someone said something about a patch, any chance of a photo, please?

The Coyote patch was in the Con Set, the other patch was given as you came in to the Con.

Shark, if you didn't know this, I'll save you the pain of Atari joystick blisters.  Sega Genesis controllers have the same pin configuration as Atari joysticks.  They work too; the d-pad is of course the stick and the B button = Fire button.  Makes controlling your Atari easier, more responsive, & less painful!

I got the con set too, of course, twice in fact. Will probably sell back one to a friend, not sure tough.

In addition to about a hundred cheap (mostly weaponless) cobra soldiers of various types to boost my legions, (including 4 Cobra-La Royal Guards, which is cool because a guard of one was pathetic!) I also got nice prices on convention soldiers, notably 5 Skull Squad Soldiers at 10$ each.

Especially pleasing to me was finding the comic 3 pack including Colonel Breakhov that l;ooks like himself and not just a repainted Red Star. Now, I need only find the pack with Horror Show and Stormavik, I'll have at least one version of everyone on the team. I'll only need the original Red Star and the black Big bear for a complete collection. I just hope they get some vehicules someday.

The Crimson Command Copter at 10$ was a nice find too. Sligthly damaged, but I can deal with it, and I already had Tomax and Xamot in pilot versions.

It was also good to find the black version of Cobra Commander with his podium at a reasonable price. Would have prefered the other one, but it's good.

Of particular interest was a customised comic 3 pack. It features Destro and Cobra Commander in the civilian disguises they put on in the Marvel comics when escaping from a failed assault on the G.I.Joe pit. (issue 55, the one included in the pack, nice touch!) Very well done, with pieces presumably sculpted by the creator, such as Destro's hat, and closed back with great skill (you'd swear this was never opened!) If it wasn't that the filecards in the back are completely irrelevant (red ninja vipers, etc) you could probably fool someone who didn't know that such figures don't exist that it's a real pack.  I'll try to get a webcam and post a picture, I think it's worth a look.

If the one who created that is reading this, I think it's pure genius! I love it!

Only regrets:
I managed to lose my convention patch, along with my first raffle ticket. i hope it didn,t get drawn while lying under a table or something.

There was a table with a box full of pack-rats. I always wanted those, and I wanted to inquire on the price, but there never was anyone at that table! And I came back many times. Those guys are lucky I'm no thief! In the end, I never knew the price and didn't get any.

Too bad that guy with the brazilian figures didn't get back this year. Maybe he would have decided on prices for his items by now, and maybe (ok, wishful thinking here) it would have been something I would have found acceptable to pay.

Overall, a good haul, but it pales in comparison to last year, where I found numerous unique cobra characters I didn't have. Now I only found Steel Cobra and didn't even get it.  I guess I have to leave some finds for the next years!

WOW! Awesome haul. I love that I can get some cheap army builders. I only got one original Cobra soldier this year, but last year I grabbed Eels, Snow Serpents, SeiGees and Vipers on the cheap. I agree about Royal Guards. I don't like them much, but I had to have at least 3 or 4 or it seemed pointless.
