Eric So not bad, just ML 2 good

I'll be at work that day otherwise I'd go hang out.

- boooooooooo! Thats MY usual excuse. Sorry u cant come along Chris.

Oh - and forget Eric So's Hellboy - give me any 12" figure anyday - they RULE super hard!

thinking about it, but i kind of want to hit up the long beach antique market... we shall see..

If you're going to be that close you might as well go.

well i wouldnt be sure if i'd make it by noon.. and i do want to go to the Lb antique market at 530am.. but idk.. not solo atleast

You should just come up for the trade fest. Long Beach flea market isn't that great. Just go to PCC flea market (every first sunday) or Rose Bowl flea market (every second sunday) I always find better stuff at those ones.

pcc?

Pasadena City College

Man, we need to start a flea market thread. I haven't been to any here in LA. I used to go all the time when I lived in San Jose and then Kansas City. I'd find the weirdest shit.

Just go to the Melrose Trading Post. Only 3 blocks from TAG.

It looks like a bust because it's not about the toys. We get together to meet the new boardies, catch up with the older boardies, and just hang out. I spent more time talking to Len & Jan, Jeremey, Dean, and everyone else talking about what's going on with their lives than what toys they brought. That's how it's done.
If I make it down there (and I doubt it cause I have to coach all weekend), I'd just go to meet up with Carl, Connell, and the rest of you guys.

I did find some cool vintage David Weidman prints there. His nephew, or someone related, was selling them.

Did you hear that Bert? That's because the comment went over your head

Okay, i dug out a pretty healthy pile of stuff.

so what is the etiquette at these things? Do you just put everything out there and start horsetrading, or is it a secret santa deal? Edumacate me.

I was wondering the same thing.

I'm guessing people make piles of their stuff, followed by lots of toy fondling/oogling, and if you're interested in trading you talk to the person about trading.

I was also curious about people's thoughts on bringing "show off" toys. There are a few toys I've never seen in person that I'd like to. A 2 headed Bemon, a Zollmen Demeking, Pushead Wing Pirate, Gorilla Jyu, and Anraku Drunk Boy to name a few. I don't know if this is too much to do since we're already bringing toys to trade, what are everyone's thoughts? Or maybe everyone already has those in their trade pile for me to check out.

TAG put a big table, we put some up for trade, then a bag under table for back up. just as Paul doing in show. Grab something out & ask "Do YOU want this?"

Well, there will be none of that with my stuff. Just some eyebrow lifting, mouthed WTF and confused looks on peoples faces. Maybe the occasional tossing on the ground and stomping atop.

I have a Demeking I can show you David. Want me to bring it?

^ Yes, if you don't mind bringing it along. I know it's a bigger toy to bring. Anything you want to check out that I might have?

Sure thing! I can't think of anything I would want to check out besides maybe your ghetto booty.

OMG! Liquor, ghetto booty checking, and toy piles. This may turn out to be quite festive.

I'm thinking of bringing along either Margaritas, Sangria or just a plain old bottle of Svedka?

Does the majority have a preference?

The first two I make from scratch...

i imagine some hennessy
