Thank you, Eddie!

Man, what an awesome experience. I'd really like to attend but I'm pretty far away out here in SoCal. Love the pickups and you meeting your bros. I could really get into vintage Action Man. A buddy of mine from Scotland had some when we were kids. I always wanted to collect.

[@vincentchiriaco7637]

Looks like a good lot for the right price! Some folks would call you crazy for driving so far for a toy show, but they just would never understand 😂😂😂

[@GIDOJO]

Yeah, this go round, I ended up paying for gas and entry just for the experience really because my daughter was so excited to go 😁 glad to finally meet you in person!! Thanks for the comment

[@ActionJoeFigs]

Glad you went Mike. It looked like a lot of fun. I can’t wait for DFW show since it’s here in Texas.

[@paulknappcollections]

So cool finally meeting you bro

[@GIDOJO]

Yes dude it was amazing! 🤩

[@skunkworksstudios]

Great video! I hope I can make it there eventually!!

[@GIDOJO]

Oooh yeaaa! 👌🏻 I know it’s a long haul.. if not Atlanta, then we’ll meet eventually at the Kentucky show or somewhere 💪🏻

Currently debating on doing the drive for Joelanta in Sept from Tampa. Sounds like the drive wasn't too bad, for me it would be 7 hours though which feels just like on the edge of fly vs drive though of course then car rental, etc. I think if I will do it I will possibly end up staying the night just to break it up.

[@newbiemodder]

Good stuff!! 🤟🤙🖖

[@GIDOJO]

Yes, Thank you!!

[@TheBigbossjack]

dude it was a dream come true meeting paul and seeing all those joe's!🤩 i scored a 155mm howitzer cannon in the box for 75 bucks 😁 i'm still in shock lol i've got it put togather and it is huge and awesome! thanks for putting that pic of me and paul in the video 💚 and i hope too get too meet you at joelanta!

[@Raycheetah]

Sounds like a great time! A fine haul, and it doesn't sound like you at all regretted your daughter twisting your arm a li'l. =^[.]^=

[@GIDOJO]

Haha she was dead set on going. I told her heck no for like a week for a multitude of reasons but it all worked out absolutely perfect 🤩 it would’ve only been better if I sprung for a room, brought my wife, got to meet Big Boss Jack and if you and a few others could have made it! 😁

[@Raycheetah]

@@GIDOJO You say there's a Joelanta event in August*... Might be worth a drive over. Gonna haveta do some research on that one... =0[.]o= *ETA: The site says October... Might still be doable... Hmmm... =0[.]o=

[@GIDOJO]

@@Raycheetahoh man it was august last year… kind of a bummer because Angelo is only available during summer vacation due to being an educator. I’ll still most likely go 👌🏻

[@Raycheetah]

@@GIDOJO My wife and I'd have to make a day trip of it, since we have critters to feed at home. Keep us posted on your plans, and we might come say howdy! =^[.]^=

[@NickDoobs]

Those Strike Force figures are so cool.

[@GIDOJO]

Seriously they are!! I regret not picking up a few more

[@NickDoobs]

@@GIDOJO Yeah, I looked at them long and hard and didn't pick any up. Was very tempted but I was trying to avoid a new rabbit hole.

[@volkswag12]
