Well, I didn't spend all the money I had projected for the con, due to unexpected news last week. But I was still able to negotiate quite a bit with some vendors, and grab up some great steals. I spent a total of $275 for everything listed below:) Most figures were $5, some 3 for $10. A lot of the items are extras so I may be placing them up on the B/S/T at great prices;)

I don't usually buy opened items, but for the price on this 12" Marvel Legends Icons Grey Hulk, the price was perfect:)

My finale.....V-Rex vs Kong! This thing is huge! It is 24" tall and weighs approximately 55 lbs. Placed the 12" Grey Hulk in there so you get the idea. BTW, here was the price I paid:D

Yeah dude. You'd be surprised of how much you can actually negotiate at this place:D Some vendors were stern on their prices, but most were flexible in negotiating

EXCELLENT haul. That's a killer Kong vs. Rex statue.

The pictures really do not do this thing justice. My camera sucks:o:D It's a very impressive piece when standing in front of it. It was definitely challenging taking this thing out of the convention:D I had to carry it out so you can just imagine how exhausting it was:p But so damn worth it:)

Thanks all;)

Dude, that statue was there last year for a bit over $200. This year the vendor had them at $100:eek: They were flying off his tables, bro. I would have gladly paid over $200 for this piece, but at $100 it was the best bargain at the con.

I want that Lou F autograph.

Dude, Lou looks amazing. That guy has aged so f******* gracefully. He looks bigger now than in his earlier days. The guy was extremely cool and humble, too. It's obvious that he is quite proud of the way he looks at this stage in his life. I asked, "So, Lou, seems like you're still training hard, man!" He gave a big smile and flexed his bicep with pride to answer my question followed by some laughter:D Very cool guy indeed

They're pretty fun. You'll have a good time. There were quite a bunch of celebs here, too, but I passed. Lou is about the only one I cared to meet since I would go crazy watching the Hulk series as a kid:D I also wanted to meet Mia St. John but I totally forgot that she was there:o

The guy has a store based in Georgia. Here's the copy of the receipt with the contact info. For any boardies that live in Georgia or within manageable driving time, this is definitely a piece worth picking up if they are still priced at $100. I thought about picking up a second piece, however due to the fact that this thing weighs about 60 lbs, shipping would be murderous.

WOW!!! $100.00 is a steal. GREAT Statue. The best statues they made of the movie.
Congrats on a fantastic haul.:D

Tell me about it, Mike. It was the best deal I've gotten thus far this year. I couldn't stop looking at it last night:o:D
