    This is a good time/place for me. I'm driving up from Northfield and will bring with me my trade/spares/etc for all. I'll try to have a list in advance of the meetup. Do folks need/like g1 parts or only whole bots? I'm a probable attend.

    I just thought I'd pop in and mention the Central Canada Comic Con coming up this October 29th, 30th and 31st in Winnipeg. Just a few hours north of your location. Passports needed of course.

    This year for Transformers guests we have Andrew Wildman(Marvel), Alex Milne(IDW), Lee Tockar(Beast Wars Ravage) and Marvin Mariano(Package Artist and concept artist for multiple Transformers projects.)

    As well C4 will have an exclusive Drift #4 comic cover from Alex Milne, who has also graciously done the cover for our programs this year!

    Add 300 plus dealer tables and a ton of other things to see and do.

    If any of you do make it up be sure to drop by our Transformers Fan Club table and say hi.

    Thanks for your time
    Rob

    It looks like I can be there at about 1:30 now. I do have a question, though, how hard is it to find? I really haven't been to Minneapolis in like 15 years.

    Not very hard at all. It's a few blocks off Cedar Ave.

    I'll have to pass, as I'll be heading to a Dairyland Transfans ("Dairycon") meet up in Madison on the same day... It's a shame, as Terasa and I had fun at the last meet-up with all of you!
    :D 


    Also, I know it's a ways out (and still in the early planning stages), but I thought I'd make a mention about this so see what kind of interest there might be. We're thinking of doing a Western-Wisconsin Dairyland Transfans meet-up in Eau Claire in January... Would any of you be interested in attending that if we were able to make arrangements?

    I guess it would depend on if it was worth my while or not - trading and selling-wise. I'd want to do both and have plenty of people there doing the same.

    I'll check with some of the others that have attended the Milwaukee Meet-Up (and whatever firsthand info I gain from the Madison Meet) and get back to you!

    Ohh, I need a new Strafe and you have a duplicate? Awesome. I'll take it if you're willing to let him go separate. I MIGHT have that Jetfire armor part, I'll have to look.

    Would any of you guys be interested in my Robotech Masterpiece Ben Dixon Veritech? It has decals applied and was only transformed twice so I could apply decals in jet mode and then put right back into Battloid mode for display. He's in really good shape and is looking for a brand new home. $25 and he's yours. Nice display box and all inserts included.

    I'm also going to have:

    Energon Hot Shot $5 (or by all three for $10, by 2 get 1 free)
    Energon Snow Cat $5
    Energon Strong Arm $5

    CHUG Prowl loose $10
    CHUG Silverbolt loose $15 (buy both Silverbolt and Dreadwind for $25)
    CHUG TRU exclusive Dreadwind loose $15

    The remaining two limbs from RotF Bruticus (Swindle copter and the other tank that's not Brawl) $10 each or both for $15.

    Some sexy anime girls
    And a bunch of other stuff.

    I may also have my Heroes of Cybertron and my Robot Heroes available. Trying to decide if I want to part with them or not. Same with the Animated Dinobots. Grr, decision, decisions, decisions.

    All sales are going toward my Fortress Maximus fund.
