Organizing the ticket for myself at the moment and have another friend who's looking at going as well.

It's around school holidays so hopefully can use the frequent flyers. :D

Nice win on the Tractics by the way AdderMcOne.  

Hey I heard that if you soak a woodgrain Tractics box overnight - by the morning you can peel the labels off (and then with a bit of careful photocopying, voila! another early D&D set  :wink:  :D )

Thanks, the guy in his comments said the price was high but it isn't going anywhere so not really a worry.

With soaking the box, only problem is the box looks like S#!T. (after it's been that long in the water)

You could always stick the box in the oven / clothes dryer afterwards and shrink it for that extra, extra rare minature version boxed set. 8)  :lol:

Just realized.

The GenCon Oz won't be on until 2008 (now?) - mis-read it before as being 2007.

Will have to reschedule the flights  :oops:  :oops:

Just put aside a little bit of your Xmas bonus. You'll still have plenty left.

Cool. If I am still in Australia at that time, I may try to make it. I have not been to a convention since being a regular participant in Cancon from about 1982-1992!
