same figure, just like last year. We got Frag Vipers and Saw Vipers. How about a 3 pack of Laser Vipers. I'd say Heat Viper but that dude is so cool he should be saved for the FSS.

The two Joes will have that female we saw a sketch of and another Night Force Joe. This will be the jem of the set as far as figures go.

Night Boomer is a given. Zero doubt in my mind. It will be uber hot when it comes out but cool off in a few months after the convention.

Mid size vehicle should be a land vehicle. DTC Hiss tank would be a total win for the club but it could be anything. I wouldn't have guessed an Indian Jones jeep and now truck would make it into the Joe universe, but they did. I just wonder how they are going to merge the jungle truck with those huge saw blades some day. 

The attending bonus item will be something like the assault glider that came Barrel Roll or Cobra Claw. Something small like that. If they really wanted to wow me they could make it the Firebat in new colours. That thing needs to be done in Cobra blue with red stickers some day.

Don't forget they spoke of glow in the dark stuff. Either stickers for the Night Boomer or something like that is going to glow.

[Jon S.]

Registration is today. Keep yr eyes peeled.

[morgardee]

And once again the are having server issues. Great.

I won't have access to a laptop now next week until after 5:30 so if it goes live in the day time I'm not going to have much luck. Crap.

[Jon S.]

Okay, *now* registration is open.

[morgardee]

Okay, *now* registration is open.

Yep. I got mine.

So since it's so close to the boarder this year, how many Canadians are making the trip over the boarder this year?

I'm in.

[Jon S.]

So since it's so close to the border this year, how many Canadians are making the trip over the boarder this year?

My plan is to sit in the car with Dave and sing as off-key as possible until he intentionally crashes into a telephone pole, killing us both.
