Matt, looks like you might need to hire some muscle to keep some of the riff raff away.

Really bummed I can't make it to the show now, I'm a fan of your comics.

 

When do the schedules go up? I mean there is 10 days left and no schedule? Is that weird?

 

Schedule for D.C. is already up on their website. Since it's tentative, looks like some info is still TBA.

The current schedule is up and good news... * drum roll* ...you will get your wish. They are doing a screening of the 1986 movie.

 

The

Yaaaaaaayyyy. And looky there at 6pm. Fan meetup prescheduled. Love the sound of the John barber Qa and after party. The room to room trading sounds intriguing. We might have to bring our junker box to see if we can make some trades.


Can't wait. Really excited to see the bar Saturday night. Tf's and beverages all over. There is very little on that schedule that I wouldn't want to do. Wish I could get there for Friday night

 

Riffraff? Sounds like a Gobot.

 

Yeah I think it is, he turns into a trash can.

 

Hey, if it's alright I just have a few questions if I can get someone's help with? I go to a lot of cons, but this is my first TFCon, and I like to be able to plan things ahead, but lacking an experience with things, there's a lot I'm unsure of. So if it's okay, I'd like to ask for other's experience in a few areas.

- How painless or painful is the autographing experience, and what do I need to do to prepare to see someone? (Notably I'm most interested in David Kaye). Is it big enough that I should plan to be in line for a few hours, or is it smooth if I show up at a reasonable time prior to it starting? Do guests usually provide prints here, or should I look to bring something?

- Similar question in regards to artists, are commissions usually long (I'm assuming seeing Alex Milne's commission preorder, I feel like I may have missed them, or is that merely for pickup?) And how much can I expect to pay if I'm looking to get an original comic art page? I know sometimes certain artists sell them, but I know this varies greatly at times. Since Alex Milne is going I'd like to see if he's offering any comic pages, and I would like to plan to get one if I can factor an average price into a budget. But again, I know these vary. I've seen them go for anywhere from $80 to $800 depending on the artist, the page itself, and where it's being sold. (Would it be perhaps inappropriate to email him with this question to ask if he'll have something available?)

- I have a ticket for a custom figure class, but there may be a chance now that I will be unable to stay for the entire length (and that may depend on my interest in whatever figure is revealed for the class.) I believe I saw something that said no cancellations, but should things change for me, would I be able to merely take home the pre-customized figure that I would assume is already reserved when I paid for the ticket?

Sorry for all the questions, I just like to be thorough when I plan for cons. Hope to have a great time, and thanks in advance!

 

Autographs go quickly. They do signings throughout the day, don't sweat it. They normally have 8x10s bit not everyone does. Scope out th e table first. If you don't have anything there will be plenty of art prints for sale in artist alley.

Original Comic art is usually for sale. You're looking anywhere from 150-600, depending of its a page or a cover. Alex might take commissions at the con but you probably won't be getting it till well after the con if he does.

Custom class, you don't have to stay for the entire class. You can take the figure with you whenever you want, you paid for it, its yours.

 

Thanks a lot for each of that! Helps immensely.

 

Im going hope to see some old friends and make new ones. anyone have a spot in a hotel i may stay the night, also if anyone wants to do a trade let me know so i can bring some stuff
Not sure if anyone asked already but it will be my first tfcon any idea what vendors will be there?

 

Most likely TFsource, Stylin Online, and Chosen Prime. Maybe Captured Prey and Ages Three and Up along with some minor vendors.

 

As far as I can tell, it looks like the convention exclusives will be (as of this post):

MMC Shadow Ghost Calidus (Unconfirmed by likely?)
Planet X Somnus (Confirmed)
Maas Toys Volk (Confirmed)​

Does that look right or did I miss anything? What are folks interest level in these? Just curious.

 

I can confirm that Agesthreeandup will be a vendor. They're in my neck of the woods. Talked with the boss and fellow staff when I went there to pick up some of my orders in the past week.

 

Custom class figure revealed.

Now & Then will be set up with a couple of tables. We will also participate in room to room trading.

 

New convention exclusive announced:

2017 exclusive Ocular Max PS-06O Offroad

2017 exclusive Ocular Max PS-06O Offroad

 

has pricing been set on this?

 

I would have gone but have met all of the G1 voice actors who are going to be attending this, and if you have met a person once, I think its only natural for the desire to meet them again to not be as strong as before but if Jack Angel does attend something more local closer to me again in the near future, i'll either get Omega Supreme or Ultra Magnus signed by him, met Jack Angel back in 2013 and he signed my Astrotrain.

 

On my way to TFcon and wanted to let everyone know I'll be selling some of my customs this time around.

I'll post a flyer on the room to room bulletin board with contact information for anyone interested.
