We need to figure out what we're doin' next year.. by "we" I mean "the Followers of the Purple Pants"; I'm down for either Heroes or NYCC, but NYCC has more SF Momos.. so I'd probably go there. :D

Assuming my ex has no more "surprises" for me. :(

[VaultMan]

Booooo! Booooo! No more surprises! :soapb:

[dablkpnther]

Assuming my ex has no more "surprises" for me. :(

Nope – not able to make it this year. My fellow SFer John/Vince Vell has kindly agreed to pick up some art for me at the show so I will have a con haul, just not quite as much as previous shows.

Heroes 2012 is my big target next year. I have not been to this show and I have only heard awesome reports from people have gone. I will still try to do NYCC next year as well as it is a great show.

[VaultMan]

Chili night was canceled as per Lyn, because of my leg injuries.
Sorry ladies and germs.

:(

Hope that leg feels better soon :angrycm:

[MartyMcFly160]

[Tony Coca]

I just hope exclusives will be on sale on thursday.

[MartyMcFly160]

what are the odds of stuff selling out quick? like what are the odds that a item sticking around till final day?

[VaultMan]

what are the odds of stuff selling out quick? like what are the odds that a item sticking around till final day?

Most NYCC exclusives will be gone in minutes...but it depends on what it is

I think I got an issue of Amazing Spidey one year with a NYCC exclusive cover by J Scott Campbell or something...stuff like that tends to stick around for a minute...

[Tony Coca]

5 more days.

[MartyMcFly160]

im excited, im still filling my planner

[Tony Coca]

[J Storm]

[JadeGiant]

I would love to score one of the Hulk figures (half green/half red) – anyone is not planning to get one and would be willing to pick one up I would be grateful. Only if not too much trouble … if lines are long I can get one later.

[rychehitman]

Hey Mafia....after Dave gets hooked up, can someone hook me up with the Hulk Marvel Universe exclusive as well as the $35 set of Maximum Carnage Mini Muggs?

If not.....I am sure they will be on the website like the San Diego exclusives were....but I'd love to get them sooner!

Thanks guys!

[J Storm]

Yo Dave, did someone pick you up the compound hulk figure?

[JadeGiant]

Yo Dave, did someone pick you up the compound hulk figure?

dunno Ant. After I posted I was looking for one I posted that I found out that it looks like they will be available after the cone so I am not sure if anyone snagged one or not. If anyone got me one I will glady take it.

How was the con today? We haven't seen/heard any updates yet.

[Tony Coca]

One of the ones I got were for dave.

[JadeGiant]

One of the ones I got were for dave.

sweet Jose! Just let me know how much I owe ya:buttrock:

So .... the cone .... details!!! pics?!?!?!

[Tony Coca]

So far sketch wise its been a let down. Jim cheung and paolo rivera were all booked up. Still waiting for matt to finish my sketch from last year. Very disappointed.

Man Jose that is a bummer. Can't believe Matt is still working on something from last year.

Does Cheung/Paolo start a new list every day?

[Tony Coca]

Yeah supposedly.I hope so cause I really want that cheung sketch.

[VaultMan]

I dont think I'm gonna hit artists alley as hard as I predicted. Just have no desire to wait around all effing day while these mugs crank out artwork. At least I'm not sweating the heavy hitters - maybe some simpler peOple will deliver some nice Kang work for me

[JadeGiant]

Hope you get one - Jimmy's con sketches are top notch! Good luck!

Just check the heavy hitters early - if they have openings on the list, throw your name on it and move on ... no waiting needed for some of them if you get on the list. Hitting up some lesser known artists is a good plan as well - there are a ton of artists that do great work that don't have a huge following yet

[rychehitman]

Jose, is Amanda Conner selling prints???

[Tony Coca]

Didn't check. I'll look tomorrow for you. I know cheung had some awesome prints.

[rychehitman]

Pm coming your way Coca!

the X-Force Archangel looked cool. The only thing I bought was the han solo in carbonite ice tray.

[Tony Coca]

[J Storm]

the highlight of the con was on Thursday when Coca arrived to the show on top of Ficci's mom's back. He rode her like a dewback, lol!

[JadeGiant]

So how was the show? Compared to last year?

Sorry to hear that things have been stressful and hectic Twinzs. Nothing like a beer or the hard stuff to bring the stress level down. lol.

I picked up a couple of artwork prints from Norman Lee and Billy Tucci thanks to Coca. That's all I could afford right now. Didn't have any $$$$ to spend. School shopping for my 3 girls last month wiped me out so I didn't have extra cash to spend on myself at the con.

[dablkpnther]

nice pics! Looks like a good time was had!

Most definitely. :buttrock:

I have more pics from the con but it would pointless for me to post them consider Omar put up some quality shots in the convention thread with some if not all the images that I've taken that one day that I went to the NYCC.

[Tony Coca]

yo twinz. if you need a new manager, im looking for a new job.lol.

[Tony Coca]

Yo Dave.Thanks for the sketch. I appreciate it.

[Collection King 13]

I think the show floor plan was organized the best it has ever been.
