Found some nice things today. The new DC Superheroes Joker and Bruce Wayne to Batman. I also found the $20 Boba Fett christmas thing (blaster is a candy cane and han is gift wrapped for Jaba) it's awesome.

Sorry if this seems dumb, but mind if I ask what kinds of things go on at X-travacon? Do lots of people go costumed or mundane? *knows very little about cons, except anime cons*

Just street clothes from what I've seen. They do drawings during the show for comics and other stuff.

This is not your larger convention, this just groups of local sellers who get together, about once a month, to sell stuff to the community and collectors.

It's a great deal at $3, but no there are no artists, or former movie/TV stars there signing autographs (just God Magnus), but there are a lot of comic books, and toys for sale, a good number of Michiganders from here, and well, yeah that's about it. :???:

birthday + xtravacon?

i see that tt will be paying for this transgression for a long time :) might i suggest a swanky dinner immediately after? and perhaps before?

pretty much the con doubles up as the unofficial michiganders meet up. as for dressing up i've seen a couple of munchkins in costumes, but no one over 9. it's comics, toys and a little bit of games.

Hopefully, it is worth our while to be there...hint, hint..nudge, nudge...

Well, yeah, you or anyone else with the cash, but it'd be nice if it went to someone who really wants it that I know.

Or any of my other expensive pieces. And yes, Boon there will be a couple of things there for $2, and it's not Battle damaged Rodimus Prime.

I'm looking forward to the con, even though they are not advertising the date of their website. When they're every couple weeks it starts to become mundane. As always, I'll be looking to unload some of my collection. So don't use all your coin on Black Friday. Hopefully the angry fellow with the 'fell off a truck' prices will have the new Joe's, as I am still lacking anything past Wave 1.

18th is before Black Friday isn't it?

But I do agree with you about Angry Fellow. I needs me some Joes, and SW Biker Scouts, and Dark Troopers... :grin:
