Jan 26 OCC - your thoughts?
 

I wasn't able to come out to this one, and I missed October's (November's?) as well

Anyone who attended today's OCC (i know it's technically still going on), was/is it any good? Find anything sweet?

Con haul thread I guess - dealer's room & pre-arranges all count, sellers' experiences, go nuts!

My focus is was on Prime Wars and Siege figures so here goes...

October:
- Siege galore... and overpriced at that. I spent just $30 on basket toys for my two kids.
- Good attendance for both early and regular admissions.

January:
- This one seems to be Prime Wars clearance sales. Loose complete CW figures were selling for <$10 and voyagers (including red Prime and Sky Lynx) were <$15. MIB sets were <$100. Loads of TR and POTP loose complete/MIB leader figures selling for $30. Sellers were giving me 20%-50% off listed price as they "had trouble moving them". Brand new POTP P-CP and Siege Lancer were selling for $35. I used up all the cash I brought with me; good times!
- These discounts were all given to me during early admissions. I can't imagine what the discount would be had I waited until the end.
- Attendance was puny compared to October, which I was told was expected. My kids absolutely loved it.

How is the Star Wars stuff at these? I have some older Black Series I'm looking to get at some point and would rather not pay eBay prices.

I don't know much about Star Wars, but they have a very significant presence there from the 2 OCC I attended; almost all the cosplayers were Star Wars characters. However, it seems to me that OCC is a small convention, so what will be available at these quarterly OCC will vary greatly.

Ya it was a pretty good show. Didn't stay long but managed to pick up a couple things - MOTU Orko Funko Pop & Fat Bastard action figure. Thanks to the dealers & staff for putting on another great one. :)

Son 1 (7 yrs): Pokemon Swampert theme deck.
Son 2 (4 yrs): CW Sky Lynx <- he's been wanting this for months and pulled me to the table where he found it.

Yeah, thank you so much everyone at OCC.

We went fairly late in the day so it wasn't as busy but still a decent selection I found. I haven't been to OCC for a couple years and noticed this one had a bit more selection in TF's.

Had a pre arranged deal with a board member and when he saw it was for my youngest son he wouldn't take my $$ for it.

Bought a loose skids and when I walked by another table the person noticed we didn't have instructions for it and handed me an extra he had.
