I'll tell you, I've been to all of the Star Wars Celebrations so far, and I can honestly say, there's no comparison.
Just about everyone I talked to this weekend had something kind to say, and even the Civillians seemed interested in what we were doing. I even accomplished room to room trading, something I always heard about but never actually saw proof of at a star wars con. I got to meet so many of 'Tankers... I apologize if I can't remeber everyones name but I'll be doing my best to friend everyone I met. It was just so great, I really want to go next time. I went mainly hoping to get some new stuff, but even though no one had anything "new" I still spent all my money. A big thanks to everyone who cheered for my son who won a prize for his Tunnel Rat costume. He had a great time as well. Sorry for the long post, but I'd love to hear about everyones experiances. Kop's post's were super helpful and informative. Also one other thing to think about. What can the 3 3/4" community do to thank the 12" ers for keeping G.I. Joe alive for so long. I feel if it wasn't for them getting these cons going, we might not have Joe as we know it today. |

This was my first time going to a con. I've got to say it was most excellent. If it's close by next year I will try to go.

My first too. Awesome time. I spent only like 30 mins in the dealer room cause the rest of the time was just hanging with people.
That was your kid in the Tunnel Rat? That costume was awesome.

Went with my brother who isn't a Tanker just on Saturday.
If I still post on this site when I attend another Joe Con, I'm going to go solo just to hang out with fellow Tankers for the entire weekend. I hope the next con is on the east coast. |

It also depends for me if they have the con "early" again. If they have it next June or July, it may be easier for alot of us to save a little cash to fly out to the midwest / west coast.
