Hey Guys,
This will be my first Joe Con ever and I have a few questions, please bear with me on them and if possible no smart ass answers as like I said this is my fiorst and Im trying to get my ducks in a row ahead of time, thanks. -Marine-73 1. When is the parachute drop generally? and is it open to all attendies or just the ones who purchase the early bird packages that get us in on Friday? 2. How many packages can 1 club member register and purchase? mainly I ask as I am a club member and plan on purchasing a package so I can get in friday, but my dad and 2 brothers, whom are not club members are coming and want to go in on friday also, and I will feel like im bailing on them if I leave them behind. 3. Has anyone ever heard of a someone who is not going to be able to go to the show but wants the exclusive box set paying for a members registration package so they could get in on friday and garuantee the "sponser" gets the box set...i.e. a Tanker registers and pays for my dad to get in friday and I will mail them the box set hence win win situation my dad gets to enjoy all the show days and the "sponser" gets the box set. 4.what is the general prices of the exclusive items inside the early bird friday show, I know in bying my $345.00 club con package I get the box set and am allowed to purchase 1 of each additional item, but trying to figure funds to bring. 5. Finally when the club does decide to reveal the figure set will they also reveal all the other figs / vehicles also? |

OK -- I'll give it a try.
1) Friday morning 2) I don't think there is a limit 3) I'm sure there are some Tankers here who would take you up on the offer, especially to get the free con-only vehicle that comes with the set. Of course, it's a matter of trust between you and the buyer 4) Plan on spending another $250-$300 for the con exclusives 5) No. The other figs/vehicles will be revealed at the con Thursday night.

Email last year said a club membership covers con set purchases for family. Don't remember if that covers brothers and such but seems like it did.

Anyone purchasing a Convention Attendee package can buy up to four "Aide" packages. It allows access to all JoeCon events but those people cannot buy any of the exclusive merchandise until the Convention is opened to the public on Saturday.
Here is a link to last year's brochure, look at the part about registered attendee packages on page two or three. http://www.gijoecon.com/no2012/2012brochure.pdf

I'll be honest, I ussually just buy a full package for my wife including boxed and bagged sets. Than sell off the extras to make up part of the trip cost. Than she can buy the exclusives as well and we can get two sets without going the Golden ticket. At least that way we can do the vacation together. Although I pay for extras for my wife like a spa day and her and Duffman's wife did a N'awlins cooking class last year while we were there and we came home Saturday night from the con and our wives had made us homemade pralines. Well worth the investment.

Yeah, it's set up so that you pretty much have to do this, even if the whole resale things seems distasteful. People are happy to pay you (probably even beforehand) for the set package at cost also and that way the other person would be getting in for free.

I just want to know when the GIJCC is gonna reveal the set. JoeCon is less than three months from now.
I wonder if it hadn't been for the Movie, would they have still had JoeCon in April?

Also keep in mind that the Club has stated that costs have pretty much doubled in China, so expect even higher prices this year for exclusives.
