Absolutely loved the new Renegade's figures-shame we didn't get Roadblock,Baroness or even a Zartan figure (maybe later on in the year).
The Con exclusives look great but as always some greedy people buy loads then sell them for extremely high prices-is there any way that this can be stopped-maybe limit to 2 of each per person.
This doesn't happen at any of the Canadian Con's as far as I'm aware.
Loved the vehicles-especially the Cycle Armor w/Ashiko but was surprised that we didn't get any Renegade vehicles like the Coyote or even that superb jeep that Flint & LJ ride in-again maybe later in the year.
All in all I'm going to be poor for another year.

Turner, I'm sorry you had to go through all that trouble.  But this is the way of all cons, not just Master Collector.  Even Canada Joe Con.  If you went last year to Canada Con at about 6-7 am even hoping to get a Cobra Snake you would have been out of luck.  If you are going to a con, and you want to get the exclusives, you really have to plan ahead.  You can't show up whenever it's convenient and expect things to still be there for sale.  This con was worst than most as far as sellouts go.  But for those who say that MC were just looking for the cash grab, that's not entirely the case.  They were originally going to do 2x for regular attendees, and 6x for golden ticket since it was a multiple of 3 for golden ticket, then they realized they would have sold out of everything before about half of the regular attendees got through line on thursday night, so they shifted it to 1 and 3. 



Was there anyone else sporting Canada Con shirts at the con this weekend?  I saw a joecanuck mod wearing one, but didn't see anything else.  I was worried that Savage might give me a grimace when I was talking to him at the panel while wearing one, but it didn't seem to be an issue.  I kept pushing the "GET YOUR PASSPORTS NOW"  message onto everyone who picked up a flyer at the declassified booth, so they won't have any excuses this year (like they seem to every year).

Of course they did.  Why wouldn't they?  I assumed you sent them to put them in the booth.

Nope... not that I can recall.... Cool nonetheless! :)

So, thanks to whoever took them!

These were the 4x7 ones, right? Awesome.

Yeah they were the 4x7. I'm almost positive it was cmderinchief who brought them.  He's the number 1 Canada Con pimp in the US

Ah yes! I sent him some MONTHS ago - for something else, not the Convention. Wicked. Thanks!

I'd say send me some too, but anytime I'm at a con or a get together in my area, he's there too.

Something tells me that sdcc skystriker will be more like $500 to actually get.  No thanks.

I hope not, but I'm sure it will hit that high on EVILbay!

Not, I think the Star Scream / Cobra Commander is suppose to be around $70 to buy at SDCC.
