Yes, Marauder will be "gun-running" at the con! The prior obligation fell through that conflicted with the con, so will be at the show. Almost missed the deadline (2 days to spare) for the con package & dealer setup, but all is good!

Won't have Series #5 in time for the show...but will be delighted to see all my fellow Joe enthusiasts! :-D

Too cool! Glad you can make it! Was about to place an order with you online but will wait for the con and buy it all there! So is there an "augment the convention set" for this year? Just wondering.

Hey!
Good question! I was thinking about the figures and how to "augment" them, but it is a little tricky. The BATS all come with their hand attachments (which have a machine gun, a flame thrower, a hand & claw). So would they need another weapon? Possibly something a little scifi-ish, like the NCM rifle, scifi blaster or go real world with a high tech assault rifle? The headhunter Stormtroopers could be a 6 man squad, and each armed with a different weapon (machine gunner, sniper, anti-armor, etc) or are they all "urban" type guys and all require the same weapon? The Headhunters already come with shotguns, do they need a shotgun upgrade, a different weapon or pistols? If there is a demand for a 2008 Augment set, will be delighted to come up with one (again, using your suggestions, just like the previous con Augment sets). Last year's con set had a wide variety of figures, each with a different role...this set has lots of the same guys with very specific roles. If Series #5 would have arrived in time for the con, could see using several of the new items in an Augment set (imagine the Bats with the Multi-shot grenade launcher, the Headhunter Stormtroopers with various versions of the Modular NVR, and the Headhunters with the MP7...oooohhhhh!). Thoughts?

Also, will have some "special value sets" at the con (similar in format to the current "Rifle Range", "Armor" & "Conceal Carry" sets),
