With only one month left before Fall In, things are starting to come together. We are starting to receive items back from our Volunteer painters and from gamers who are just donating painted items. This years event is shaping up to be a very successful one.

That being said we can always use more help! We still have lots of outstanding items being painted and we can always use more items to auction.

So I am reaching out to those of you who might be on the fence or have questions about support this event.

Please take a look at your collections and see if there is anything you no longer use in your games that you can donate to this cause. We will take any item from any scale, genre or period that you no longer need or use. The item will be auctioned or raffled off and all proceeds from that item will go to Toys for Tots.

If you have donated an items or purchased and items please chime in and provide feedback/endorsement. Anything we can do to raise more money is a good thing.

Thanks for your time.

Santa Moe

Moe, I do believe I can bring a lovingly unused force for the kids.

JJ, Thanks as always for the support!!

CL, You too!

PZIVH43, Can't wait to see them.


As with every year, we couldn't do any of this without your support.

Thank you,

(And keep it coming)

Moe….

Well, I have one unit for you for sure, already in my "to go" box….. unfortunately, I won't be getting the Pz IV platic unit done by then.

I did, however, give you folks the space, as requested right in front of the D-fink… it is for a great cause and this will definitely get you maximum exposure.

Have a Hirst Arts church built, painted and ready to go.

Moe the Great09 Oct 2014 11:29 a.m. PST

Dan,

That will be a HUGE help. People will get better access and viewing to what they are bidding on and can see all of the raffle items. (Even shorter people)

cepammi,

Your terrain is always a big hit. Looking forward to seeing this years creation.

Dear Santa-
All I want for Christmas is my…

Just to confirm that the promised portable hobby kit is complete and waiting for delivery to your booth.

Mike

Moe the Great09 Oct 2014 4:30 p.m. PST

Ho Ho Ho… Mike, you've been a good boy this year. Your hobby kit is a wonderful item for gamers and will do well!

If you still need them, I'll provide three or four Age of Honor rules books as always.

Ciao.

Chuck has painted something for this event every year that we have been at Fall in. He always comes through and never hesitates to help.

Thank you Chuck!!!!

TheKing3011 Oct 2014 1:06 p.m. PST

BTW Moe – There is a Hordes Trollblood that I forgot to send you. I'll bring it with me to Fall In.

chuck05 Fezian11 Oct 2014 1:17 p.m. PST

You're welcome as always Moe. Im happy to help.

I was going to get your stuff in the mail on Monday but I forgot that it is Columbus day and the post office will be closed. It will have to be Tuesday or Wednesday.

Moe the Great11 Oct 2014 4:10 p.m. PST

TheKing,


Thanks for the notice, and thanks for the figs! They are very nice and will do well..


All of these caring, supportive gamers make me feel good about our hobby.

Moe-
"All of these caring, supportive gamers make me feel good about our hobby."

What was it that P.T. Barnum said? Just kidding.

And don't forget yourself in this equation. Somebody has to be our "ringleader!"

Moe the Great13 Oct 2014 3:22 a.m. PST

Sometimes I feel more like the guy in the cage with the tigers.. ;-)

Or the last clown out of the clown car..

TheWarStoreSweetie13 Oct 2014 5:26 p.m. PST

I have terrain primed and being airbrushed. I have a set of Bones Townfolk ready to go.

Moe the Great14 Oct 2014 3:31 a.m. PST

Thank you Mrs. C. I can't wait to see your work.

Moe the Great15 Oct 2014 1:59 p.m. PST

If you're a Vendor who will be going to Fall in, please keep us in mind when you pack up for the Con. As always I will be by the dealer hall asking for donations for the Raffles.

Thank you all for your ongoing support!!!

Moe the Great19 Oct 2014 6:23 p.m. PST

Less then two weeks left! If you still have items you need to ship please contact me. If you're dropping off at fall in, I'll see you there.
