The threat of a violent act (i.e bodily harm) to somebody else was not confirmed from a person who was inside the room when it happened. He knows better not to lie to Mike and I trust him. I will not mention who he is as he doesn't want to be apart of this mess. We talked on MSN last night about it.
And Mike, if you are taking into account all expenses, then this convention was in the red. It cost me 20 bucks in gas alone to get the 20 figures (not including the drive to Hamilton for the drop off, which is another 20 bucks). If everything was done by the books, this was a money losing venture. Why did I do this (i.e. get involved), find out below.
I just honestly think this is it for me. I'm most likely not doing another one of these things.... and highly doubt my original reasons for being involved in this hobby in the first place will ever really come back as they did Saturday night. Kinda pathetic huh?
What? Figure or convention meet, or both? I was afraid of the ramafications of this. The reason why I got involved in the planning was to met other collectors and shoot the sh*t with them. That was the only reason for wanting to be there. If is heck a whole lot of fun to talk to GI JOE with somebody that actually knows the characters and product in person.
