Stuck a bug in the ear on the Yo Joe site, to hopefully increase bids.

Wicked! Thanks for the shout-outs to all my sites!
Hope it generates a lot of bids towards the next Joe Can meet.

I see there are already having issues with the non-hasbro sanctioned joe. They deleted the link.

Ya  I noticed.

I know  that  there can be some legal issues  over  stuff   but it would  seem to me  that   yojoe  is coming  down  on this  ( and  other  things )  heavy handed.  

Its  become  a  lot  less fun   to go there  any more.

Well that shocked me.

It's at $61.00 already and it hasn't even been a day yet?

Damn.

I wonder how many people saw the thread on yojoe.

They asked me to change my 'signature' because it linked directly to the auction - so I have.

Wow really? And yet they'll still allow repro stickers. The double standards that infest that place are why I've alwys had issues with their message boards. Unreal.

Anyway, glad to see the figure is doing so well. I'm watching it to see how high it might go myself.

Oh, is it too late to get a corrected filecard, Mike? I forgot about that until I was checking out the figure again the other day.

Your kidding me, Hbro is getting all hyper over your custom figure auction because it's not officially made by them? Give me a break, like 1 custom figure is going to hurt their bottom line. I could go off on a rant here but we all know where that is going to go...

I'm not at all worried about it. I just remembered the offer and wasn't sure if they'd come and gone or not. Not a big deal by any stretch of the imagination.


As for the figure, Maple viper, it has nothing to do with Hasbro but YoJoe itself. As you can see they'll still allow certain "illegal" items, but only the ones that they deem not illegal enough.  :roll:

Of course, all the publicity from Airtight and General Hawk must've helped.  :lol:

I wouldn't sell mine for that price. I just wish I had some Snow Serpents for him to lead.

It covers just over half of the room rental.
Which is good. Now let's all cross our fingers and hope it passes the 300.00 mark so we can have the 'big' room!

Can't wait for next year's figure idea.

Thanks for the support guys. I truly am happy with my purchase, as I feel that the Black Ice figure is easily the best Convention piece Ive ever seen. Im happy to help fund the next Joe Meet you guys have, but am not sure how much it would cost to travel to Canada for a Con....BUT, please do keep me in mind as an "At Home" participant. Id gladly help again next year for the next exclusive. Thanks again, and Im excited to get him in the mail. He is definately in a good home.

I just got back from the west coast from a two work day trip (I am really sick of flying out to Vancouver).  The cost of the ticket was 806 CAN or about 750 US.  I suspect it would cost in the same ballpark to fly out from SD.

And I told you so the figure was going out to the west coast.   As for the price paid, I must have jetlag.

OH! I've seen this one on ebay! It's been there for MONTHS, with a 100$ BIN, and labeled the "rarest Joe ever" (50 made)! That auction always gets a chuckle from me because he's just a slightly repainted v2 Surefire with a hat and some BBI guns. Even at only 50 made, that isn't really worth more than 15-20$, IMO; especially since I can just get a Sure Fire for something between two and five dollars, repaint him myself and get the exact same result.

Oh yes!  The Black Ice figure is cool, but meeting all of you guys is an experience I'll never forget!  In fact I hope to be able to return next year, and I'm already saving the cash to do so!  

I was just pointing out that you can attend the meet for less than what Dryhawk paid for the figure alone.  It's like how the "official" con where the attending and non-attending packages are the same price.  The attending is a MUCH better return on investment!
