Action Figure ChatterCard lock waht the f does that mean?............................oh.
Alright so as you cen see, my memory card was "locked" and it wasn't until I got home and loked in the instructions that I figureed out what it meant. Boy do I feel dumb. So no pictures today
Sorry guys....
But the re-cap the second day at the con, for those of you that are living vicariously though this post here's the scoop:
Got their early in the morning to wait in line, finally got through after 2 and half hours (ick) and ran over to the Hasbro Booth only to discover that they had already given away all of the tickets for the day. Getting a ticket only entitles you to stand in line, not actually buy a figure. Nuts to that I said, and started asking people in line if they A. were already getting three stan lees(the limit person) and B. if they wanted to make 5 bucks.
As luck would have it there are some decent people left in the world, and I managed to score 2 at 20 a piece. This was after repeated people were extra rude about saying no.
*bonus story!* As I was waiting for the saint of a fellow to purchase my Stan, who walks by me? None other than Peter Mayhew! Got to shake his hand before ever one recognized and swarmed him. Whatta guy.
So after I got my stan's I hoofed it around the rest of the exhibit hall. The toy selection was alright....somethings were waaaaaayyyyyyy over priced. For example: War Machine V Manderin had a sticker price of 75 bucks!!! Legendary comicbook heros were going for 20-25 per fig.
So needless to say, I didn't do much toy shopping. I did however buy some orginal artwork from some artists and got a bunch of autographs. From whom you ask? Lou Ferigno, Garret Wang (Ensign Kim) Jon DeLancie (Q) Tony Todd(Candyman) and Ken Foree from dawn of the dead.
oh here's a link to some pcis, since I can't provide them.... http://www.fwooshnet.com/pics/index.php?cat=207

I was in Phoenix AZ on Wed. and Thurs - visited the McFarlane store - wasn't as big as I thought it would be - the guys working there were cool - said that Fri and Sat were sold out for the Con.
I took a bunch of pics at the Hasbro booth - gotta photoshop 'em so I can post them - saw some cool stuff slated for the future - the Doc Doom and Namor from the new FF wave looked awesome - way tougher than the TB versions, especially the Doom. Didn't have the Hulk wave displayed, the Spider-Man Movie wave looked okay - didn't thrill me. They're putting out a Black Queen exclusive that looks very good and a couple of 2 pack exclusives; one with Cannonball & Domino and one with Cable & ? (can't remember the 2nd character in that pack). I can't remember if they were slated for Wal Mart or TRU.
Mattel had some cool DCSH prototypes on display that made me happy - one of Orion from the New Gods and one of The Demon - Etrigan. Both were dead on. The Mattel people in the booth didn't know when they might be on the market.
This was my fave sighting of the show -
Much better than Carrie Fisher.
