Joe Con 2014
- Thread starter Mandingo Rex
- Start date
I have no idea wtf is up with their GIJoeCon website, though. Oh, Club. You just can't get your shit together, ever.
I know of some casters that will probably be there.
Maybe someone can buy the last of what Aly owes me at the Con for me! Over 3 1/2 years...

I may be going this year, as a first-timer. I will likely be skipping SDCC I think since I've been 2 years in a row and this last year was a tad meh to me. The set really will seal the deal if I go. If it's just mediocre, I'll get the set if I like at least half, but won't waste the effort to go.
For some reason, I have a strong feeling it could be Tiger-Force, but I'm hoping it's something better.

If only!
Transformers (4) has trumped G.I. Joe again.
This April date is bad for parents & kids in general. This does nothing to bring new fans to the brand. marketing FAIL!
I'm
School. School's still in. Parents can't take their kids out of school without ridiculous penalties on the kids anymore, and can't easily leave town with kids left back at home.
Transformers 4 is due out summer 2014. I'm sure the club will have something planned for Botcon for that timeframe.
It's not that it's geared at kids, but parents with kids are fucked. Either leave the kid at home, or take him with you. That's pretty much the option a parent has. I've never been but I get the impression that it's a family gathering for a lot of people. Probably not as many as the manbabies going by themselves like me, but still...
I think I'm done with the whole club thing. The con was ok last year but not nearly cool enough to make me want to go to Texas.
Wanna bet they have d!ck to show there...I know you'd think they would have tons of new stuff to show, but giving their recent history, I'd be mighty surprised to see something worthwhile...
"Dallas? I don't want you goin' to Dallas at all. That place is crawlin' with crack-heads and debutantes, and half of 'em play for the Cowboys."
- Hank Hill, King of the Hill
Any time I see a King of the Hill quote, I weep with joy.
I don't think whatever set is released this year will disappoint me nearly as bad as last year's
I actually like when the sets are undesirable to me...that way I don't have to be sad passing them up 
I won't be sad about passing up any more sets. I can probably make any figures I want and I am no longer going to concern myself with owning any official versions of characters. I have never bought anything form the GI Joe CC that I haven't regretted later. I haven't even got the first FSS 2 figures yet and I'm already wishing I had skipped it.
ah, That's what the educational vacation slips are for. Around here, If you fill one out, and child is not behind in school. They cant deny you. doesn't matter where you go. If teachers say they are up to date and sign off, good to go. Just did it with our kids for the Beach. Not an issue at all. They all signed off same day I sent it in. Got my official permission the next day.
Bet ya Alyosha makes an appearance.
He was set up in a booth with Raginspoon last year. I'm not sure why Raginspoon hangs would want to hang out with Aly. Raginspoon seems like a cool quiet guy, where Alyosha was more of a big obnoxious jackass who clearly thinks of himself as some sort of internet celebrity. I'm sure they will both be there because they are both from Texas.
I am torn. I love San Diego with the SDCC, but the crowds, panels and crowds are silly now.
This years pics from the Wondercon in Anaheim look awesome, thinking about that - plus near Disneyland for the other half.
People seemed happy with this years POWERCON too - getting back into Motuc more lately.
The con just cannot make it west of Texas. A Phoenix, Denver, Seattle, Portland- even Albuquerque would be great for me.
I just don't know what the draw would be for an O-Ring guy like me, other than trading swag and trying to pay for my vacation scalping convention sets.
