I was lucky, I almost got in an accident going home zoning out (30 something hours no sleep), luckily my friend snapped me out of it before I rear ended some car.

Definitly a great time!!  Seeing Shipwreck with  Polly on his shoulder taking pictures with the kids was cool in and of itself.  The movie figures looked great.   Missed out on the con set, but got an Ultimate battle pack for 75 bones, awesome!  Even the missus had a good time (I took her to Ikea afterwards.  Spent too much money there too.).
Thanks again for showing that us Canadians are as rabid for our passions as anyone else

I had a great time. I got my Shortpacked Vol 1 and 2 which I am really happy about. There was a table with $5 25th Ann Joes and I really had to restrain myself haha. I got that Firefly from the comic pack that everyone raves about and now I see why cause he's teh awesome. I also got a translucent blue Cobra Commander. I thought that was pretty neat. (I'm easily amused)

Thanks again Mike. I'll be sure to come along next year.

I had a great time. I really enjoyed catching up with/meeting a lot of people. A big thank you to all the people who worked during the con.

Also - a big fie on the people who put themselves in danger by not resting. If you are passing out on the road, get some sleep!

thank you guys for another great show. The exclusives are amazing i love them! even if i will never take them out of the box.
I filled in a few holes in my collection, and added some stuff i didn't have before such as the W.O.R.M.S antenna, and most of the parts i needed for my phantom x-19. Thank you guys again for the great show and i look forward to next years.

Great job guys!  Yet again Mark Bellomo is one heck of a guy.  Great to talk to. The other guests were great to talk to dare I say even the Hasbro Canada people.   It was neat to see some folks from the States and not the usual suspects either.  The 12" dealers were a blast to visit with as well--I wish them much success.  And finally a big thanks to the Joecanuck staff for working tirelessly once again to make sure everything ran smoothly.

P.S.  Side Note:  Scramble don't forget CrabTree Publishing.  I'd love to see your book go to the next level.  Sorry Loop, children's book publisher.
