Anyone reading this from around the Wasatch Front? (Near Salt Lake City, for the rest of you.) There's a local GI Joe collectors group that has monthly meetings. I have a few Joe's in my collection, but nothing like some of these guys. It's a fun monthly meeting; bunch of nerds talking about nerd news, and action figures, and there are a few customizers so we always spend some time talking customs. We set up foldout tables, people bring boxes and bins of figures (packaged and loose), vehicles, parts, accessories to sell or trade. Not all of it is Joe and Cobra; I've found great Star Wars figures and parts. It's rad though; people remember what you were asking about last time, people help each other find things, and people do each other favors. I've regularly seen someone bring a figure or part for someone, hand it over, and say something like "that's for that thing you brought me last month". No one is really there to make money because the relationships helps all of us. It's really fuckin' rad. anyway our monthly meeting was supposed to be today, but of course we're all home social distancing. A couple days ago one of the guys in the group gave did a random-giveaway on the FB group; some pretty cool GI Joe prizes out of his collection because he likes the group and he's bummed we're not getting together this week. So I copied him; I slammed this Marauder Frank Castle together and did a random giveaway in the group.
Anyway, if you're reading this, and you're living along the Wasatch Front you should send me a PM so I can send you details about this group.
