I won't be going this year either, but I am going to the Canadian JoeCon this summer. Not sure if I'm driving or flying though. Interested to see how my girlfriend responds to the nerdery, as she's coming with

I'm not going this year. Never been to one of Cons. Maybe if it is in Minneapolis or Chicago

Yeah, I've never been, either. I'd love to go, though.

I'm going to be staying in Brookfield this weekend for an event that my wife is going to. I plan on going to the TJ MAXX, TRU and MARSHALLS(first time I've been to a MARSHALLS). I'm going to look up a Target too but are there any good comic shops/collectible type stores in the Brookfield area? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the info Crosshair. I just go back from my trip to Brookfield. Wife and I had Uno's Pizza which was good and we went to the Dave & Busters by the Mayfair mall. We've been to D&B quite a bit and always have fun there.
We drove to Brookfield on Hwy 41 and went back home on Hwy 43 so I could hit different stores along the way.(my wife is understanding of my habit). I posted the pic on the April Hauls section but I was happy with what I found. Found more stuff outside of the Milwaukee area but I expected that. Here's what I found: 1/18 weapons sets at Gordman's in Appleton, Vamp and Ice Viper at the TJ Maxx in Appleton, RAM/Flight Pod, Rock'n'roll/Deep Six Comic pack and an opened Cobra Bazooka Trooper at the TJ Maxx in Fond Du Lac. Ice Viper and Viper/IG comic pack at the TJ Maxx on 17460 Bluemound in Brookfield. Clone Trooper Jesse and speeder at the Target on Capitol In Milwakee. I did hit a Marshalls on Capitol Driver in Milwaukee. Nice store, looked like it opened recently. I found some 25th figures. They have a very small toy section though. Didn't find anything at TJ Maxx in Milwaukee and Sheboygan. Overall a good trip Last edited by Siegie1129; 04-11-2011 at 01:29 AM.. Reason: Added info |

You found those weapon sets at Gordmans? Wow, that's awesome. I know there's one in Wausau, next time I visit the 'rents I'll have to swing in.

Also, We ran into a Gilles restaurant by accident on Bluemound in Brookfield and had lunch there after my wife's concert. I had one of the best burgers ever there. Wow is all I can say. We have a Gilly's in Green Bay and they are similar but not the same. I'll remember where they are next time I'm in Brookfield. Last edited by Siegie1129; 04-12-2011 at 01:35 AM.. |

Yeah, I was surprised to see them at Gordman's. It is hit or miss at Gordman's. I found some Canadian 25th Joes about a year and a half ago and that is about it. There is a second Gordman's in Appleton that I did not go to. If I get there in the next couple weeks, I can check for the 1/18th weapons set for you if your are interested in any.

I was going to recommend Kopp's for a good burger place, but sounds like you did just fine |

This morning's hunt:
Target (Sun Prairie): - 8x PoC Arctic Destro - 1x PoC Dusty - 1x PoC Doom Cycle - 1x PoC Ghost Hawk - 1x PoC Ice Cutter - 1x PoC AWE Striker - 2x PoC Cobra Deviant WalMart (Sun Prairie): - 10x PoC Arctic Destro - 5x PoC Desert Storm Shadow - 5x PoC Tornado Kick Snake Eyes - 1x PoC Dusty - 2x PoC Firefly - 6x PoC Ice Cutter WalMart (East Madison): - 1x PoC Arctic Destro - 2x PoC Ghost Hawk - 7x RoC Cobra Gunship (at $24.88, no less - seriously???) So, in a nutshell, I found jack shit. If those damn RoC Gunships had been clearance priced, I would have bought two of them (I have a plan to convert them into Iron Grenadier troop transports). I saw all of PoC wave 3 once, on the first day it was reported at HissTank. Nothing since then. Has anyone seen PoC wave 4 in Wisconsin yet? I'm starting to get a bit pissed. |
