I think you were the only one I knew of. You should post on the FB page about your experience. I think a lot of guys would love to hear about it.

I saw TRU.com had them this morning, but didn't pull the trigger due to unsure of current budget...now they are all gone. :( Here's hoping more will surface!!

I'm really looking forward to this! I had a lot of fun at the last one. I met a lot of cool people, and picked up some great toys.

I'm planning on revealing some new custom projects I've been working on including a greatly expanded Tiger Force team, and a special unrevealed SkyStriker Custom

My days off at work just changed from Sun-Mon to Fri-Sat so I might be able to come. I have never been to anything like it before so I have no idea what to expect!

Also, I was lucky enough to get two of the Shock Troopers from TRU.com, I used the gift cards I got from buying some Retaliation stuff a few weeks back so they didnt cost me anything! I was pretty happy about it as I only ever saw one in the store originally!

I'm excited to see this.

It'll be great to see you! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at what you'll find.

I saw one another thread that Targets were going to start clearancing out the Retaliation toys. Has anyone seen this around here?
