well looks like it'll be July 23rd as thats the only weekend that Otto will be around for that he isn't busy with family. The thing about a group hunt and army builders would be to be kind and share with the rest of the group... say if only two people wanted it then you'd split the say 4 between the 2 of you or if there's a extra then the oldest gets it.. lol Right now the only army builders around are the new revision wave with the Shock Troops and Alleys. But trying to get the store mgr nearest me to order a bunch in for that date. Hopefully none revision waves. In the area I was thinking are a Ross', Toys R Us, Target, Burlington Coat Factory, comic shop with occasional Joe items for sale and within 2 miles is another couple of Ross', TJ Maxx, Target, Big Lots, 2 super Walmarts that both stock Joes. But those that don't want to go shopping don't have to. The whole point is a meet and greet type of thing and maybe bring some stuff that you want to trade/sell. If you want to go alone shopping then you can ask for directions.

Yeah I can see what you mean.

I have an art class in the morning on July 23rd, so I wouldn't be able to go unless you guys would want to have the meet at like 2:00 in the afternoon. Could we do it on Sunday the 24th? I'm free on that day.

Well, it's that time of year again. I'm heading to SDCC again this year. As always, a vendor friend provides me with tickets which allows me to purchase multiples exclusives at Hasbro and Mattel.

Is anyone interested in purchasing any exclusives? If so, PM with your interest and what you're willing to pay. We can arrange pick ups near my work or home.

Thanks.

Anyone collecting and finding any new Marvel Universe figs? What are you finding these days? I'm having trouble rounding out my collection.

I don't know if anyone else here is going to be looking to buy SDCC exclusive figures, but I thought maybe each of us can buy extras depending upon who needs what.

I keep checking HTS but nothing has popped up yet. I'm looking for the pink shirt version of Zarana (GI Joe), the Indy figure packs and the Skystriker with Cobra pack.

Let me know if anyone is interested in doing this.

[fett413]

Wow, I'm dumb, I just posted the above then read Gaelinic's ad. I will shoot you a PM.

How's about I organize a meet for the Colorado Springs tankers?

Sound off guys!

[Hawkeye]

Hey guys, I'd love to come to the meetup, but I work as a medic overseas and my rotation is just about to start again. Catch ya on the next one?

And I'd love to take you up on your offer, Gaelinic, but I don't get paid again until after the Con.

Question for all the die hards out there:

I only collect a few Joes here these days and I have yet to find General Hawk or Steel Brigade anywhere. In fact, 80% of the Wal Marts I've checked no longer sell GI Joe and Target only seems to sell peg warming Destros. What gives? Should I skip the hunting and go straight to ebay, or do you think I should chill and wait for the figures to show up?

Sorry, but I primarily collect Star Wars and I generally know how things ebb and flow with that line.
