Little Rock Comic Con (LRCC) Oct. 26th, 2013

Figured I'd make a thread for my local Con, as a spot to leave my thoughts, lay out plans and as a meetup thread since we have another member here besides me that'll be attending. I'm not expecting to be wowed...it is Little Rock, after all. I just hope that Transformers and/or G.I. Joe get a panel all to their own. I know there'll be an author from the Batman chronicles there as well as members from TCA Wrestling. Cosplay contest and from what I'm hearing a record number of dealer tables/booths there. Probably won't be buying much, if anything at all. I would like to find a detolf cabinet/glass display case though while I'm there, fairly cheap. As far as toys are concerned, I'm not expecting to see a lot of 3rd party Transformers...if any. Probably be mostly G1, Beast Wars and A/E/C. Possibly some newer stuff like Generations and Masterpiece as well.

I've reserved a room at the hotel where the convention is taking place. A nice double room. I'll also bring some goodies to sell or trade:

G1 Roadbuster (100% complete)
G1 Whirl (100% complete)
Classics Megatron
Classics Optimus
Classics Grimlock
Universe Ironhide
Universe Ratchet (MOSC)
Universe Silverbolt
Universe Springer
PE-11 Scouting Force X (w/Reprolabels unapplied) (MIB) ...aka 3rd party Reflector
SDCC Cobra Commander (MOSC)

good introduction.  yep i will be working a booth most likely and my wife will be working too.  cant wait.  i have been every year and it has gotten bigger everytime.  i hope u enjoy it although i know its no botcon, it will be nice for arkansas.  u might be surprised what u find as i go not planning to buy sometimes and i always do get something.  i would not be surprised if there is some third party stuff.  guess we will have to wait and see.

Whose booth will you be working? Also noticed some other members from TFW2005 will be running booths as well... Blaster Master, Autobot City Comics, exc.., exc.. Anyways, I hope to meet everybody in person. And I hope you're right about there being some nice 3rd party stuff there to buy.
 

Less than 1 week away!!   I won't be online at all next weekend from Friday evening (8pm'ish CDT) until late Sunday evening sometime. I'll be knee deep in Transformers toys for sale. One guy alone is bringing over 3,500 transformers to sell at his table. And from what I hear there'll be over 60 venders there. Can't wait!

Members going:
Flik68
Soundwave
Blitzwing
and of course...myself.

Plenty of pictures will be posted up when I get back!

Find me the cheapest, ugliest KO you can. Chances are I'll have it, but if not I'll love it!

Hey Flik, you going up to Little Rock Friday night? If so, I'll be checking into the motel (La Quinta Inn) around 10:30pm that night. Wanna go have a drink somewhere close? Us and the wives, of course. If so, we need to PM our phone numbers to each other so we can meet up without confusion......says Confusious.

I'm from Iowa.

No, really-Iowa.

 I thought about doing that, but don't want to be rushed trying to get there. The women in my house aren't "morning" people and we'd have to leave around 6am so I don't see them waking up that early and being in a good mood. Worth it to me just to pay an extra night in the motel.

Dude. I had a blast! Even though I didn't buy anything, the best part was getting to meet everyone! Can't wait until next year.

  yeah, asked permission to photograph of course once we realized they were both parked on the same level as our car in the parking garage. I've thought about adding Cobra symbols like those to my own vehicle at times, huge G.I. Joe fan here!
