This will be my first Con but its still 5 hrs away, so I am hoping that I can find some deals to make it worth the trip. It is hard to value figures after being able to get em at rock bottom prices, there was one local comic/toy con I went to that the main guy that would host it sold is figures for a buck!! It was a bunch of obscure ARAH but I made an offer of $40 for 50 joes and he took it!! Depending on how difficult it is to find a certain figure it directly correlates the value I attach to it. The most I've paid for figure is the POC firefly, my favorite version (the one that has camo, like a comma on his forehead) for $9 off of eBay.
Yeah. Last year was the first Joecon I had ever been to, and my wife even enjoyed it enough where if this year would have been closer, we would have went again. It kinda ruined other toy shows for me though, as I have a hard time buying a lot of older joes now knowing that I could have bought the same figure less than a year ago and bought it for less. I hope 2015 is in the NE again so I can make it.
My friend that is some choice intel. I appreciate you getting word back to me. I got very high hopes for some killer deals. I know there are no guarantees but a guy can dream. Thanks for sharing. I hope to make some excellent memories there this year.
There were a couple, but the guy I bought most of mine from had more than the others combined. He had like two big tables full of bins.
He also had complete figures in plastic containers $8 a piece or 3/$20. I got all of the BF2000 except Dodger, all three slaugjter's Marauders, ambush, backblast, metal-head, darklon, Toxo-viper, and several other figures that I can't remember offhand that way. As much as he had, he probably attends every year, although I don't know that for sure.
You responded on a thread about cracked elbows, that at last years JoeCon you scored some figures from a guy that was selling them for (3)-$5. I'm planning on attending 2014 JoeCon and the price range I usually score figures for is about that too, was there more vendors selling loose figures for that price than just that one guy? Just curious if I should get my hopes up.
