[Groop] Groo Game at Cons

Mon Mar 12 10:05:54 PDT 2007

I'm going to be taking orders for magnets, I might as well take orders
for Groo: The Game, assuming he still has them.    Sergio sells it at
the list price:  $16.00.  $8.00 for the expansion.  -Gary G.

Groo Game at Cons

I'm trying to find a set of the game cards for a friend of mine, a few
people from the Groop have been trying to help me out, but we haven't
had a whole lot of luck.  

When's the next con that Sergio is attending?

Hi Tone,

I just wanted to say a huge "thankyou" for this lengthy post. Being what

you would consider a newbie, I'm completely and utterly hooked and doing

my best to get what Groo comics and merchandise I can.

The biggest stumbling block so far is the postage/shipping; t-shirts, 
posters, statuettes and some of the rarer TPBs are unbelievably
expensive 
to ship to the UK.

I'm quite chuffed with myself that I managed to get a copy of the game 
plus expansion for 40 pounds (80 dollars) and a bunch of the GNs. I'm 
currently addicted to Groo and don't mind admitting it. I'd love to get
a 
t-shirt and poster, but time will tell.

So yeah, I'm grateful for your lengthy post, Tone, thanks.

Any other fellow UK Groopies here?

Cheers all,

H

I got both from Sergio for about $20, and he autographed the Rufferto

Sergio still sells both of them at his table at conventions.
He had them at Wondercon this past week.

Tone sez:

	"Hopefully without sounding like I am post padding" 

Post padding is like bra padding, but less disappointing when you open
it up.

Hello,

I'm a Grooper from Germany, and Gary once sent me a few of those
posters. I still have some! It would be easy and cheap (2 Euro) to send
one from Germany to UK - just send me your address.

PS: Anyone else in Europe interested?

Best regards,
Martin.

Hi Gary,

If it's not too selfish to ask, I'd absolutely love one, please. I'm a 
relatively new Groopie who's just nuts about Groo. I just bought the
game 
plus expansion off Ebay for 40 pounds (80 dollars?) and am buying
anything 
I can get my hands on.

I'd be MORE than happy to send you some cash via PayPal or something to 
cover postage.

Cheers,

H
