Damn - was gonna mention Collectormania but someone's beaten me to it!! Just hope I can get to this next one, as I missed the last 2 events icon_sad.gif Plus, the shopping centre in Milton Keynes has a branch of Wagamama - so there is finally a half-decent place to go for grub!! laughlol.gif

just a shame the parking round mk is such a Starscream, but can stick up simple directions to the cheaper and free places if it helps. ( living just down the road at the moment so play in the centre fairly regularly )

do we get any coventions that have many transformers...also any more news on collectormania?
UncleJoe420
Have been to a few Collectormanias before, and they always seem to have a good selection of TFs - from G1 right bang up to date with Cybertron / Classics. FIngers crossed that, if I go to this next one, I can find a RiD Landfill set; missed getting one last time, and I'm kicking myself .. laughlol.gif

Who was at BotCon Europe 2002 in Cheshunt?

I came from the south of France with some fellows just for it. Took a lot of pics; couldn't buy anything though, had lost 300€ on a boxed Jetfire from the USA... optimuslaugh2.gif

(Have a look at my signature... I've just put this online. I count on you guys!)

yeah i was there ! was pretty good, bit small but met some interesting people, and im ashamed to say spent a bit too much on Armada stuff, that was all new and intersting at the time. was really friendly though, at the end of the day one of the european sellers was wandering around giving stuff away ( nothing amazing, i ended up with a ko g1 jetfire though. ) good day.
UncleJoe420
Will be going to Collectormania this time around (hopefully), so I will be keeping an eye out for any TF bits!!

it's a shame about conventions this year. transforce was announced and everyone wasn't that bothered because of auto assembely (excuse spelling) and then they cancelled that so there's no tf convention this year at all.

in responce to siburke's post, auto assembly has been cancelled this year due to the organisers being to busy with other things.

I'll probably be at the Milton Keynes one. Anyone else?
UncleJoe420

Given that Collectormania in November is a) in Manchester (10 mins on the train) and on the weekend of my birthday, I can say that I will probably be going to check it out!

Meh not much along the TF front, even Spacebridge didnt have too much that was interesting, did only make it on sunday but still, had a proto of Bulkhead from Animated he was showing off, and some convention pieces but none for that decent a price.so ended up getting Leader Brawl from Toys R Us instead, although did meet Chris Judge and Michael Shanks whilst having a cigarette, jesus does Judge smoke a lot. but both really nice guys.
