Off Topic / Why Wil Wheaton (and nerdity in general) is awesome
« on: April 28, 2013, 08:15:48 PM »
At Calgary Expo yesterday, a new mom asked Wil Wheaton to give a message to her daughter about why being a nerd is awesome.
His response is beautiful, elegant, and unleashed an army of onion-cutting Arashikage ninjas upon the room (there wasn’t a dry eye in the house).

One of the booths has an incomplete terrordrome for $200.
Boxed 83 HQ for $125 (box is in rough shape)
Moray without a price tag.
A pair of tomahawks. One for $75, couldn't see the tag on t'other.

The only missing items were one of the searchlights, and one of the trays. I put it on my comic-boxes, and there wasn't enough room for the helipad.
A bunch of broken tabs including both cameras, one of the machine guns, and 3 of the stockade walls (Wall C-beside the Vamp bay, and both of the "front" walls beside the door.)
A bunch of the decals could stand to be upgraded too (and swapped with Canadian ones, eh
)

Found a unit which required some TLC at one of the Chinook and Hobby stores in Calgary.
It needs some work, but with a bit of help from the Mike, and others, I'll have it back up and running.

Anyone going to Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo this year?
Could be a chance for a meet up

Last year had both Hama and Trempe, but this year does not look quite as Joe rich for guests. However, there's usually a good amount of Joe gear in the exhibitor's hall.

Off Topic / Re: What is the first action figure you remember getting for Christmas?
« on: December 24, 2012, 12:40:09 AM »
I remember opening up MOBAT one Christmas morning. And the heartbreak that came when I discovered that the Steeler had a faulty o-ring. He flew apart in my hands moments after I got him out of the blister.
My dad shipped it back to Hasbro, and they sent me a new one within a month or so.
Then later that summer, I was playing with it at a friends house, and it rolled down a hill, spilling Steeler, and I never found him again.
Until a couple of years ago on eBay.

Alberta / Chinook and Hobby West: Flagg in box

Saw a boxed Flagg at the north store last weekend. Only $1300 or so.
Oh, if I only had the budget (and spousal permission units!)
