Looking forward to seeing the sale of the heartman brothers. And thanking them for getting back into a love affair with a franchise that I had loved as a kid. They brought me back into the love of transformers in 1995 with my first Botcon in Rochester NY. I am going to have a fist full of cash and I will be using the phrase "shut up and take my money"  

I am hoping the Heartmans will join autobotcity and myself at the terrace cafe for breakfast on Thursday morning when we do the breakfast meet and greet. We always have a good time. Tony b and Brian Savage hope to see you as well Lordtigerhawk

 

You have my attention

 

Any new news ??

 

Hi folks. Working on the final pricing lists over the next 2 days, before I head up to my brother's house to price each individual item. Quite a bit of what is being brought will be priced at or below original retail cost. When I previously said, priced to move, I meant it! I'm not sure where we will be in the dealer room, but I'll try to let you folks know on here as soon as I find out. Newest estimate is around 1350 items.

I'm hoping we don't have to limit the number of folks in the booth at one time like we did before, but Jon and I will make that decision over the weekend. I'll try to answer individual questions on here again. (If you asked a question before, and I didn't get back to you, ask again.)

Thanks,

Karl

 

Here's a long shot... Do you by any chance have any Botcon 1994 G2 Breakdown left? I am hoping to find a reasonable priced one. Cheers!

 

We do, but that is one of a few things that we'll be keeping, strictly for nostalgia reasons.

Well, that and our first Windcharger.

 

Hehehe... I saw that yesterday at the Museum, and I was thinking - these toys you lent to the exhibit aren't going to make it to the sale.  

Looking forward to your sale at the convention.  

 

Quick Sunday Update:

Jon and I have been pricing items like crazy tonight, and will continue the next 2 days. But, we came up with something fun. For anyone that purchases $350 or more, we'll throw in a Tap Out for free (while supplies last). I know it isn't much, but we found a small quantity of him in the storage room, so we thought we'd pass it along to the folks who stop by.

Lots of carded items with single digit dollar prices, priced to move!! We'll be bringing some store displays, priced at "make an offer." Who knows what other fun stuff we'll find in the next 3 days.

We're working on figuring out the selling schedule, like we did last time. Certain series will be available on certain days, simply because there is no way we can have it all out at once. I'll try to update here, when we figure it out.

Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend!

Karl

 

Also, please do check out the MegaToyFan parts party. Megamus and I have worked out something pretty fun.

Karl

Yes we have worked something out....no it has nothing to do with Megz.....but come check it out anyway.....

Didn't know it was that kind of parts party.  

 

To provide a mental image cleanser, I'll let the cat out of the bag.

Bret will will recite a series of haikus that he wrote, especially for this occaision, detailing the entire history of the Transformers brand, from its inception through the 2016 line, and I will provide musical interludes on my baritone saxophone.

Fully clothed, thank you.

 

No fun man

 

Karl wants a haiku.
Karl is gonna be so sad.
Bret no do haiku.

 

A couple more things that we have dug up, bringing to the show.

Original box art for Bantor
A set of "Oreo" minicons from Japan.
Some Beast Wars Era store display signage.

 

That last one definitely caught my interest.  

 

Plus, I know he's not bringing his saxophone. There's no room in his car.
