I swear to god... If we see some of the concept vault figures done in the neon nightmare that usually comes along with exclusives, I will shit a brick.
Joe Con 2014

I'm new to all this con malarky but I like the sound of the new figures. F'n gutted I live on my stupid island as the big island has all the good stuff. Wish I could get a green card. I'm stick with ebay prices for life

A lot of the time you could get someone to help ya out. If the set proves to be remotely interesting, I might do just that
Well, that theme doesn't excite me in the slightest, and the "team" seems weird as hell for the Joe side. The Eco-warriors make sense, but then… T'Jbang and Outback? WTF? Is that so they can squeeze the rest of the EWs into FSS for the next 3 years? They need to quit with that shit.
I'm glad that SDCC registration was delayed, that set's not a big enough draw for me to want to go to JoeCon as it stands.

The set...I don't give one flying f*@# about it...the ONLY fig I even care a little bit about is the ToxoViper since I had one when I was a kiddo...
Gosh dang that was awesome!

Kinda surprised no one has commented on the challenge coin, although everyone may have skipped the non-con set parts of the brochure. 
Yeah, right now I'm waiting on the nerd community to really blow up over that one. Kind of a dick move, personally, considering you can only buy one or the other of each set with a "ticket" or package, right? I've never given a shit about the Joe Barbie dolls in the first place, so I never really looked to find out. Maybe the doll-collectors will sell the 1:18th ones?
Unless pics really wow me, I'll probably be looking to trade someone my bagged set from last year for a bagged set from this year, or just do without. Eco-Warriors was a low-point for me. I'm actually the most stoked about that Cobra dog-handler guy over anything.
This set is working on nostalgia... but it's targeting an era from after I discovered girls and cars and stopped giving a damn. There is nothing in the brochure that gets me excited, and I highly doubt I'll be participating in the joecon-bullshittery this year. Plus, I don't have any credit cards I currently want to get leaked to members of the russian mafia, so I'll refrain from transacting with them this year.
MR can't wait to give his info away
The club loves him. Why buy the vintage ones for a third of the price when you can have some half assed "club" fuck up your personal info and charge you to fix their mess ups? Seems like who I would gladly give money to. Yup. Totally would.
Of course the stupid fucking con gets the zombies. No chance in hell I'll own them now unless I buy second hand.

Hopefully we see some new zombie parts. Then I'd say Tofu Jesse would hopefully have em in his store
$75 fucking dollars for a custom class?!! HA!! What a rip! I hear there will be a place one day to find all that info. Rumor has it the name will be "internet". Lore is that so much information will be on it that you can do almost anything! I bet when it gets here there will be tons of places to learn how to custom and maybe even get parts for it.
You know why they have a Joe Colton? So the 12 inch collectors can sell it to get some money back! Just like the 4 inch collectors do with their bagged sets!Yeah, right now I'm waiting on the nerd community to really blow up over that one.

SCALPER HEAVEN
The Cobra dog handler could be a repainted Night Adder.

I can understand if you want your kids to try out something like that class but for how much scratch you already put out to drop another $75/person is crazy. As a family event it is something to do together but that $75 could be spent on parts to make your own at home and teach your kids if that is your thing.
Shit, maybe Rex and Medd could charge people to learn to make dio walls! Next custom con you all better be ready to pony up!!

Hey they are just trying to make back the money they spent on the 3D printer!
I'm curious just to know how many people will actually sign-up for that.
What the fuck?

same feelings. That fig is going to be a bitch to get.
This This and This
I will most likely get a set either way as I have a very reliable Con hookup and will continue to go through him. Will I keep them? That all depends on the photos.
The only thing I think I will be interested in is the Toxo Lab That they wait until the con to tell anyone about & then you never see it again.
HA! Yeah, right. He probably wishes he were doing them.
Does suck ass being Con sets though. I mean... it's zombies, c'mon. Most everyone is going to want these frickin' things, so yeah... let's make them overpriced Con sets. Sounds about right for Hasbro these days.
DUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH.
