I had a really good time! Thanks a lot for putting on this event, we could see that you worked really hard on it! I am fully enjoying my Hate tank! I grabbed a couple of Target planes and a Resolute 5 pack while I was there. I really enjoyed talking to the Hasbro rep. (What was his name anyways?) I didn't get the chance to talk to Mark Bellomo and I wish that I had bought a copy of his book but I had to leave early. Did he leave any copies with you? Sorry I didn't get the chance to talk to you guys more! I will definitely be seeing you next year!

Thanks a ton! I had a great time again this year. I met a few more guys in person and bought a few things but didn't spend to much money this time around. I won the SDCC Combat Heros Snake Eyes and Timber 2 pack (but man, I WISH I had won the box of meat! I would have snapped that up in a second). Can't wait to do it all again next year  |

I had a great time at the con. This has been my first G.I Joe convention and first ever convention that I have been too. I missed out on the exclusives, but am happy with my Resolute Cobra Commander, Resolute Duke, Resolute 5 pack, (Loose) vintage Beachhead and Shipwreck, Firebat and finally my signed copy of AWOL'D LEEVES ( Thanks Jason! ). I left at around 3:30 and missed out on who won the Cobra Terror Drome and the G.I Joe: Rise Of Cobra tickets, does anyone know who won them? P.S That new Viper the Hasbro represenative showed on the Q & A was awesome! -EVAN |

Many, many, many thanks to all those who helped organize the show. It is always a pleasure to meet people from the board. I wish I could have stayed the whole day. Always next year.

A great day out. I was selling but got to enjoy a bit of the festivities. Mark Bellomo was great to chat with and also the nice Hasbro lady  . The Marauder folks were super cool giving away a free weapon with each purchase...amazing quality accessories. Picked up an exclusive, a couple of 12" repros, a foot locker, some comics, a bootleg, a prototype and a figure I'm not supposed to have yet  . Managed to sell enough to cover my purchases too!...always helps. Great meeting some of the members of this board and some civilians too. Thanks to TheMike and the JoeCanuck team for a fine show. The Convention Centre seemed like a nice facility for the event. Two thumbs up. |

I was lucky, I almost got in an accident going home zoning out (30 something hours no sleep), luckily my friend snapped me out of it before I rear ended some car.

Definitly a great time!! Seeing Shipwreck with Polly on his shoulder taking pictures with the kids was cool in and of itself. The movie figures looked great. Missed out on the con set, but got an Ultimate battle pack for 75 bones, awesome! Even the missus had a good time (I took her to Ikea afterwards. Spent too much money there too.).
Thanks again for showing that us Canadians are as rabid for our passions as anyone else
