Me and Taters will be going to a Sci-Fi convention next Saturday and Sunday. We get in for free, because of Tater's connections. ;) There will be lots of stuff there, and I'll bring a digi-cam. Taters will be working in security, so we get in free. We'll get VIP stuff, too. There will be a dinner and show after, which will be 65 dollars to the public, but I get in for 10, and Taters gets in for free! Then, we sleep over at the hotel and stay at the convention for the next day. Lots of people will be there, such as the actors of Darth Vader, C3P0, R2-D2, Mini-me, and more. I'm sure Taters knows more, so he can probably tell you more than me. ;)
Ya i was gonna go anyways, but then the good people from johnstoys.com (good stuff, chech it out!! ;) ) hooked me up. im getting paid to go, i get in free, full vip pass, i work 9-3 then im off to walk around for myself.

There was more that i wanted, but didnt get.
Ti my dissapointment noone had family guy figures, made me very sad, i dont know why, many people asked for them, they should known they were popular.
plus i got in free, and got paid, not bad.
They had soem i didnt have, that being blue votc boba 12" i passed on, cantina scene 2 was not at the top of my list. And boba fett mini, didnt wanna spend 30$ so i passed.
You lucky bastards :p
Good finds. I guess you're nearly caught up now. You have stuff I don't, and I have stuff you don't.
Does all VOTC to date include the KB Chewie or not? I go to mine once in a while but they never have it. I think I'd better order it soon.
Cantina Scene II was 30 dollars. And I coulda got a lot of it, but I decided to take my chances and wait for them to come in stores. They were charging 5 dollars more for all of it (except For VOTC Boba, which I got for 10 dollars, and the Imperial Troop, for 8), I almost bought VOTC 3PO, it looks cool, along with the stormy.
My VOTC so far:
Yoda
Obi-Wan
Luke
Leia
Han
Boba Fett
