Exploring TOY CON NJ: March 2024

[@1969cougareliminator]

Great Video Jon! Thank you for sharing! You have my vote to do more of these since I live in an area where there aren't too many and I lack the ambition to travel far to attend one. This video was great for time/length and I enjoyed you showing stuff that caught your eye. Kudos to you for being able to walk away with your bank account intact. If I had went, I would have had to bought SOMETHING to justify the trip in my eyes.😇

I hear you. Sometimes it’s just getting out of the house, looking around at stuff in the real world rather than on a screen and meeting some people is all that matters for me sometimes. There’s always gonna be something to buy someplace

[@Necroscat]

It's like reliving that childhood where you always screamed to your parents to buy you every toy you see! Except you're the parent now & know that's just not possible... :P

Need so much control walking around these cons. You can empty your bank account in an hour if you’re not really picky.

[@TheNerdDAD]

Great video dude! Definitely nice stepping out and hitting the cons!

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

Yeah I got to a few a year. Love these cons. But they burn my brain out cuz it’s toy overload hahah I wanted everything and left with nothing hahah

I love going to the smaller shows. More likely that a vendor will work with you on the price. Not trying to screw them over but they understand what they have and will work with you.

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

I go to a few smaller shows a year myself. Some are great and others I find that most of the vendors sell funko pops. I like some pops but not 40 tables out of 50 hahaha.

Hey that’s my proton pack!

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

I really wanted to come home with that thing!

[@noddystv8861]

Looks like u had a great day out bud 🤙🏻❤️🤙🏻

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

Oh it was so much fun. Controlling myself not to empty out the bank account was the hard part but my wife was happy when I came home with nothing but a smile and fun day haha😁

That was the Hasbro Haslab Afterlife proton pack I wished I could have gotten one. But laptop & TV had other plans that I had to buy new ones after they both stopped working at the same time.

[@TheCollectorsOutpost]

Oh I know that feeling to well. Yeah I wanted to proton pack so bad but I truly just don’t know where I would put it. But it would make a great addition in the collection. It’s sooooo amazing looking. The used the a few Haslabs packs in the new movie. They didn’t even bother making new ones for some shots. I think that’s amazing that companies today are making such high quality products that they are just getting used directly in the movies

@@TheCollectorsOutpost I hope one day to own my first lightsaber. But the only way that will happen for me is to win one in a giveaway. But even then it be extremely lucky. Which I am not. 😔

[@Necroscat]

@@fredhollis3999Part of the memory of your first lightsaber is "I can't believe I just spent that much on this!" I felt kinda like you did & never thought I'd own a lightsaber but one day I just saved up enough money & bought a RGB Baselit saber & a simple one is like $125, $200 tops for a nice one. I still have my first lightsaber & it has a place on my wall amongst all my others. I still mess with it sometimes because it has so much meaning to me & it's just badass!!!
