Hey ylw, are you looking to trade Cost wise (2 Twin Terrors for a VAMP) or item wise (1 Twin Terror/1 VAMP)?

Cost wise, otherwise not too fair. Only have a twin, but also have a pod and a ram

On to lighter subjects:
I know JoeCon is next weekend, but I was curious if any FL tankers are going to MegaCON in Orlando this weekend? Last year I recall meeting fellow tanker Mutt7000 and his boy. I plan on being there this Sunday 03/27 from mid-morning until mid-afternoon. If anyone is not too shy and wants to say hello / chat and meet a fellow south FL tanker give me a holler. I plan on taking pics again and posting people with JOE-related outfits like I did last year (and possibly other freaks too). ;->

OMG Megacon! Let's talk about megancon! Worst faking con ever! I went last year with my friend, we dressed up as Salem and rios from army of two. 3 guys knew who we where! No videogame coverage, no comic book coverage, no scifi overtone! It's strickly ANIME and steampunk! Oh and what is up with the homosexual overtone? I live in south Miami and I'd never seen so many men in drag! Seriously. Megacon SUX! Come see me at supercon in July. Now that's a frigging con worth my clean underwear! /rant]

Megacon was fun, that was my first one and well worth it! Scored some Joe goodies in the process.
I am selling some more of my collection to include some really mint Battle Force 2000 carded figs. Check out my auctions in my sig.

This was my 14th year of MegaCon, and by far it was the worst showing. I bought some neat pieces of original art by lesser known artists, but not a single toy or comic. I spent more at Target, lol.
And, I almost accidentally killed Stan Lee. Some MegaCon security guy was hustling Stan through the crowd and basically body-checked me almost over a table. So I stood back up and put myself in a position so the next person that tried would bounce off of me. Didn't know he was escorting Stan Lee, and that Stan was the guy behind him.... I apologized for nearly laying him out, and he was very gracious about it. The State Trooper behind him didn't seem too pleased, though, lol. |

I liked the Megacon but I am into Anime and Japanese stuff so it was fine for me. Being my first, I enjoyed it. Saw Lou Ferrigno lol I bought some wall scrolls and posters. The dealers room is massive. I hope Joecon's dealer room is big.
Next year I plan to setup a vender booth with a ton of Japanese drinks and food, stuff you can't get here, not like that gay booth at this Megacon that had Pocky and items you can get at your local asian store lol I will sell really good Japanese drinks like Mitsuya Cider and Max Coffee.

1) Still a lot of costumes but it did not seem as much as last couple of years. Even fewer JOE related costumes for sure. 2) I did some real damage on the main point: comic books. scored some vintage and recent back issues for great prices. 3) I got signed autographs from Michael Dorn (i.e. Lt. Worf from TNG) and from Stan Lee (which to me, is priceless). 4) I also met Gil Gerard (Buck Rogers), Jonathan Frakes (Cpt William T. Riker- TNG), and Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi - TNG). I find it funny how everyone has the same reaction when they see these aging actors -"OMG look how old they are!" - everyone ages and gets old and DIES. It is a fact of life. 5) The GI JOE pickings were very very slim - there were a couple of merchants selling 25th stuff, and nothing new. There was one or two merchants that had a ton of loose vintage 80's Joes in plastic bags. I didn't bother. In this aspect, I agree that this show is mostly useless if you are hunting for Joes stuff. I'll post some the "choice" pics I took yesterday a little later today.

Come out to supercon and tell me if it's not 3 times the badassery that megacon is supposed to be.
On a lighter note I'm not even packed for Joe con yet. I'll be there on Saturday, solo op this year.

I would go to Supercon but the first day of it I am returning from the Philippines and have to go back to work a day later. Maybe next year.
