I checked out the River City Con this morning and it was pretty good, especially for Arkansas. I noticed the guy from the Hot Springs flea market was there and had some joe stuff. I looked thru it for a while, but once I realized who he was I figured he would be too pricey for me. I also found a Skystriker at the Target in Bryant.

Side note for the Skystirker: for those who have one, did you notice on the back of the box in the lower left side, Hasbro used parts from the Terror Drome as details on the deck of the Flagg? They used an interior wall and a fuel station painted gray. I thought this was interesting.

I didn't dress up at the con. After I got done screwing around shopping and getting mitch to sign some captain americas, I went outside to the car and my snake hood had melted. It layed back over the helmet but its all wrinkly. The hell of it is that I sat there with my wife's hairdryer trying to get it to lay down on purpose when I made it. It kept springing back to its original shape on me. I think I can fix it by leaving it in the car today with the face opened so the thing lays down on the helmet itself and hopefully smooths out. if not, I will be buying a new face shield and redoing it. We'll see. it was 100 outside the car and that is the only thing that got screwed up.
After that we hit hot springs and the central flea market on a whim, since we had time to kill before the traveler game. I bought 2 joes from the guy in the corner--most of his "joes" are corps figures now, and I found out that the guy with joes and nintendo games and what not is moving back in, next to the guy with the knives back by the bathrooms. I also picked up Parasite Eve 2 for $3. I gotta disc dr it and test it but that should be an easy $40+ flip. It was in some random shop in there run by a hispanic guy. Also hit the two walmarts and all your POC vipers are belong to me now. I only needed 4, but couldn't remember for sure so I snagged all 7. The flea market guy at the show missed out on some sales to me because of the price situation. "how much are these?" --"Starts at $1 and goes up." Why the hell would I waste my time looking through all those accessories when I don't have a firm price? No thanks. Then one guy had a complete run of joe 1-155 for $250, but a lot of the early books were not in the best shape. He had extras of some. I asked him the price and he busted out the book--OMG whose store is it yours or the guy that wrote that book--and told me he'd take $100 for the ones I picked out. Dude. No. I can get those except 1 and 155 for a few bucks each at joe con or eBay. The guy from Ft Smith was cool. He sold me 5 captain americas for $7.50 for mitch to sign, and I would have bought the sketch cover one for $5 if mitch hadn't been charging $50 to do it. I've never seen that guy's work. I'll have to check out the caps I bought and then make a decision. If he draws like Brandon "howd that guy get a job in gi joe comics" Badeaux or that augustin padilla guy (I think he's the one)---I'll have to pass.

Yeah. He was along the wall at the front of the show. 1/2 comics. He's about the only one who brought some new stuff. I didn't bother trying to get some mitch and elizabeth stuff here because I figured everyone would have it at the show. Wrong. Luckily, this guy had the exact comic I was looking for because mitch didn't even have it on his table.

The guy from Hot Springs is way overpriced anyway. He is into Star Wars and stopped carrying Joes.

Wynne Walmart had nothing at all. I picked up an Alley Viper and Skydive at Forrest City WM, the only ones left there are a few Blowtorches and Storm Shadows.

I made that drive a couple weeks ago. Very dissappointing. I think they had tripwires at freds too so that was a waste. One of those two FC or Wynne has python officers, though. like a dozen of them.

Anyone interested in a Joe Headquarters Command Center almost complete needs some small replacement parts (there all there some are broken), comes with an, A.W.E. Striker only missing the little hose, and the wheels are bowed out alittle.
Asking $75
