You are right. I'm a d!ck for trying to charge tax. It's probably different by you than it is here so you should not be burdened by it.
JOE CON FLORIDA 2011
- Thread starter A.V.A.C.
- Start date
You're a dick for charging anything at all. Collecting is a charity. Really, my only reason for replying was to show off my new sig. Happy JokeOn 2011!
For the most part, I hate all these brazil and PP sets. Just not my cup-o-tea. But I bought a Sparta last night simply because I assume she'll be a bitch to find later. Even if I wanted to make a similar custom, the DTC CG for the head alone would cost more than the Sparta con figure, so I figured what the hell.
dude, i wouldnt even pay cost...he doesnt even want it...yer doing him a favor...he should pay you to take it off his hands
zaranas are con exclusives kick them in the balls for me. hasbro is so stupid for doing that i mean come on we waited for how long to get her and they do this way to go hasblow.

Should would most likely be a peg warmer if released at retail.
I'm pissed there wasting so many spots on crappy repaints and kit bashes for there 30 shitty figures in 30 line. Common give use some plague troopers something different besides the norm... for this "collectors line" of more stupid same figure BS.
*disclaimer* I fully support the techno-viper release and a couple other ones.... but only like 5-7 of them total.

Uh, according to HT's reporting, "30 for 30 isn't happening." They mis-spoke (whatever the hell that means).

Hey everyone, finally got a chance to check in. There's no internet in the f'n show room or toilet. 
I got some pics, does anyone wanna see 'em? There was a bad ass dio in there by Hasbro that's pretty awesome. I'll work on getting them together.
If there's something your itching to see, please let me know. I am also eating dinner with Larry Hama, any questions you want me to ask him? Thanks guys, i'll try to be more on the ball. James and i were all over the place, trying to get our booth, everything is smooth sailing from here on out.

I'm okay with the new Joe box art. I like it better than POC, anyways. It's like a 2011 approach to 1982.
What is that new HISS Driver? He looks cobbled together, but is that a new head, or a CC or what?

ya there dio sets up rock i was at last yrs and it was awsome oh ask hasbro why for the love of god they did that to zarana !!!!!!!! and anything new they have coming pass the crap from last yr lol.
Maybe we'll see new stuff tomorrow? I'm thinking they've at least got to show us who is in the internet exclusive sets, assuming they're still coming.
It is nice to see that the Steel Brigade guys will have removable helmets and not just that goofy-looking head, though.
I believe he is a repainted POC Firefly. Not bad at all IMHO.
AVAC any chance you can get me the Gatilho & Relampago(Lightning) figures?
Thanks for the dio pics AVAC. All I can say is very Awesome! Great use of the POC stuff in the Urban setting. Nice to see the Steel Brigade Troopers too. Looks very realistic and Hasbro did a great job on it.
I've gotta few me pics. As i said, i went to dinner with Hama. I was in a convertable mustang with Larry f'n Hama. This is why i come to the con, cool shit like this happens, and you get to see Zarana in person.

Qft! Funny thing is, it was the first time i had got outside all day and it was sunny for once.
Yay! The cycle armor is still coming out! No use for Joe, but perfect for anime. 
AVAC, find me a Wetsuit and I'll compensate you well.

in the 3rd pic is my boy dave he needs a hair cut lol who was zarana anyway?
Zarana is that butt fugly chick who also does a Baroness thing (no, not my girl) and goes to every con in creation. Screamers or some shit.
That's Screamers? She has a fairly impressive collection from the pictures I've seen. That's dedication to get to those cons and dress up like that. More than I could do.
Big Jim! Local Tanker!
I'm going tomorrow, if I find one for decent, I'll snag it. If not, I know Blood will come through, even though he's a calculating bastard of a scalper.

I found a Wetsuit earlier for $30 on eBay. Not great, but not terrible. That's actually the only other figure besides Claymore from the Joe set that impressed me enough to bite (although the DT actually looks better than the single figure ), and all he is is a damn repaint. But it's a sweet figure.
I think some of the "lackluster" ones may show up in the coming weeks. I'm doubting that Claymore shows up often, and especially at a remotely "good" price (grr, still pissed about getting sniped at the very second I was doing a friggin' BIN... BUY IT NOW?! COME ON!) but I bet that all the Joes besides Claymore and Sparta will be showing up sporadically for less than $40.
I just think that a bunch of the guys are either deciding which ones to keep, or too busy to be hopping on eBay to dump unwanted loose figures because they're still at JoeCon, or to scalp items yet (for the d-bags asking 10x the price).
I'm offering up a boxed MISB "Best of 80's" set for a Claymore or a carded DT, if anyone reads this and feels squirrely.

Rex if memory serves me correctly the booth on the backside of the hall near the lunch tables had em for like $15, but I was walking around all day drinking jack and cokes. I love the fact they dont check anything there.
