no, EXO is still trying to get other ppl's opinions...$30 will cover prizes and food for both days...if you want other things, it'll be more.

nice find...that's a really good price.

if that's your attitude about it, then I don't think you should be running things. I only made a suggestion. if you remembered the SF trip...I paid to get in, but did I care about Mari? not in the least. I dont' want a separate section...I'm saying don't have her at all. In the beginning, it's been just a bunch of Macross/Robotech fans that come hang out, check out some new stuff and customs, maybe pick up a few random things from the sellers that can make it. yah, I remember one year the food situation was really messed up and some people put in more than they should and got less. I dont' mind if you collect for food money and it's great that EXO wants to make the poker tourney pay for the food on both days, but if you're going to force me to buy a CD/pay entrance fee to go hang out and see some of the customs, then I probably won't go.

damn that looks like a freakin toy store in Asia! man...that's pretty sweet.

you in the US yet Rob? anyway, try contacting goldenboyforever to see if he can hook you up with hotels.

I think there should be a minimal cover charge for all guests. Maybe $10.00. The purpose of the $30.00 buy is not for the Tourney alone, or am I wrong? Wasn\\\'t the Tourney meant to kick off the Con? Then the remaining proceeds were in part for the Tourney and then the Con itself. But you also have to see it this way, the pople who want to buy-in are those who want a chance to win a prize (and gloating rights). So basically it\\\'s a lottery with a twist. The minimal charge would not apply to the Tourney players of the previous night. There would have to be a sign-in sheet for those who participate. The coordinator of the event can hold onto this list and vouch for those on the list as being exempt of the cover charge for the Con. Your actual buy-in would then be $20.00 for the tournament and you would automatically be allowed to enter in the Con the next day with your additonal $10.00 from the proposed $30.00 buy-in. There would be no splitting of the buy-in, you want to play but not attend the Con, your buy-in is still $30.00. I think this is a fair and justifiable to have all those who participated to not actually pay but contribute something for all the hardwork to make this happen. The left over funds can be sent to either, Shawn, Graham, or set up in a fund for next year\\\'s soiree. Just a thought. 382713[/snapback] Nope, EXO doesn't want to do that, I talked with him about it already, except I suggested $3 heheh.

best way to figure out costs of everything is to work backwards...how many ppl was at last year's con, how much was spent on food, how much are the prize costs total, how much would it cost for mari to come again? I for one dont' really care much about "special guests" that require payment from us. I didn't get to choose whether or not to attend the con last year, but if I had to pay $20...I probably would have stayed home. If a yamato rep or egan loo decide to show up and talk our ears off about macross for the heck of it, great! if not, no big deal, there should be plenty of other things to do.

I think you should tell the people what the prizes will be...that might stir more interest. and if you're firm on your other ideas, then you shouldd state those too and make a condition for it like only if we get 30 players are we going to have....

popy varitank coudn't find anything on the 2nd one and can't read the words on the 3rd one. for the 2nd one on the bottom it says popy machine hayabusa pa-87, dynamic something...

Is there a definitive street date for these? not just month?

when they revived something from my childhood that I liked a lot but couldn't afford then...I was quite happy...just had to get them all. that pic I posted is a custom somebody did in 1/6 scale. awesome detail on it...probably sold in the $1000's. I try not to discuss my private life(other than my toy collecting) on the web. there really isn't a need for it, so all I'm going to say is I date around looking for my ideal mate.

had problems with imageshack earlier so coudlnt' post it...but here it is...can't believe they're all here...looking at the earlier ones and the later ones...man, what a difference! here's a pic of my gf with full barbarian gear! J/K!! that's a freakin custom...damned best custom figure I've ever seen!

why even put it up if it won't be for a while? just concentrate on what you ahve to do now then worry about this when the other one is about done.

got in my Pisces! and my final dragon thanks to a member of this board. My 12 gold saints is now complete! yay!!

so this version has to original game on it too??

easy to answer your question fort max, HG would put a stop to it because it says macross on the shirts. and usually, the shirts made are sold at cost from what I understand.

damn, that not cool, why they dumping the surplice?? might have to make my own after all.

holy freakin cow! that's saweet!!

congrats Steve, you did good!

how would you randomly pick a name? throw everybody name in a hat a draw it? who would witness it? who's trustworthy enough?

dont' you know the rowboatheck versions have exploding rounds?? them genies at HG at work!

man, looking at those heads, they need to redo all the gold saints except the last 5 made.

yah, seriously, you have them displayed w/o the armor on, guess you like the objects better. nice collection tho, I like how you have them in order.

Nice Pics! 379749[/snapback] I agree!

I don't like this idea cuz it's not like you ever get to see the pilot in battroid mode anyway...what's the point? I dont' even know why they would add that as a feature. kinda cool but useless. not to knock your idea, if you like it go for it...but this is one thing I deem unnecessary.
