So this saturday was another Frank And Son's collectors meet, ie. NerdConvention. But not really. Things from Transformers (first generation NIB Convoy Optimus, LE LeoConvoy NIB) dating back to the very FIRST transformers NIB, grayscale, to Limited Edition Mint Uncanny XMen, to JDM goodies, to swords and airsoft guns, apparel, cell phone trinkets, DVDs, character busts, toys, the works. Its always a plethora of random collectors' items.

here are a FEW pictures, as they told me i couldn't take any (possibly copyright infringement)

This guy got ALOT of business cause he said everything was priced as is. He didn't sort out the comics too well as he was ripped soo many times for having limited edition comics. One bundle had Detective Comics (IIRC) with the first appearance of Batman and only sold for 50bucks.

The dope part in the movie is when the sailorscouts do cartwheel to damage the monsters. What a way to die, huh? "Damn, i got cartwheeled"

I woulda bought, but i only had my mini-atm card, and it didn't fit into any ATM machine.

It sucked balls i couldn't capitalize.

They had a Transformers area, StarWars, Marvel, Anime, JDM dvds, JDM games, posters, baseball cards, magic, its crazy.

Next time (this wednesday) i wanna go grab some of those comics. I was tempted to buy a cast IronMan helmet. They had the Magneto, but he was way too over-powered.

You can be Magneto, and i'll Be ironman.

Cuz i have a drinking problem.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to jessfx again.

Its the thought that counts.

Who's going wednesday? :wiggle:
