I will be attending the con this year (my first ever). For those of you that have been to one before, I have a few questions that I hope you can answer.
1. What is the limit placed on buying the con vehicles, 2 pack, and 3 pack? 2. When do these usually sell out? 3. When is the parachute drop (what day), and how does it work? I heard a rumor that only kids are allowed to get the figures after they are dropped. Also, how many are dropped? If adults are allowed to get them how hard is it to get one? 4. Is there anything in particular that you would reccomend doing that a newcomer might not consider? 5. Do vendors usually have past con items? I am particularly looking for Annihilator 3 pack and Televiper parachute figure. Thanks in advance! I am really looking forward to meeting fellow collectors and adding to my collection. |

4. Get there a day early and take one of the tours or just see the town.
5. Con stuff at Con is usually just like eBay prices. |

The last couple of years most stuff was completely sold out by Sunday. 3. The drops typically are Friday. No drop has been confirmed for this year, so anything I put here is speculation. In the past, you sign up to throw. After the throw is complete, the kids get a head start on the adults, then the adults will get a chance to pick them up. Later extras are available in the club store. IMO there is enough extras for anyone who wants one. 4. What day are you coming in? 5. Yes, the vendors have all sorts of items from shows past, but you will be paying a premium.

When they do the parachute drop, they number they drop is usually 300. I have participated in the drop a number of times doing the actual dropping. They get 50-60 people to drop 5-6 figures each.
