Anyone who didn't see the post, Tampa Comic Con is This sunday from 10am to 4pm $5.00 free parking 4500 W Cypress St. Lois off 275.... I'd say their will be about 90 stores set up. Anyone who is looking for some joes should probably check this out. 5 bucks is well worth it.

Off topic I guess but with no Joes to buy, I've been buying those $3 Maisto Tailwinds die cast airplanes at WM. Some are shit but others, once your cut off the crap plastic landing gear and oversized missiles they make for some cool display pieces. I like military stuff as well and they have some oddball planes that I've never seen anywhere else. Heck they even have a little stand. I worked on a P-38 lightning today, came out really nice.
The Model Power planes they used to sell at Hobby Lobby were way better and Only $15ish. I have a few of those, pretty much solid metal, my B-29 broke the plastic stand. A couple of years ago WM carried CORGI stuff and I happen to chance a whole bunch of CORGI planes on clearance. If you are interested I will take pics and I will sell them as a lot. PM me.

What's up people!?!?!
Just an FYI.... TAMPA-CON is coming on Sunday, November 13th to the Double-Tree resort on Cypress Ave in Tampa. It starts at 10 AM and goes till 4 PM. That's perfect time for anyone making a day-trip out of it. It used to be in Tampa before and they moved it for a while to St Petersburg. I'm so glad its back. Many vendors set up (over 90 tables) and sell all around the showroom. There are actors & comic artists as celebrity guests and it is finally growing. Next year they are expanding it to a 2-day convention and will begin to include panels. Junior and I are doing 2 tables filled with all the awesome toys and collectibles your happy little hearts could desire. GI Joes, Star Wars, Transformers and more. This will include vintage and new. I am finally pulling items out of my Batcave for the public to purchase. Let me know if you are coming and if there is anything in particular you are looking for. I hope to see you there.

Yea, I have been buying those too. They are good. Also check out TRU who has reused molds of the Tailwinds. They are more expensive though. I think they were titled Hero Force or something like that. Anyways, they had 2 scales. The normal die cast like Tailwinds, but now they have a newer scale that is about 15% smaller. I wish they didn't go cheap. Now they don't really match the others. I also get some of the matchbox version (forgot the name), Check em out. Oh...and yes...I cut off the crappy landing gear too.
One of my other beefs with Tailwinds is how some aircraft have no markings whatsoever, no national insignia, nothing. I saw the all white Japanese Zero today and the ME-262. Another is how some landing gear mount through the fuselage making removal easy but some have these goofy molded metal "boxes" around them. For lack of a better way to explain it. I know that these are toys and are under $4 but I can still bitch dammit! Anyhow, it's very cool to see I'm not the only one who collects these little guys!

I've been to almost all of them over the last 6 years, and in my experience if you're going JUST for Joes, than you'll be really disappointed. I would say overall it's primarily a comic buying experience, with a variety of random toys mixed in. Not to say I've never found any Joes there, cause I've actually found several over the years, just that its been super hit or miss. There have been times when I've literally not seen 1 Joe there, and others where I've found a lot.
