Last weekend I took a little mini-vacation to go up to a brony convention up in Knoxville. I've wanted to go to one just to see if it's something I'd be interested in, and since this one was only a three hour drive and I knew people I could split a room with, it was the perfect opportunity. I could even get my registration fee back by volunteering, so it wouldn't be too much money.
I wasn't exactly sure what to expect in terms of what the vendors had, but I figured it would mostly be fan-made stuff, and if I was lucky, they'd have some toys I'd want. Well it must have been my lucky day Friday, since while I was helping the vendors move their stuff into the hall (which was super easy since it was like 75% plushes), I came across one box with some MIB early G4s. As soon as I could get some time from helping set up the stage, I went straight to her table and got this.

Another pleasant surprise was that I saw someone else from the Arena there. It's always great being able to talk to other collectors in person.
I also had fun at a Q&A panel with Prince Whateverer, one of the few brony musicians who does rock/metal, which is probably why I've actually heard of him. Apparently, he was into the G1 cartoon when he was young, and there was a short conversation about how dark the G1 cartoons got.
I also feel the need to share this
