It's fun to go in there and geek out with a tone of toy lines I haven't seen in years but I can't believe they sell anything. Many of their loose SW and Joe vehicles are in rough shape but the prices are ridiculously high. Why would anyone go there with this little thing called eBay out there?
Many of the items I bought there were less than ebay prices. Plus, I didn't have to pay shipping, I could inspect the items in person, and I didn't have to wait for them in the mail. So it has its upsides.

I will say it was very well organized. Boston Comic Con has struggled with getting people in when the con opens. For only being in it's second year, we were on the convention floor with no problem.
Funny you mention that. At the bag checker, my friend mentioned he only had a sweatshirt and some deodorant in his bag. The check scoffed so I told him it's not a common thing to have con goers care about their personal hygiene. He said many people smelled pretty good. Weird conversation at the time but it's funny you had the same experience.
I never heard of this but after looking it up I want one. I'm heading back today so I'll have to be on the lookout for it. MM Bane needs a friend.
The MaFex batman was the only one I saw at the show. Unless they put out more for today, you are best off buying him online from a place like bbts or wherever he is sold for $40 or less. And I don't know what toy vaults return policy is, but in case something is wrong with it, you'd want a return policy since they do not give you a receipt at the con. Besides, going to the con, you would have to pay for admission and parking. That's too much extra cash to spend on seeing if they might have a figure for $10 less than retail. Just buy him online.
