Do I look like an Iron Grenadier? That will not work. I would be disappointed if I drove to Joecon to find no deals and all the exclusives were gone. That's a pretty good chunk for hotel and gas to get over there. How much do you usually spend from start to finish on this Money? It's ok.. you can give us a dollar amount... we won't judge but I would love to know the total cost to go ALL THE WAY!!! LOL!

The largest piece is spent when you register (at least for me).
This includes the box set, bagged set, t-shirt, and any tours you might want to go on. (est. $600 and optional) To attend you only need a general admission ticket. I think it runs $40 for the weekend and is included in the above. Registration night is also very expensive, but where you get the best shit. This is your first trip to the club store and when you pick up your con set. $200 - 300 can easily be spent on exclusives depending on price. The hotel runs about $140 per night. Usually this is split up so each person only has to pay one night. (You need 2 roommates.) + food and drinks.

Does the General Admission ticket get you in on Friday? I know most of you get sneak peeks on Thursday and get some early bird special on Friday. I just want to know when I can really beat the overall crowd and get the exclusives without paying 4 arms and a kidney. I am not looking for the Con Set as much as the other exclusives that could be available ike all the Python Stuff from earlier this year.

Exclusives are long gone for the most part by then. Registered quests only on Thursday and Friday. Info from last year: International G.I. Joe Collectors' Convention - GIJoeCon 2011!

I go to Hawaii April 25th - May 5th and Joecon is late June? There is no way in today's hell that I could come up with Exclusive Money and Gas and Hotel. I might as well take a gun and shoot this year's Joecon right between the eyes. I guess the damn thing is never coming back to Texas.

I am willing to bet that it will be in Texas in 2013.
Isn't that where it was in 2007 right after it was in New Orleans in 2006?

It was in Texas in 2008. I was there for like 3 hours on a Saturday. I may not count this trip out just yet. I may just have to go and give my buddy Money B some money and grab me some exclusives while I sit outside and wait. If he would be willing to do that for me as long as I was there!
