Hello all,
Rick K. - Michigan.
Long time action figure collector - Star Wars, He-Man, GI Joes, Hot Wheels ect ect ect.. my collection spans the upside of 12 years - with everytype of figure you can think of.. anything vintage definitly has my attention.
My current figure batches that I am collecting some star wars, halo, and Gi Joe - I am trying to slowly piece together vintage off the wall toys that I had as a kid - Madballs, Silver Hawks stuff of that nature.
I am interested in exclusives and definitly foriegn figures on different cards or figures that are exclusive to a different country (tri-logo star wars, blank card joes, karman masked rider hotwheels from japan)
** On a side note **
I want to apologize if anyone took my offer to bring target exclusive vehicles as a threat against the dealers. Please allow me to fill in some backstory for a lot of people that did not get the full picture of how this all really went down originally:
I really just found out that I was going to be able to get the amount of vehicles that I did in the past probably 4-5 days.. I contacted Mike outside of the site via email asking if I could have a list of the dealers that would be at the show - as to offer the vehicles to the dealers only so that I would not be stepping onto toes. At first I had intentions on making the entire show - due to some restrictions - I wasnt going to be there - and asked mike to let me sell them directly to the dealers so that they could resell them.
Understandably - for privacy reasons he declined to give out the information stating that at first it would be ok to bring the vehicles.. to possibly trade.. I started making a few post letting people know that where asking that I would be bringing the cases and that I would sell them.
The post got pulled because they where in the wrong forum - that is fine - mike said hey look I dont want any issues at my show - please dont sell the cases at the show - but if you get rid of them in the parking lot I cant stop you.
Again I agree and understand - I didnt want any of this to go sideways thus the reason I had tried to do it low profile outside of the forums. I told mike I dont want anyone upset - I just wanted to supply the dealers with the vehicles and offer them up knowing you guys cant get them.
We where all cool - and then somewhere something got read wrong and someone got upset..
I apologize - I really do.. I did NOT want this to get blown up like I was trying to get past the meet rules. I just did not know I was going to come into all the cases and at that time was unable to dedicate the full show time..
I TRUELY ment to get a hold of the dealers and put the vehicles into their hands so that they could have re-sold them.. I did not want to do it this way.. but at the same time I really dont want to get stuck with these cases now that I bought them - and since I was going to drive 10hours round trip to check out the show and do some shopping I figured it would have been nice to supply the show with the target exclusives in as much of a proper way as possible.
Again - if I offened anyone or if it looked like I was trying to NOT pay for a table - that is and was NOT the case.. I really wanted to give these to the dealers outside of the show so they could resell them!
Guys forgive me.. I just want to hang out - buy joes.. and have a good time like everyone else!
- Rick K.
