We met him once in our several trips, it was December 2014, and he was very rude to my son who politely walked up a(fter just seeing him trade with another boy) and asked if he could please look at his pins. He rudely said "No! I am not trading any more today!" and kind of shooed us away. It left a very bad taste in our mouth being the first time we'd ever met this character so many speak so highly of. If he kept on treating people the way he did my son, I'm not surprised his contract wasn't renewed.
