orangerfulJust got back from another fantastic Summer Social with the DCSWCC (that's D.C. and metro area Star Wars Collecting Club)! Beautiful day today, just the right temperature and a bit of a breeze. Everything went smoothly. I had a yummy burger and hot dog and got to chat with all my Star Wars buddies. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jimithingy came with me so I got to show him off. :D I wore my "White and Nerdy" t-shirt, which was a big hit with everyone! AND managed to get some toys that I did not already have in the Sarlaac Swap and member raffle (my bag got an honorable mention!) -- I got the comic book set with Obi & a shock trooper and the one with Quinlan-Vos and some EU guy I did not know, and the ESB commemorative tin figure set (though I will probably ditch the figures as they are repacks, but the tin is pretty cool!). And, of course, a new club patch, cardback, and badge for my lanyard! All in all, a very good day, full of great people and good times. And the hour+ drive out to middle-of-nowhere Maryland was actually really nice!
And I just pre-ordered the BSG Chief Tyrol figure from Time & Space Toys so I'm getting him for sure! I did the whole $100 gift certificate + free toys route - bonus was they are having a free shipping and 10% off in stock sale this weekend - so I bought one in stock item ("Hush" Gentlemen minimates to terrorize my other buffy minis), then I got 10% off that, and then I was able to pick 3 free buffy figures! I'm going to save that gift certificate for the next wave of BSG figures or minimates.
