Back over at JoeCustoms once again, Kamakura has posted a spoiler-tagged post revealing what the listings are for the JoeCon2010 exclusives!
I’m going to put the list after the “read the rest of this entry” link below to avoid spoiling anyone… prices are included for folks as well!
(more…)
Well, I leave for Providence in… about 16 hours. The plan, as always, is to cover the convention as heavily as I possibly can. I may not always get the first news, but I will try my damnedest to get the best quality pictures I can, and try to get as much pure information as I can.
As an FYI, I am officially covering the Convention as a representative of YoJoe, so that images will initially be posted in their Convention Galleries, but they will also be mirrored here, and I will endeavor to interface with the GeneralsJoes readers as much as I can.
Hopefully everyone else is looking forward to Convention weekend as much as I am! See you all from Providence!
Coming somewhat out of left field just a week before the Convention, the G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club sends the following email with a picture!
“This year, Hasbro is sponsoring a private parachute drop for school kids to help promote the convention locally.
Since Hasbro knew that the venue was not accessible to attendees, they wanted to make sure you were a part of this great event by giving you one of the limited edition Flint figures that will be used at the drop.
These will be handed out to everyone with a convention badge who attends either of the two presentations given by Alan Hassenfeld on Friday morning in the Narragansett Ballroom at the Westin.
The first presentation will be at 8:30am and the second one will be at 11:30am. No seating will be allowed after 9:00am and 12:00pm.
The first Hasbro tour group’s presentation will be after their Hasbro tour while the second Hasbro tour group’s presentation will be before their tour. Don’t be late! No seating will be allowed after 9:00am and 12:00pm. Figures will be distributed at the conclusion of Mr. Hassenfeld’s presentation are are allocated one per attendee. Thanks to all of the fans who sent in questions for this once-in-a-lifetime event!
Here is “Paradrop” Flint!
See you in RI! – Brian”
Thanks to the GI Joe Collectors’ Club for letting us know that the full schedule of events for JoeCon 2010 has been posted to GIJoeCon.com! Click here to check out the full schedule of events.
It looks like the Hasbro, IDW, and GIJCC Seminars will be at the following times:
Don’t forget, though, there will be tons of other terrific looking panels and seminars, including some great retrospective on A Real American Hero, early Adventure Team, etc.. for a full rundown of what each Seminar contains, click here. Personally, I’m really excited for Mark Bellomo’s presentation, describing the steps of producing a Filecard back in the 80’s. I think there will be some awesome information to be had here.
JoeCon 2010 is coming! Hopefully I’ll be seeing you in Providence!
For those of you attending the convention we have had a slight change in the program for the Awards Dinner on Saturday night:
Due to Rhode Island state laws (previously unbeknownst to us), we cannot host a Casino Night charity event. However, we have decided to go ahead with a charity auction, only this time, you will bid with real money not gaming points. You will be able to check out with cash or with credit card at the end of the auction.
We will have many different lots for you to bid on, and the proceeds for the evening all go to Cook Children’s Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas. Our goal is to raise at least $4,000 from this event. Together we can do it!
Dinner will be a sit down affair and we encourage you to dress in your favorite G.I. Joe costume or business casual (no t-shirts, please). We will have the Disguise Costume Contest parade where the winners will receive CASH! The audience will vote for the winners. Prizes are as follows: First place $300, Second place $150, Third place $75 and there will be two children’s winners that will receive $50 each. Thanks to Disguise for sponsoring this evening of fun! You must wear your name badge to gain admittance. All events for the evening will be in the Narragansett Ballroom at the Westin.
The Costume Contest will occur after the dinner but before the auction.
