Well, I guess I would be looking at about $250 for two nights at the hotel, $330(?) for attending, call it $150 for food/entertainment, and at the very least $150 for flight. So, what, a grand? And that is without purchasing anything at the convention.
I am all for meeting some of the fellows here, but wow, a grand? What about you fellows? Benefits outweigh the costs? I bet you could do food for less, depending on if you have a significant other with ya, lol. I know I can eat cheap without the fiancee! |

Not a bad idea.

Good post because I have a ton of questions. I'm going to be going with 2 of my friends. I'm the only one with an interest in the exclusives, but they want to come with me. I have the Officer membership, they do not. What all would I have to purchase to ensure I get the convention set, and admission for myself and my 2 friends (We're not hitting the extra seminars or anything).
Also, how worried should I be about the International Joe set selling out. Do the 3 pack exclusives go quickly in your experience? |

In ATL, the exclusives were pretty much gone by Saturday. In DFW, the exclusives were gone by Sunday. Best advice on the exclusives, buy ALL of them, do not hesitate. You can always sell and AT LEAST make your money back to a buddy or on eBay or even save them for a trade down the road - whatever.....

Thanks. We're planning on leaving Thursday morning but that still wouldn't get there until late Thursday night at best.

BUT. I read that 25% of the Crimson Strike Team sets were already spoken for? Do I automatically get one once I register or do I have to wait until the con? |
