4th Toys and Collectibles Christmas Fair / TFA Optimus GET

So last week, dropped by day 2 of the 4th Toys and Collectibles Christmas Fair with Mikko —

and what was there?  Tons of cheap loose/boxed ML, DCUC, DCIH, Joes, TF, comicbooks and custom figs.  If ever you’re looking for cheap giveaways for your inaanaks this Christmas, I think this is the place to get ‘em.

Also, I finally got myself a TFA Voyager Optimus Prime!  AWESUM!

hauls!

(all the GI Joe stuff is Mikko’s)

I did see the Walmart Punisher that I like — but my money’s reserved for my mum’s gift.  :D

So, drop by the 4th Toys and Collectibles Christmas Fair — last chance tomorrow (later) the 22nd!  Woohoo!

(Incidentally, failed the original “bloodpod” mission after the Fair. LOL)

Here’s a couple more pictures of TFA Optimus:  (Not to mention that the wrist guard on the right arm snapped off.  Booo!  Prolly brittle plastic?)

scud!

When will this be mine?  I know Indie Spotlight’s been out for awhile now, so why haven’t I seen a Scud anywhere here?

for the toys I didn’t get to buy: Toy Con 2009

[At the time  of this writing, Toy Con 2009 will have just ended...]

Picture this, say, you could only attend ONE convention a year — I feel it should be Toy Con.  Honestly, I’ve missed like 70% of the similarly-themed conventions over the last year, but I always attend Toy Con.

My name is Paolo, and I’m a 6th-time attendee of Toy Con.

tambay.

Being situated over the course of what is (was) a payday-on-Monday-long-weekend, I was broke for this Toy Con.  Like most of you lovely Toy Con attendees, I have this list of things I.MUST.GET, but I would bet you all the money in my wallet that most of the time, the unplanned finds end up being the best toys you get for that Toy Con.

Again, the day’s event/programme is busy, packed with contests, bands, videos (Dead Fantasy, woohoo!) and cosplayers while most of the attendees are busy buying plastic.  Recession?  What recession?  People are clearly buying toys!  It might save economies!  :) )

Not that I always end up buying anything anyway — I go for the company.

joker.

Toy Con is, of course, never JUST about the toys, or the haggling, or the sex-ay cosplayers, it’s about getting a huge venue to house — even for just two days — people with similar interests.  So if ever you’re into the toy, cosplay, art (please let me still be in DAMEAT :p ) , comicbook or animation scene, chances are, some of your similarly-interested friends are there already.

Most of these similarly-interested friends, I only get to see during these conventions, so that’s the best reason to go, really.  It’s just a really, really big plus if you get that big huge discount on the toy you were looking for.

Let’s see what the bats in the wallet got:

  • Jetfire/Grimlock Gift set - Because I don’t have a Jetfire yet!  :p
  • Transformers Music Label Soundwave/Soundblaster MP3 Player – An MP3 player that turns into a robot that’s almost in-scale with TF Classics/Universe!

Both were acquired at a great bargain!

And here’s what Snacks bought:

Kudos to the organizers, the sponsors, the (new and old) friends, the sex-ay cosplayers, the big expensive chunks of plastic that we all love — It was a fun, tiring, NERDgasmic Toy Con, and here’s to next year’s!
