I wanted to go, but my son is too young to enjoy Disney World.  I did not waste my time battling my wife on this one.

I really wanted to go this year, but the timing is wrong for me.

I don't get it. What's the big appeal to him? The card art looks nice and all but I've heard people complain about the head and the body choice.

If this was coming out at regular retail, who you still NEED him?

I would want him because I like one of everything but he's not a need. Much like the yellow Stalker or Snake Eyes with black timber. Sure, I would like both of those, but I won't pay inflated prices, so I will probably never own them.

I would only get 2 for my MOC collection.

Yes! It's probably the only chance we have to get that character on card..I'd pay 40$ for it max! I think the pre-orders are already at 200$ on eBay right now!

They said they had 50 sets for people that did not register and just showed up at the Con.  Call the Club to verify, it was in one of their email updates.

Yeah, we had a blast at last year's canjoecon.  My first time in Canada and definately a trip to remember.  I've wanted to visit Canada since I was a kid and with the convention, I finally had a reason!  I enjoyed meeting you guys and even the 7 hour sidewalk wait.

That's the problem with being involved. So many things happen so fast that you tend to miss out on the social aspect of it sometimes.  :-

I remember on the Friday night that Turner's son fell asleep on the floor waiting for Turner to stop digging for Joes in all those bins!

Mike took a picture!  He posted it and I think it was even in the newsletter!

Just checked, the August, 2010 issue!

(didn't mean to triple post, I thought I was modifying the second one)

Does anyone have an extra set of figures?  I am looking for the Python TeleViper.  If anyone got an extra set and are willing to let a Python TV go, please let me know.  He's all I need to complete my Python Patrol set.  Wouldn't mind a Sparta as well, but the TeleViper is my priority.

Thanks!

Before she was ho hum. ::)  But sadly due to work scheduling I'm not able to attend maybe :shifty:
