there were goods & there were not-so-goods...
goods:
i sold a bunch of stuff and left with some cool merchandise...
little porcelain figures of GAMERA:LITTLE BRAVES were my main score...as well as the 5 pc little konami type set and of course, the actual DVD, which i watched last night and must say it's way above average...not as strong as G3 but liked it better than G1 & G2...
4 cool kaiju t-shirts
anytime i leave a show with more money than i came with (after ALL expenses---including $40 parking for the 3 days) and get some cool products, it's all good...
the not-so-goods:
lotsa 'regulars' were not in attendance...no john tuckyXO, no alanW monsters direct, no mike wallace, no bill gudmunson, no ed godziewski & family, no bilal/hobby dude...
BUT still got to see lotsa other folks...steven
(evil_ryu) came up and introduced himself and car(o)l
Zombiezilla and his fam made it...plus other pals from TX, OK, NE, MI, AL, TN, CA, NM...
STan coulda used your help with seminars, LB!!!he asked about you & we're all happy to have you 'back'!!! him and mattE (kaiju modeler) and gregR (zillatrader) did most of the work...larry tribula came up to STan and asked if he could do a seminar next year...STan turns and says "how bout this year?"...5 minutes later, larry's doing a seminar on dioramas using his G v talos and fighting packys that we all saw @ WF07...
kaijumodeler, zillatrader & me all at one table had 99% of all kits offered...not many takers...but greg & i sold A TON of buildups...old ones, new ones, good ones, bad ones...didn't matter...
hotel still suxxx...parking $10 a day...no ins & outs...so they held ya hostage to their eateries...which cost A MINT!!!...<<<$8 for cup o coffee & bagel>>>NICE!...
**********************************************************
the BIG contraversy was whether or not it would be back in chi for 2008...rumors of the twin cities abounded...that was settled satPM a couple pals of mine were cocktailing with JD & it was verified for
same bat channel next year...
which lead to the next contraversy...
NOT THE SAME BAT TIME!!!...it's gonna be 7/3-4-5-6/2008...that's right 4 days due to one being the 4th...
could be good...anytime it's a holiday weekend though it
could be disastrous...
