Tying up a few things and then I'm closing this thread.
Colin ends up with three figures this way:
His, Blakes, and his mothers.
Now.... I'm sure his mother is a die hard collector.... (who just happens to sell rare stuff on ebay), but Blake handed his figure over to Colin the minute he got it - right in front of us.... Added to that, Blake said "Oh, it's got MY name on it".... Colin said that was Ok. and took it.
So he has 2 anyway.... his mother most likely has the third - I should of been more clear on it - sorry.
How did his mother get one.... well.... Pete The Greek and I discussed it and since her son and his friend were flying up from Texas we decided that if she 'really' wanted one then she could have one - ONLY based on the two guys flying up. Originally she was going to attend with a friend of hers... but she let her son and his friend fly up instead.... so it seemed fitting that she should be allowed to have one.
You didn't get one Spillspleen mainly due to the fact that I had 'verbally' been told that others were coming and that they wanted a figure - so obviously those who attended got one first. As it would be, they were sold out when Radio Guy registered.... so he never got one - or should I say Aire got his instead?....
Ken, as I said on this post and to your face, no one 'really' blames you man... we all would of done the same thing. Hell, I've closed up the store just because my nephew got hurt at school...... so yes, in any way, shape, or form, family should always come first. If it doesn't, then you need to give your head a shake.
Loop, I spoke out of anger due to what Colin said about me.... There WILL be another Joe Meet.... not sure when.... but there will.
Except this time we're going to have a freakin' HUGE list of 'rules' just in case of any circumstances that shoudl arise.... Hell, I plan for all types of problems in advance for my store and site - and I have set rules for what to do (in case I'm not here that is), I should of had the same rules for the meet.
The meet is done, I think it's safe to say that pretty much everyone had a good time at it, the good things of the night outweighted the one bad thing of the night. And it's done. I still haven't heard from Colin.... so I'm a tad confused on what's going on with the promise I made him to make one for him..... I'm actually hoping I don't hear from him.... is that wrong?
Anyway, consider this thread locked.... I'll delete it in a few days when I see people have had a chance to 'finish up'. Colin, if you're reading this, feel free to email me or PM me about your MOC version that I agreed to.
