It was mobbed. I heard there was still a huge line to get in an hour after general admissions opened. The March shows have definitely established a trend of having the most foot traffic. Props to Destro & co. for really growing this thing. As for business, I returned home with more money than I went in with. Which is good. And I went back to the storage unit with seven empty bins. Which is also good. Unfortunately after expenses (which included having to call a locksmith because my dumb ass locked my keys in the rental van), only 3% of the gross was profit. Part of that was by design as I priced a lot of older stuff to move out. But it really makes me question how anyone can do this full time. I didn't get any trade-in tickets until after the second drawing, at which point it was a flood. So much so that I pulled the trade-in flyers before the third raffle was called. There were no custom joes to win this time around and I didn't want to go overboard despite the rather expensive Transformers prizes. That said, I won the Game of Thrones set (which went to my helper) and the Marvel grab bag (which you guys can fight over if you want, Rocket Raccoon #1 & figure, a Spiderwoman 6", some 4" stuff that escapes my exhausted mind right now). I also completed my trade for NJCC Metalhead. I now have them all! Until August... |

Doesn't look like I'll be getting my MP Exhaust from CP...

My MP-23 order shipped first thing this morning. Now to just wait and see if it gets held up in customs. It's going EMS so at least it doesn't have to wade through those damned dockworkers.
White Prime looks damn fine. Stack, not so much. And to answer your text (as I was out cold when you sent it) I have no idea. I looked at mine for a minute and didn't see anything off. But I guess it might be one of those things that once seen can't be unseen. |

Could've been lighting... but it looks like he's smirking. Or grimacing.

The front page image is the first I'm seeing of Alpine. He looks like a Dave Chapelle character.

Welp, got my order in for non-attendee stuff yesterday. Here's hoping the club accepts my order. As far as I can tell nothing is wrong with it, but who can know?
Also, SIX HUNDRED BUCKS for attendee exclusive stuff? Holee crrrrap.

One, FP knows they have some of us by the short hairs. And they seem pretty intent on pushing and pushing and pushing that envelope. Just like pro sports, I don't think they give the slightest of fucks about pricing out normal people with normal incomes, as long as they sell everything. Which brings us to two: I think, deep down, the Grand Poobah just likes being surrounded by rich people. Even if they smell a bit.

All I heard during NJCC was that people were pissed the club just reused the Marlon Wayans head with a hat.
