DC/Marvel Penguins for sale at Big Apple show

I was thinking about that, however I wanted each of the new owners to be the first ones to touch them (besides Sean)

I had envisioned a chess board with Penguins on it.

Not too mention my wife lost our digital camera and we're waiting till Christmas to purchase another.

Sean did mention if you had any problems with them such as defects to let him know. In the mean time however, I did open the box top and take a peek to ensure there were no broken pieces.

Also got to meet Rufus and Brother J who seem like very cool guys. Sorry I couldn't hang around tonight, but NY was just a day trip from CT and my friends needed to get home to take care of the kids. Still, a pleasure meeting you guys.

My opinion on the show: Terrible. Sean was surprised I only spent a half day there, but it was closer to a $10 show than the $20 they charged.

Good news is the Javitt center show is in Feb this year

Glad to see you had a good time, despite a mediocre show. And meeting people from this board has always been a good thing, as far as I've seen.

Penguins are in the mail

If you gave me more for shipping than I spent, I'll be sending you refunds via paypal tonight, be on the lookout.

Thanks dude! I purposely sent you an extra $10 plus for your troubles. No refund please. Besides paypal takes another cut on the way back, I would rather have it go in your pocket than theirs

Im pretty sure I do not have any left over money, but if there is....I do not want it back.

Thanks again Mike

You're taking it back =) I really don't want to profit at all from the favor.
Use it towards the secret santa gift if anything.

The penguins are actually smaller than I had thought. I didn't know what to expect . . . I was thinking I might need an entire trunk to fit them all

Look what arrived today!

1 down, 1 to go !

Thanks a bunch Mike! I really appreciate it! You're a swell guy

He was actually bigger than I thought he would be

This little guy is awesome. Even if you don't like Moon Knight, I suggest you pick him up. I think he's the coolest of the bunch

Glad to hear it arrived safe and sound. I sent the money back via "refund" function where they pass on taking the fees

VEI Reborn · Post by **VEI Reborn** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 7:16 pm

All mine arrived [minus the surfer we know about] and I plan on taking a group pic tomorrow.

Awesome Guys

I'm a believer in Karma, yesterday I was able to find one of three last books I needed to finish my VH One set (minus non price variant newsstands).

I'll also add that I haven't been the most pleasant person my whole life. My job in financial services is stressful and often that plays out in my social life. I used this penguin roundup as a turning point in my life to start being nicer to those around me and really take in the true meaning of life.

The following story really touched me, if you have 5 minutes I highly recommend that you read it. It's about Bear Bryant for those that have interest in football and how it pays to be nice.

Hey guys can you post pics of the different penguins you got. I'd love to see them.

Dagnabit! I wish I had seen this posting a couple weeks ago. I really wanted a Captain America and moon knight penguins!

Well maybe next time. Congrats to all who got new penguins

I still think we need a green lantern penguin

You have to meet with Sean Chen at a con to get the non-VALIANT penguins (and tell him in advance which ones to bring.)
