Title: Enough with selling sets. Let's see yours!!!
Post by: canprime on August 31, 2009, 05:24:36 PM
Mods feel free to move this thread.  I thought I would start it out here.

Anyway, we see/hear about sets going on Ebay or for sale mostly.  How about we start showing off what we have on display.

Here is mine, with souvenirs from travel (Bermuda, Panama) and some alcohol:

Great idea!

Here's mine.

(http://http://www.joecanuck.com/09/set09.jpg)

and before anyone asks, I purchased some of those Red troopers at the Toronto Toy Show from an Asian dealer and did up the packaging for the main staff of the CanJoeCon that had a hand with this years Con Set. Only 6 exist.

EDIT: I gotta take a better pic.... without glare.

Why purchasing them at the Toronto Toy Show when they were selling at the CanJoeCon?  :lol:

The packaging looks really great!

I keep my set in the box on the bottom of my display.  I only take it out to take pictures with the CJC 25th customs I do.  (Dont worry snowbank is coming!  :wink:)

I hear that Chrome paint doesnt hold up well over time so Im kind of wary of leaving it out of the box into the light.

Did you see the pic I took from another angle? check out that Red Hiss driver on the far right and where Backstop is now standing. I sure had fun taking these pics.

Ya know, the only thing I found offensive about that dude humping those H.A.T.E. tanks was the fact that he was drinking light beer. A Canadian exclusive and light beer should never be in the same picture.

Light beer is just wrong.

Well said. In fact you could take out the word "exclusive" and it still works.

As for the whole thread. Wow, just wow.
Not offensive.....I'm not sure there is a word.  I'm not sure his post even uses words. How about "debacshamtardamockery"
I'm stunned.

OMG! I could not stop laughing at the guy.  Plus the posts after were even funnier as they are out to find him and get there missing sets.  Was he trying to smoke the HATE or did he think it was a Bong?

I don't need to be reassured...I won your auction last month, so I know you don't have it anymore...

LOL, just kidding. Whenever you have a chance to get to it. I'm looking forward to seeing it displayed in its full wonder.

I had some spare time today, so I took this picture as I remembered someone requesting to see a HATE tank displayed with Cobra Mortal.

That is sweet.  I love those guys, mortal, de aco, invasor.  That de aco is a custom right?  I like it.

Sure is. And so is the far guy to the right. Invasor is the original brazilian figure, and Mortal is the convention re-edition.

I was surprised this weekend when I recovered two pics that I believed to be lost forever and that I intentionally took for the card contest. Hence I never got around to enhance them or submitted them but that's alright, at least they're here now :wink: that's what really counts. They're both pics of Backstop doing some action poses.

Later this Fall, i will be hunting for this set.  Whatever if the price is higher, i will get this set.
For now, all my money was spend for the US and CAN conventions.  I hope that i will able to display a set in this thread before the end of the year :)

You are a man of your word in the end...I salute you! You could've taken them out from the foam and display them in action, but that would be too much asking since I got you to at least open the lid. As for your favorite number, I totally understand. When you got this set, did you try trading for the number you wanted?

Thanks Latinjoe, if you still have your set after the con, send me a PM.  Maybe in one or two weeks, i should be able to buy it.  Anyway, i will probably meet you at the con :)
