Just wondering if anybody else is interested in getting together in September or October? I'm willing to host it again. Plus, you guys need to buy more of my stuff! :p


UPDATE:
It seems that the best date is for Sunday, October 12th starting around noon. My address is:

14430 SE 61st Ave
Summerfield, FL 34491

Phone: 352-245-9778

UPDATE #2
I'll be selling a lot of my collection at the meet before listing what's left on ebay. I have stuff from 1982 on up.

Doah! I wish I could get down there for this!!

you know I'm down as usual. Also on hisstank.com there is a ton of guys and 1 girl from the Orlando/tampa area that we have never even seen at any of our other meets. We should try and combine the meet with them to get some new blood/stuff mixed in. I've met a few of them already and none of them even know that yojoe had a florida group get together. If we get a date/time set I'll post the info over there to try and get some new people involved.

I'd love to try to make it. I'm in Saint Augustine, so if it isn't too far of a drive, you can count me in. Just let me know where and when.

me and the jax crew are in lets get a good date together. Is a sunday cool?

If it's in October I might be able to make it.

So is a Sunday in October best for everybody?

thats good for me except the weekend of the 19th

How about October 12th? That way, we're not too close to Halloween.

The 12th works for me. Just keep me updated. THANKS!

I can probably make the 12th but I wouldnt be able to leave jax till about 11-11:30 though so i wouldnt be able to meet up till 1:30-2:00. if thats cool with everyone else.

I'm up for Sunday, Oct 12. Is that date ok with everybody? Don't worry, Jesus Mike, I'll try to keep some stuff set aside for ya! :D

I do a lot of Customizing and was wondering if anyone would be interested in a Custom Snake Eyes figure for this meet? (Kinda like the boys up in Canada do when they get together)) He will be dressed in his Florida duds, come with a custom File Card, weapons, and hopefully (Fingers crossed) His wolf. They would cost around $10 each. If you guys are interested let me know. I was thinking about making 10 of 15 of these. I have most of the supplies, and I should be able to crank these out before the meet. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks.

I'd be interested. That sounds darn cool!

Yeah, I would def want 1. I wanted to do something like this a few years ago but it didnt really take off very well. So I say do it up :)

This sounds like a Snake Eyes repaint I'd like to see. If I don't make it down can I have one shipped to me?

Nope, you have to be there to get it. So bring your *** down :)

Since I haven't heard anything to the contrary, then I'll go ahead and schedule the meet for Sunday, October 12th. I'll go ahead and post my info in the first post in the thread.

that sounds cool i should be able to make it.

I WANNA COME!!!!!

Oh wait, I have nothing left to sell ;-)

I'll be there in Spirit (so that should be your custom... a clear figure of ME!)

But you can always buy! :p

Just giving this thread a little bump! :)

I'll be selling a lot of my collection at the meet before I start listing them on ebay. So far, I've been listing newer stuff but after the 12th, I'll start listing older things. I have items from 1982 on up.

You going to be selling your figures?

You going to be selling your figures?

Yes, I'll be selling most of them, if not all. I'll probably be sorting through them up to the last minute. :D There's probably at least 400+ figures (the total number is probably higher). You've seen the many, many plastic containers that I have, Rich! :p

Man I wish I was able to be down there for this! Have fun guys! I wish I could make it!

I mentioned in an earlier post, that I may be able to make a custom figure for this meet. Well, it looks like It will actually happen. It will be a custom Snake Eyes figure. He will come with his wolf, Sword, Uzi, Backpack, and a custom file card commemorating the event. I'll have a picture posted on here soon (don't worry, it will be before the meet up) Now the only downside to this is the price is more than I expected. I was hoping to keep the price of the item and materials at or below $10.00, but it looks like I was wrong, they are costing me $15.00 for everything. And like I said, I am going to be selling them at my cost, so $15.00 for each one. It will be a first come first serve type of deal at the event. I should have close to 15 of these guys completed by the time the meet happens. I just hope I am making enough for everyone who wants one.

Anyways, I'm really looking forward to this event, and I can't wait to meet some of you in person. I can finally put a face to some of these screen names.

I should def be making it as well. I also have 1 or 2 guys from the hisstank board coming with me. And def put me down for one of the customs, maybe 2 :)

Hiya Mutt! I finally decided to sign up over here.

Hello everyone. I'm one of the guys from the 'Tank that intends to comeover to the meet this weekend. Looking forward to meeting more Florida Joe-peeps.

Here's a link to my wants list in case anybody might have something I need

How is it that I manage to always notice these meet threads shortly before the event? And how is it that Bill never tells me about them. Hmmm, Bill?? :)

This weekend is actually quite good for me. My wife just gave me a kitchen pass so I guess I will go. Of course, I am not looking to spend any money right now but I guess I could let a few bucks go. :) I'll be there. I might bring my daughter if she has any interest in going.

dang it, I was hoping you wouldnt see this. Oh well guess I'll stay home now.

You're not worth getting banned over so I will just save my special names for you when I see you on the weekend. :)

You two can settle your differences the old fashioned way -- with a knife fight in my back yard! :D

me and the jax crew are still undecided. we'll figure it all out tomorrow and let you know if were coming.

Well as of right now I'm planning to make the trip but who knows what can happen in three days. Do we need to bring anything?

Some rope and a couple of knives. Don't ask why. LOL

I am bringing some of the stuff on my sell list. Nothing special there but it is all I got to offer.

If anyone has one or happens to find one, I am looking for the new Wraith figure, standard version. Believe it or not, I got the variant in my case from BBTS today! That saves me a whole lot of hassle.

i am in need of night stricker parts to any one who has some please bring them to the meet. along with anything night force u may want to trade out or sell

What time does the meet start? I looked through this thread but I didn't see any specific time.

I guess about noon. If you show up earlier, that's ok. (Just don't show up too early! I'll be getting up at around 10). :D

Hey, remember, the last time I hosted and you all showed up early, I put you to work loading up the moving truck...

I'm sure Jeff can find you all something to do if you show up early.

That was a good time john! Me and the jax crew should be there around 1:00 this time, wish we could be earlier. see yall then.

Because HasbroToyShop's order processing sucks, I ended up with an extra Transformers Tread Bold (Classics Jetfire repaint) and Classics Sideswipe. If anyone has an interest in these, please post here or PM me and I will bring them. Otherwise I will just send them back. The price I paid was $36 for both so that would be what I am asking for. I would consider trades as well.

That is tempting, Firefox. But I must resist the urge. I put collecting any other lines on hiatus.
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

If anyone has vintage or modern Star Wars figures they want to bring my brother might be interested in them.

I have a few extra modern Star Wars figures to get rid of. I will bring them.

Heck yeah! I have about 20 or more tubs of stuff to move into the living room. Plus, I need to figure how to display my vehicles. (I have so many out that the couch and loveseat are covered as is my coffetable, dining table, and more.) I'll get up around 10ish and be presentable :D around 11.

If anybody needs my address and phone number, I've posted it in the first post of this thread. C'ya tomorrow! I'll be away from home until about 4 or so Sunday morning.

Thanks for having us over today. I had a great time meeting everyone and talking Joes all day. Can't wait until the next get together.

Thanks for hosting the meet, and thanks for allowing us 'tankers to participate. I had fun and look forward to meeting you guys in the future. :)

I'd just like to thank everybody for coming on over. It was a great time and I'm glad everybody enjoyed themselves. I'd also like to thank Yeti for his cool custom figure that he created for the meet. :) Awesome!

Anytime that y'all want to get together again, I'd be glad to host it. It's always good to be able to hang out and talk Joes all day. My collection has thinned a little bit, but I'm still surprised at how much crap I have. Guess that's what happens when you don't sort stuff for over a decade! :D

Also, thanks to Rich (Big Boa) for driving all the way down from Georgia. Sadly, the knife fight between Mutt and Firefox was postponed. :p

great event. We appreciate you letting us have it at your place Jeff. Good luck with selling the rest of your stuff. I hope we helped!

Sadly, the knife fight between Mutt and Firefox was postponed. :p

I brought my knife but Bill forgot his. I would feel bad for killing an unarmed man with a limp. :)

As usual, I had a great time. I hope to see everyone next time and maybe a few more that didn't make it this time.

As always it was well worth the trip. It was good to see all my old friends and make some new ones.
I'd like to thank everyone I bought from and traded with and special thanks to Jeff for hosting again and for taking the last $3 I had, I wouldn't have felt right if I would've walked out with money left:D

nice meeting you all.
turns out i didnt have a yo joe account.
but i made one :)
im the girl by the way. lol

I wouldn't have felt right if I would've walked out with money left:D

and I couldn't make it.... darn.
