What's the Convergence?

Anywhooo....Some of the Targets on the East side reset with the TF/Joe endcap. Top shelf or two is devoted to the TFA repaints of Shockwave and Sunstorm...Bottom two are supposed to have the new jets, but there's too much of a glut on the older versions.

The Northtown Target store still has the same 30 Rattlers and Conquests. No new planes have shown up yet.

The few Targets I've seen with the new endcap are FULL of the older jets, but a buddy of mine found the Python Conquest at Oakdale Target minus the pilot. Scum....

Howdy! I'm actually living in Iowa, but I'm originally from NW WI, and I was home for spring break this past week. Anyways, at the Hudson, WI Target there were the new planes (not on the end cap, but in the aisle).
oh yeah, might I add GO PACKERS! :-)

I go to Convergence every year. I know it's not necessarily the coolest thing for my image to admit...but let's face it: I'm posting about action figures on the internet. I'm not the hippest of fellas.

What show are you doing? And, yes, it could be a opportunity to meet face to face. We can talk more about it as we get closer to the 4th of July.

Picked up the repaint jets at Oakdale Target over the weekend.

Anybody ever see any "Ghost Hawks" or "Sting Raiders" in a Minnesota store? I'm starting to think they never really existed!

I've never seen them in a store. Order them at HTS.

Convergence is a convention that explores the funny side of Sci-fi, superheroes, etc. I'm in a show called "Ka-baam - the Improvised Comic Book". The audience decides the heroes names, then we improvise (on stage) three hero origins and then a team adventure. A comic book artist , Christopher Jones (Batman Strikes, Iron Man) draws the "cover" to the adventure and creates our villain.

Also slated (but not confirmed) to appear is most, if not all, of the original cast of MST3K / Cinematic Titanic. So come for the food, stay for the pie

As for sightings, has anybody seen the Best of the 80's DVD pack anywhere on line? Seems that they're not shipping anymore. I wonder if they had a small production run, or if we'll start seeing them in spades at Big Lots. (Is Big Lots still open?)

Fridley Target put out figures from the troop builder case. I noticed Cobra Jet Pack guy,cobra soldier w/ red logo, eel, crimson guard & viper both revisions. No Ninja Viper. The only figure I have not seen in stores.

They also have the new Marvel 3 3/4" figures. Man they look awesome but 7.99 is tough.
