That was actually one of the features, hook ups. The unsuccessful artists parents met at the first trek con. Another couple met at a con the year before and the dude proposed
to her while on the mic to Kevin Smith at the next con a year later. So, you guys go pick up baroness cosplayers there?

From you guys of course! That's the way it goes here.
The original run was available at the stores when I was kid, though it seemed to stop after Eco Warriors. Now, for some reason, our retailers, even Toys R Us, don't stock them at all. (However, spy troops did make an appearance for some reason...) One guy has taken it upon himself to become like an independent dealer here, he hooks me up a lot. Just got the BBTS Dreadnok pack from him. Most of my stuff comes from the bay, used to buy on YoJoe and on Smalljoes too. I see Guru-Planet is crossed out on your sig, may I ask the story behind that?

Yeah, it does suck, I like making deals online and
making friends through that, but those shipping times can be agony. Can't complain though, I'm actually starting my collection again from scratch. Had a really big collection before, but sold it around 2009/2010 to help pay for my wedding. Which it did, thanks Joes! But I really miss some of those pieces...(Original Night Raven being one of them...sigh)

Definitely, I watch the exchange rate quite closely.
Fortunately, with freelancing I get paid in dollars which is fantastic. But it will be a while before I can spend on the big vehicles... Gotta get me a pit!! As far as freelancing goes, giving Boas helmet one more go before I chuck him in the frigging microwave.

I got burned by Guru, one of my first deals...ironically
it was for a Big Boa. (Arrived with his face broken off!) Smalljoes have always treated me well. Always some drama with them on the yojoe forums, but I've never had a problem.
