Well, I'm glad I made a post on the 3 & 3/4" contest, for I got about 8 e-mails from people saying they want to enter something. That being said, here are the rules for the competition: http://greattexasgijoeshow.com/Custom_Figure_Contests.html And here is the entry form: http://greattexasgijoeshow.com/Custom_Figu...Entry_Form.html Fill em out and send em in to me! Thanks again. Greg

Unfortunately, no. We extended an invite to the International G.I. Joe Club to attend and man a booth, but due to a conflict in schedule, they won't be there, boothwise. I was under the impression that either Brian or Lanny would drop by the show for a few hours, but it was more of to check things out than to promote or inveil anything new. Woulda been nice though. Greg

Hey all, FYI that as of today, we have zero submittals for the 3 & 3/4" custom figure competition. We need at least 5 competitors in the event to make it a go. Personally, we think the prizes are pretty good: 1st Place: G.I. Joe Collector's Club Exclusive figures, Munitia, Lt. Falcon, Airtight, & Cobra Night Viper 2nd Place: Cobra Arctic Assault Squad Set If anyone is interested, please contact me at gbrown@whidbey.net. Need to know something in the next five days ot we'll need to cancel the 3 & 3/4" competition altogether. Thanks, Greg Great Texas G.I. Joe Show V www.greattexasgijoeshow.com

I can't speak for the other dealers, but I know that Cotswold Collectibles will be able to accept most all major credit cards. In fact, they'll be dabbling a little in 3&3/4" by offering the Cobra Arctic Assault Squad - just for the show. Greg Great Texas G.I. Joe Show V www.greattexasgijoeshow.com

Info for 1:18 Scale Figure Contest http://greattexasgijoeshow.com/Custom_Figure_Contests.html The more the merrier. And don't sell yourself short on your handiwork. One competitor almost didn't bring his work at last year's show because he felt it wasn't contest-worthy, and he ended up placing! Thanks, Greg The Great Texas G.I.
