Guess the point I'm trying to get with my last post is....I thought this was a "hook-up" thread. You know...if someone is already going there...can you "hook" us up with one.

Last time I checked this was www.hisstank.com....not ebay.

thanks, but no thanks.

Well, what were you going to do with three of each figure anyway?
If you were going to sell one or two, then you know you would be making bank off of them, so paying a little extra for someone going through the trouble of going to San Diego (from where Blue and I are located in California, it would take about a day's drive to get there).
If you are indeed going to be hitting up the comic con this year Blue, let me know, and we can try to work something out bud.

so far it looks good with me going. reason i am looking into the whole breaking even is if i pick the max up i only want one set for mysself. but if people are going to complain about marking it up to try to cover expenses then it will be cheaper for me to pay ebay prices then waste my gas and money driving down there. no offence to flash or apac but i think its crap that people give someone a hard time for trying to get some of there expenses back from an expensure. its going to cost me over 100 dollars out of my pocket to drive down there. i know i can get a set on ebay cheaper then that. so this is not a get rich quick scheme, its just me trying to figure if its even worth my time going down there to pick these up for other people (still most likely cheaper then ebay) then to just get a set for me on ebay. from the looks of things i probobly shouldnt have oppened my mouth about this cause now i got the board all pissed cause im trying to break even or as close as i can on expenses and im not willing to dump 100+ dollrs down the drain. this isnt like im just going to walmart (or ollies) and im out 5 bucks in gas. im looking at 100+ out of pocket on this trip.

No, it's not that Blue.
Your wording kinda came off very Clutch-like.
If you are actually going to SDCC, then picking up a few extras would probably be no problem, if they do not have a limit on what you can get.
As in the past, the exclusives there are usually one per customer, to keep stuff from selling out fast.
I don't see the problem with asking maybe a few bucks extra than what you paid for them, for your troubles, but when you start talking about wanting to have the trip pay for itself (expenses and all that), it just comes out a sounding a little odd.
I know what you are trying to say though, but if you are going to be driving all the way to SDCC just for the chance to get those two figures, maybe it would be cheaper to hold off and get them by other means, because after all, San Diego is on the other side of the world.
You should be going because it's a fun experience, and there's tons of cool things to check out at the SDCC.
And don't forgets, it's hotter there than the valley!
=P

Blue, as Dream stated...you worded as if the extra figures were basically paying for the trip. Like I said in my post before, if you are already going there...I don't see the need for the extra figures to pay the trip tab. I can see making some extra cash on the figures for your trouble...just can't see them being the way to finance the trip.

[bluebikerboy1]

is there a way to find out what the limit is?

Did anyone find out the answer to why flash wanted three of each?
