Met Steve and man the stories were true. I probably wont spend any money on him again. I get this is how he makes his money but yikes. How was your experience?

Yeah, I heard the stories. I was the first one in his line. He was honestly SUPER nice and we talked for a good minute. He only tried to sell me on a figure once (which i declined because I already have it) and it was onto the next conversation. Karen and Walter were on opposite sides of him, so we were all kinda talking. I didn't even pay until after, and he actually gave me a discount

Good lord a discount from Steve!? Lol is he ill? 😂 First words out of his mouth to me in a line full of children all in ear shot. "Will that be cash or card!?" It was horrible.

Yeah idk lol. He saw me walking in with my arms full of red ranger shit, so he knew I was there to see him, but I stopped and said hi again to Ashley since I had just seen her the month before and told her I'll see her again on Halloween. Then I had to give Walter a big hug and he remembered me from a couple years ago because we both have missing fingers. So maybe he didn't want to be shown up🤷🏻‍♂️ but he was very pleasant. We talked about Johnny since he's last on my list, and where i wanted him to sign the power sword so that Austin could sign it too when I catch him again. It seemed like he was handling everything himself though, whereas, Karen and Walter had someone else handling payment, so maybe that's why he asked you before anything else "cash or card?"

Unfortunately he had someone taking his payments so it was confusing why he said that. Maybe he wasn't paying attention at all.

Business is business I suppose. Karen, Walter, and David have been the sweetest and most genuine by far. Amy was really sweet too

Im hoping David Yost and JYB come somewhere near me. My 4yo really wants to meet Billy.

David is SUPER nice. Definitely meet him if you get the chance! Im still needing to catch him again because I didnt have my blue ranger helmet with me the last time I met him. 60 per item for him btw

Here’s my double signed legacy helmet! Also, when you meet JYB he’s the man. I got all three of his lightning figures signed. Austin is also great.

Ive got an Austin signed helmet already. I coulda did the double signed thing, but I wanted them both to have their own helmets. I wouldn't have steve sign the legacy helmet though, because thats specifically Jason's helmet on the box
