Can anyone offer advise as to what to do about the Con? I am going for sure but I wasn't planning to buy the exclusive set. In another thread I thought I read something about getting better access to everything if you buy the figure set. What's the deal here? I have never been before and I'm confused how it works. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

Here this post might help:

*appears in a puff of smoke*
5 Joecons and counting 1) Hotel money: 135 -140 a night depending on what hotel package you get, which works out to about 450 for the weekend. But split it with friends, or crash with a group, it can be reduced to 145 for the whole weekend, or as low as 80 bucks for a bunch of ridiculous crazed party people who don't care where they sleep. tip: while booking, do not be afraid of asking about perks. In Rhode Island I got free Internet and 16 dollar a day parking, and 145 a night rat (WITHOUT THE CLUB RATE) something that the hotel really wont volunteer to you. so DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK! 2) food money: I recommend 200. but ONLY because its Disney. if we can find a fast food spot (or a pizza place that delivers to disney) we can cut corners. tip: if someone makes a beer run to a Liquor store INSTEAD of going to a bar, we can also shave off some money. 3) Shopping loot: there is no real limit to this. I have brought as much as 1000 bucks to the 07 Atlanta con. however, I did the 09 Kansas City con for 400 bucks... THE WHOLE THING! breaking it down Con set 185 bagged 285 boxed (officer) 340 (non member) 200 minimum for small items, customizing parts and accessories 500 minimum for Vehicles, and complete figures. 1000 if you plan on buying past sets, rare items, or large items. 4) activities WEDNESDAY/ THURSDAY Pre con tours = 75 bucks usually a tour of an attraction in the surrounding area... tHURSDAY Pre Con Customizing class = 75 bucks this is a Hasbro sponsored customizing class with Richard Woodhouse and/ or other Hasbro figure sculptors. after registration dinner usually a bunch of us get together at a nearby restaurant for a big dinner, Its loads of fun. and non "denominational" so it isnt limited to "tankers" Joecustoms" or whatever. its just a bunch of joe fans hanging out. After Hours Activities (every Night) hanging out in Joebro's rooms shooting the breeze hanging out int he lobby engaging in geeky conversations finding a nearby bar and drinking common sense away finding a strip club where we... um... well dammit you NEED to Go! Friday/ Saturday/ SUnday Seminars - info on upcoming Joe product, info on Past lines, Presentations By current and former employees of Hasbro, info on upcomming Movies, cartoons and other multimedia Friday - parachute drop after the fiasco in Kansas city, the parachute drop was cancelled... for adults (this year's was all kids) however, some diehard joecon vets have been keeping it alive... Friday Night - Movie night viewing on Fanfilms Saturday evening - Casino Night and awards dinner Not sure if we're gambling this year, but its a big dinner, and awards cerimony on those who submit artwork, fanfilms, customs, and dios, BINGO RULES! Saturday Night Crappy Figure Brigade meeting hangout where we get together and "Honor" the worse of joe.... ... and we usually drink a lot and have ridiculous fun. Sunday Drawing for free Joecon trip this includes flight and accomidations for the following year's joecon. but you have to be present to win (so for those who leave early on sunday you usually miss out) also: Shockval is the guy to hang with when drinking, but Fran and Uncleneat are the guy to hang out with at a Strip club. YOU MUST HANG WITH KUUKUUSAN AT ALL TIMES! Lody Is that "down for whateva" guy to have in your crew! ROSHAN AND GYRE VIPER ARE THE MENS! if you want to have a great time, be: - in the lobby between 8pm and 4 am - hanging in one of the Joecon Vet's rooms after hours. - drink water, and bring aspirin and multivitamin pills.. they will be your friend. be able to function on 2-4 hours of sleep a day. |
