My favorite part about this video is just seeing your guys in your natural habitat; driving, touring the Zach's house, bumping into other collectors, etc. I like the "a day in the life of a collector" content.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Glad you enjoyed it, Albert! -Justin

[@LandspeederLuke]

This was awesome. Y’all are going to look back on this memory for a long time!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

For sure! Thanks for checking it out. -Justin

[@NorskyWay]

This video was great!! The go-pro footage is nice and crisp, that drone footage is awesome, and it’s always tons of fun seeing you guys in IRL vlogs! The convention looked awesome too, I wish I’d been there!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I'm super satisfied with the GoPro footage! I'll have to get an external mic for next year. Appreciate your support as always, Norsky! -Justin

[@UsualmikeTelevision]

What a fantastic vlog. I'm happy to see all you guys having a great time! I wish I was there!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Appreciate you checking it out, Usualmike! It was a blast. -Justin

[@TheZooBoy111]

Great vlog, looked like a blast! Loved how Simon was down to talk about Max, and I was very interested to see that he prefers two limbed Max. Hope I could make it out to one of these conventions at some point, maybe next year! Glad you guys had fun! Sensual syrup pouring. Can’t wait to see the recent pickups on the stream as well!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thank you, Zoo Boy! I'm glad you enjoyed the maple syrup cam. -Justin

NEXT YEAR YOU GUYS BETTER BE THERE! -Justin

[@theperceptor9287]

Hello Nate and Justin and Zach great video of your Conversation encounters and tour. I miss convention outings, I enjoyed them for more than 2 decades. Unfortunately with my declining health and limited funds it's very difficult to get to them at this time. The last Con I went to was about 8 years ago, I picked up the Star Wars Black Series R5-D4 figure in package for $25. I was very happy because I couldn't get him anywhere except ebay for $50+ and I wasn't paying that much. It was great to see other KZbin persons there and some channel fans as well. You guys got to meet and got autographs from some fantastic people Max, Oola, and the Emperor himself. Can't wait till Sunday to see everything you guys got. I'm glad you had a fun trip and got to meet up with so many friends. Later, Tom

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Hey Tom! Appreciate you checking out the vlog. Wishing you good health. The Sunday stream is going to be absolutely jam packed! Can't wait. -Justin

[@Fig_Fury]

Looked like an awesome adventure! Glad you guys made a vlog of it and sharred it on the channel. Looking forward to the next stream to see all the pick ups.

[@theperceptor9287]

Hello David how are things going for you ? The wife and I are doing well. Reminds me of when I was going to conventions from my 20's till my early 40's. Unfortunately health problems and lack of funds made cons difficult to attend. It's been at least 8 years since I've been to a Con, I miss it. I've been to Cons in Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey because I live in that part of the US. The last Con was after the Star Wars 40th Anniversary because I picked up the R5-D4 black series figure in the package for a good price. I hope you are well and I'm hoping things with your daughter have settled down. By the way.... What is a Milf ???? LoL 😂😊

[@order66103]

Glad you all had a great time and got to all hang out together. We have Dallas Fan Expo on June 10th so super looking forward to that. If you all are ever able to come to Texas in June one year I’ll see you guys!

Looks like it would be worth a trip down. I'd be diving head first into all the 3.75 stuff with Nate mainly because I just don't see that stuff in person anymore.

Are there other cons on your list to hit up at some point? I've only been to the Ottawa Comic Con and I want to get to toronto fan expo. I'm not too familiar with all the US cons other than San Diego and some other big ones.

Awesome vid! Looks fantastic. I thought for sure Zack was going to be the tallest of the group he looks so tall in the Cantina vids I’ve seen. Cantina looks so organized and clean. Great finds. I’d pay $50 for convention padawan Obi Wan. I need to go to a straight SW convention. I haven’t been in over a decade. Back in those days I was making SW cosplay for my son. I just wore T-shirts and shorts. The SW conventions are very cool. Your videos showed no lines. It looked like the crowds were very manageable. Love the life sized props. Take care. I’ll catch vids later. Off to sunny Alaska. Daylight for days up there. Got my bear spray and hiking boots.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Glad you enjoyed the video, prophet924! Appreciate you checking it out. The crowds were definitely very manageable but it's important to remember the first day (Friday) was VIP & press only. Saturday was much more busy and had longer lines for the celebrity guests. Take care! -Justin
