Thanks for the input. Maybe a monthly or biweekly at most would be better. I am going to look into putting something together. Maybe not even have a set day or schedule, just have a meet every so often. I would definately like to start a GIJoe collectors club locally. So if there is anyone interested in joining in the future let me know. The initial meet won't be until the new year anyway. I think I may call it the Halton GIJoe Collectors Club. The first meet will be a Sunday evening in January. Let's say Sunday January 11, 2009. By then I will have more of an idea as to how many interested people there are and what exactly will take place at the meet.

Are there any other GIJoe clubs in the area? Or even in Hamilton, Mississauga, Oakville, Stony Creek.

The Mike - You said there are toy shows happening about one a month. Can you give me some more information on these?

I want to hear evryones idea's about what they would like to see or do at this years Canadin Joe Convention. Whether it is seminars on collecting in general, diorama making, customizing, open forum with various presenters, comic related stuff, buying/selling/trading and so on.

Since this years convention will be my first. I am really looking forward to learning alot more about the finer aspects of collecting GIJoe. I have an idea that I'm currently beginning. I am making a 5 level structure of The Pit. In the GIJoe Yearbook #1 comic it had a diagram of the pit with floorplans for each level. So I'm planning on making one out of wood. The top will have the garages, driveways and grass. It should be pretty cool when done.

As for what I would like to see at the convention how about a seminar on constructing buildings for use in large diorama's. With the class focus on building of the structures not setting up the diorama.

Hey everybody,
Does anyone know where I can buy some small star cases or such for loose figures? I want to buy a few hundred and stock up. If anyone would be interested in doing a group buy, let's say 1000-2000, let me know. If we get that many they would probably be pretty cheap.

Cheers,

Anyone coming from far out of town and ending up in Toronto, whether you fly, bus, or train. Once you get to Toronto you want to go to Union Station and take the GO train to Burlington. Then transfer to a GO bus to Hamilton. With the cost of flying right now it would be worth it to fly. Westjet is even waiving the fuel surcharges.

Cheers, Mike
