Our thanks again to everyone that came out to the show!
DethPike
Get DarthDevious on that $hit! I think a GIF of that would make a great new avatar! LOL!!

The only video I have is of Bob dancing. I can't figure out how to separate the sound from the video to make hilarity ensue.
DethPike
I can neither confirm nor deny the lurid and deviant acts that the toys on Liokaiser's table may or may not have been engaged in…
A do believe though that a video of the event was made and will soon be available and titled "Toys Gone Wild".
Liokaiser
In the positions you put them in. I know where your mind was at. Just ask Dethpike.
Mayhem_Prime
So did your toys.

Too bad, I'd have cut you a deal…
Liokaiser
Nah, I didn't really have a chance to leave my table, and when I did it was quick. My little sister was with me and I didn't want to leave her solo. Primeconvoy1 had tons of Zoids right next to my table, so I got to mess around with his.

I think he's kidding. He didn't even look at the stack of MISB Zoids I was trying to dump at the show!
DethPike
LOL – declaring that you "want Zoids" is like opening the floodgates of Hell.
Maverick Hunter Christian
Careful what you wish for. There's probably about 50 dudes on this board alone, including myself that would be ready to dump an entire collection of pre-built models on you at the drop of a hat!
Liokaiser
I want to collect Zoids now. Those Dino's were wicked.
Primeconvoy1
Great show all around! Rose, Tony, & all involved managed it nicely! Music was entertaining too!
I was pretty busy with my tables, and it was cool to meet some new faces. Thanks to everybody who grabbed something off me.
Some of the cosplayers had some great costumes including a cool looking Grimlock. Wish I brought my camera!
Btw Liokaiser, stop harassing my Zoids!

I wanted to attend this, but it happened to fall on the same weekend as another con in my area, AnimeUSA that I had already made plans to attend.
That being said next year if you're doing it around the same time I can definitely attend and bring some people with me!
Liokaiser
Had a great time, can't wait till the next show.
