Megacon 08

So I went to Megacon a few weeks ago. It's a convention in Orlando, Florida. This was my first time, and it was different because this was an all around geek convention, not just an anime convention. There were a lot more comic book superheroes and sci-fi people there. Also the population was much older, which was good for me. All my pictures can be found on my Flickr.
The best part was the FREAKING HUGE dealer's room. And so! I ended up getting three new Evangelion toys. I wanted to finish my Revoltech collection, so I got Unit 01
Photobucketand Unit 02. PhotobucketI got one of them at a real deal, too. The booth I got Eva 02 at had two women who were just watching it for someone else who had stepped away, and they really didn't know how much it was supposed to be, so they just threw out what they thought was a reasonable price, which happened to be $10 less than 01 had been. I wasn't going to argue with them. Thank you nice ladies. ^^

PhotobucketNow I'm really only missing Unit 00 to complete the set; however, I really really want to get the version of the mass produced with the Lance, and they also had a version of 01 which glowed in the dark! But I didn't get it because I wanted to finish my regular set first. (Probably be regretting that at some point.) The other Eva toy was a little bitty Sachiel figure. But I am leaving it in its box for now, until I can get a better display setup. I was scouring the place for a Venom, but no luck, unless I wanted to spend over a hundred. I'm not that rich. I'm trying to take about $200 to the next convention, and my list so far only should cost $50-75 so the rest is just impulse buy money. Woo hoo for irresponsibility!
