Crimson Stike Team boxed set, a loose bagged set, 12" Crimson Para, the 2 jetpack figures, the foreign 3 pack of figures that go with the Con set. 2 grey foreign Con FANGs, 2 Con Iron Grenadiers, 1 Iron Anvil, 1 headhunter stormtrooper, 1 Convention Flash, one of those 40th Anniversary multi colored prototype figures, 2 really cherry vintage AT Joes, snagged some movie figures as the Club was having a 2 figs for $10 sale all weekend long Also snagged a few Crimson Copters and some of Sam Petrucci and Larry Selman autographed prints which I plan on having framed. Probably snagged some more stuff but I'm still really tired from driving to KC and back. Was a lot of fun. This is the 2nd Convention I've done as a dealer selling some of my unwanted stuff, which is fine cuz it helps pay for the trip. Unfortunetly it really kills some of the fun factor because your tied down to the booth and ya just can't really go just hang out or skip out for an hour and sit down and have a cup of coffee or a bite to eat. Also go the ComicCon Destro...2 of 'em. And the Convention version of the CC Baroness.

Figure it can't be but maybe 3 hours-ish from Albany. Hasn't been a JoeCon this close since Virginia? that was what 10 years ago I think. Folks have been crying for a JoeCon in the northeast/new england area for ages now. I'll tell ya what, folks don't show up and frankly spend some money, we probably won't get another one. The left coast hasn't had a JoeCon in a long time because Brian hasn't made any money at those. I'm going, not sure if as a dealer, I might just go to have a LOT OF FUN! I'm starting to save money for it starting...now

I regret not buying more blades. The show was great and the sneak preview stuff was kinda cool. I picked up mostly vintage stuff, including an 84 unopened Zartan with swamp skier. I also got most of the night force figs from 88 and 89, there were some pretty good deals out there...met some great people and had a lot of fun.

Thats one of the big reasons I keep trying to make these shows, is the people. Sure there are great deals and stuff you don't see online or anywhere else but at the Con so its totally great, but its the friends I've made online and at these Conventions over the years that really keeps me coming back. Miss some of them already...ah, next year and its so close!

Noticed Scotia/Glennville Walmart has been going through a remodel, poor bastages. I remember 2 of those. Anyway, they have a TON of Joe stuff, some fairly newer stuff. No crimson vipers though, they are picked clean. GIJOE Club was doing 2 figs for $10 at the Con so I did snag some goodies from them Walmart in Cobleskill has started putting out more stuff and they had 16 toy pallets on the floor today as they are in the middle of a reset. New Star Wars and Indiana Jones Legos were out there as well if anyone is interested. I know I love me some Legos from time to time.

My buddy Greg snagged 'em up for me. He gave me a call. Daddy got a Doctor!
Speaking of movie stuff are we ever going to have a Tanker Rise of Cobra movie night? I know it was brought up before JoeCon but I was too distracted with JoeCon coming up. Saw it at JoeCon...at the theatre you can drink beer...was very cool. Planning on seeing it a few more times before it comes out on DVD.
