Ummm.... Why did you do that? What I mean was that Florida people on this board were all over the place. If you wanted to meet up, you should have coordinated something. 45 after the sales room closed on Saturday is when everyone goes back to their room to rest before the casino dinner. So I don't imagine too many people were there. What you really need to do is make the next Florida meet we have, whenever that is. You will meet people and trade for sure.

Awsome! I was hoping he'd still be there for you.
Okay I have a preaty cool JoeCon story Im gonna share. So I get there on Saturday at around 11:00, The only thing I really want is a Phantom X-19. I mean I had about 400 bucks to spend but all I REALLY want is the X-19. I walk around the floor 3 times and scout only 3 left. 1 is basically just a shell, one is complete for $90 and one is completeish for $35. I go to the big ass booth in the middle were they had a bunch of vintage figures clipped with tacks to a few cork boards, I ask the guy if I can look at it. Its right wing drops out every time you tilt it, the landing gear tab is broken and the nose cone was stolen so they let it go for 30 bucks. I walk around desperetly asking all vendors if they have parts for it. I find a new wing cover and gun for the right side but no nose cone. So I have my X-19 but it needs work. Well today Im cleaning it, washing off the dust when I realize the landing gear tab is not broken, its just stuck, a little wiggle of the front wheels and its out without a problem. The right wing and gun I got for 3 bucks now fit perfectly and slide in and out like new. and while tilting it side to side to see that the new wing holds in place I hear something bouncing around inside the plane. I thought it was a screw or piece of plastic that broke and was bouncing around in there. Nope! its the rubber nose cone! it wassnt stolen, it was inside the plane under the pilots seat where the legs tuck into. I got a complete 100% full working Phantom X-19 for 30 bucks!!!! WOOT. here are pics of my Joecon haul.

I picked up mine before the showroom opened from the old guy near the front with all the parts and the Sky Raven. Nice score and Chris's booth had the best prices! What did the Condor run you?

The Condor was 60 bucks and its complete. I ordered new sticker for it cause the ones it has are worn out bad.

I am surprised you didn't snag a Condor at Chris's booth, they had 3 with boxes if I remember correctly. Not a bad deal as yours looks pretty clean and that X-19 looks mad clean man. I am happy with all my purchases and free stuff. Worked out great and I finally got a MCC.

Preordered Wave 5 and 6 of POC so if anyone wants any of the extras, lmk and when they come in they will be yours at the cost I paid not over inflated ebay costs. They come with 12 in a case but if they have the variants in the case, I will keep the regular fig and the variant of that fig. The rest is up for grabs.
