Heck, we have some Americans coming 8 or 9 hours away!

And Sid, a visit from Snake-Eyes or Storm Shadow is always welcome.

Sid, didn't you have a Storm Shadow costume somewhere? I'd say hold off on Firefly for now and go with either Snake Eyes or Storm Shadow this year, mainly because of the movie coming out. Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes are the characters the kiddies will want to see the most of.

Ever thought of trying to make a Destro costume?

I'd personally vote for the Storm Shadow one myself.
Snake Eyes has already been. ;-)

Thanks for the comments folks and no I don't fly while wearing anything remotely looking like camo on me though Ive had interesting conversations with CBSA folks at Pearson coming home from DragonCon ;)

Yes I had a Storm Shadow Costume but I've gotten rid of the majority of components for it... however I could remake it utilizing the compound bow, and climbing rope from the 2nd figure into something resembling the one in the movie.

Here's my Storm Shadow skit from almost 6 years ago:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dl11HCsg0M&feature=channel_page

I understand Firefly is a bit vague, but fun to do (might bring it to Atlanta this year) and well I did Snake-Eyes last year in Hamilton... if y'all think that would be the best to do again (it's pretty much ready to go) I can bring it.

Lemme know what works best - personally I like my take on Ol' Snakes than in the movie, maybe because I've looked at the character as commando first, not overly uberninjalike and all that.

Or..... you could do both?  ;D

Change costumes after awhile!

Don't tempt me but their are cost and logistics to consider before doing so.

If I do it, I might just go as Snake-Eyes again ;)

You're near Sudbury right?

That's a SHORT drive compared to some distances people are going!  :wink:

No, I am way past Sudbury. I am in Northwestern, ON. I am about a 18-20 hour drive to Hamilton. My wife is from Niagara Falls and while I would have a place to stay it is just too far. I would be there in a heartbeat if I lived closer. Maybe one year I will book some time off and come. Unfortunately, I will miss the exclusive figs as well. :(

Mike, are you going to be taking orders for the exclusives beforehand like you did with Shiver and the other figures from past years?   I MUST have one of these sets.  (yes, I think they should all be part of a big set)
