    If this wasn't such a family friendly board, I'd put a whole line of expletives here. Some of which you don't even know exist.

    I went yesterday. Was pretty small compared to the LFCC, but most of the same stuff. Not huge amounts of TF's besides Spacebridge and random movie toys. I did pick up Reissue Grapple for £10 though. There probably will be a be more today and tomorrow than yesterday, but the reason I went was to meet Jewel Staite who was there on Friday and was probably less swamped with people than the rest of the weekend. I'm now 5 of 9 through meeting the full cast of Firefly.:D  so it was a very good event for me.

    It was pretty good. There wasnt much TF-wise as others have pointed out, but theres a lot of stuff regardless.

    One, I'll upload it tomorrow. It was a pretty poor custom really. The paint was really blotchy and you could see where the car was originally a different colour underneath the yellow.

    I went today, and now I think I need a backplate for a G1 Birdbrain's pretender shell (the one i found in the dealer's box of random stuff fit and has the right gun, but apparently isn't the right one). Picked up a few Minicons and a G1 Deco movie Jazz.

    Also ran into Jason Mamoa from Stargate: Altantis outside of the G-Mex. Nice guy.

    Hmm didn't see that Birdbrain shell and I went through all the TFs all the dealers had. Maybe he was just there today, oh well.
