Couldn't make it to this past weekend's SpringCon comic book extravaganza? Don't worry, I braved the geek masses and brought back these Instagram shots for you. A few thousand fans turned out to the annual two-day convention at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. Here's what you missed (starting at the top, from left to right):

1. Replica Boba Fett helmet, complete with battle scars. 2. Some guy dressed as Loki greeted the massive line of fans on Saturday morning. "I made it myself," he said of his costume. Compare with the "The Avengers" Loki here. 3. The scene inside the Grandstand, where middle-aged men fought for position to get the best back issues. 4. Here it is: A perfect replica of Luke Skywalker's lightsaber from "Star Wars: Episode IV -- A New Hope."
