Hi everyone,
2 years ago I purchased a sword and shield from Forged Foam at Gen Con. My company, The Game Crafter, exhibits there every year and I was really hoping to get involved in some foam combat! However, I live in Kalamazoo, Michigan and there doesn't seem to be much around me. (I tried to connect with the group in Grand Rapids but to no avail) Long story short, I've given up and so I figured I would sell my unused equipment at Gen Con this year. I will be in Indianapolis tomorrow, Aug 3rd thru Sunday, Aug 7th. I would like to sell both items as a set on-site.
Here's the Forged Foam equipment I have to sell:

http://www.forgedfoam.com/?product=standard-round-shield
Cover Color: Black
Core: Regular
Diameter: 28 inches
Thickness: 2.5 inches
Weight: 6.5 pounds

The sword costs $48 and the shield is $65 on the Forged Form website. I think I got the shield for $62 and the sword for $45. However, I'm willing to sell them for $80. I could even throw in a little gift certificate at The Game Crafter if you like board games. Note: These have never been used in any sort of combat and were just sitting in my closet for the last 2 years. Hopefully you can put these to use and have fun. You can reply to this post and it will notify me or you can reach out to me on twitter at http://twitter.com/tavisparker. See you at Gen Con!
