I'm about two decades late, but I finally finished my collection of European misprints from 2001.
The values of some of these have really exploded in recent years. Fortunately I got the two Kaukaus, which are absurdly expensive on BrickLink now, when they were more affordable so buying the last few that I was missing wasn't too painful.
I attended BrickFair for the second time a couple weeks ago, the first having been back in 2015. One of the things I remember most from that year was the heat and humidity. This time, believe it or not, east coast August weather was a welcome relief after spending June and July in the south of France.
I was extremely limited in luggage space, but picked up these goodies from the vendors:
And acquired these Kraata prototypes from a BZP member in a trade we planned in advance:
Always wanted to get this one! An exclusive to Woolworth's containing comic #13, a rerelease of Vakama in polybag format, and an infected Hau Nuva. I believe it was produced to promote the Mask of Light film. This was the only one I could find on the internet:
The box is opened, but at least that means we can have a look at the contents. I quite like the artwork on the polybag:
Also found two of the three trading card games from the early years. All six boxes are still seal
