The day after the con is always so strange. You have this feeling like "I didn't get to see anybody" after spending eight hours in a room with hundreds of people. You're jealous to hear about all the cool stuff people saw even though you walked the same floor as them as many times as they did. And now you're not surrounded by more toys than a hundred childhoods, but suddenly the maybe dozen toys you ended up with are the coolest toys in the whole world.
In that vein, here are a few shots taken a day or two after the con.
My con set, #6.
Wait, what's that in the corner?
Viperlord, whom I carpooled with, bought a Sky Patrol Sky Hawk with box, you see. When I took my set out of his trunk, the sticker had moved onto my stuff. I guess it sensed that there was more chrome nearby. The glue was old so I was able to apply it and then remove it for this novelty shot without leaving residue.
The selection of reading material I left the con with.
Once a Holy Grail, now an army builder.
Some MOC goodness.
With all the 25th figures packed with JUMPs, someone needs to keep Cobra Island's sky safe.
Actually, I got these items the weekend of the con but neither came from the con. I made it known that I'm a big fan of Trouble Bubbles and was on the hunt for blue ones. Raptor hooked me up with the Trouble Bubble he didn't want from the Ultimate Battle Pack. Then, the day after the con, we went toy shopping and I found a Croc Master.
The croc may eventually get his own Fang.
Something else I got before the con was DVD set #5. I'm sure I'm making many people jealous by showing off my MASS Device.
So much time has passed between getting the first set and the last set that dust had settled.
I was mostly excited to complete the MASS Device (minus a couple of elements), so I was extremely surprised by how much I loved Alpine. I knew I couldn't leave the con without his pal Bazooka. Here they are, together again and ready to yoddle an avalanche.
Maurauder John of
Maurauder Gun-Runners set up at the Canadian Joe Con for the first time, showing off his variety of exclusive 3 3/4" accessories. One I liked in particular was the modular SKAR rifle.
The Skar comes with a great variety of scopes and mountable weapons. They are all of the highest quality, but one I did not expect to find a use for was the chainsaw bayonet.
It looked great and was a fun concept, but I couldn't imagine anyone but a Dreadnok using it. Since I don't do Dreadnok customs, who else would be crazy enough to run into battle with that thing?
