    Awesome. I'll be there Saturday as well.
    Buzzbeak you should go, so we can finally meet up after all these years lol.
    I think I need to order tickets for Saturday today, because last year I went first thing in the morning and ended up waiting almost 2-3 hours just to get in.
    I got a few good deals on tfs there last year, let's just hope the dealers don't up the prices because the movie is coming out lol.
    I don't post on here as much as I used to, but it'd still be hip to meet up with you guys if you want.

    Sorry, but I’m not going to make it. I might have had been able to go Sunday but it didn’t work out.

    Look for a middle-aged scraffy looking Phillopino with a beard and glasses. If you see him (especially around any Transformers-ish), tell him Chris is stealing Meatball the next time he's at his place.

    Tf hunting seems pretty slim. Tempting Toys is there with a fair selection and Toy Fusion, but not a lot else...my only real toy purchases were a Revoltech Getter 1 and a set of Chasing Amy figures for Julie. If anybody sees me tomorrow I'll be in the tall white guy with glasses and a goatee in my Botcon '06 hat and a bright yellow Batman football jersey with black jeans. :)  Was in an Autobot jersey today, but got tired of EVERYBODY asking me about the movie (apparently the jersey made me the resident expert of all things TF movie...too bad I've been pretty good at avoiding spoilers...) I guess that bodes very well for the movie though...

    I'll be looking for a fairly priced MP Starscream, Mugenbine stuff, and maybe Macross.

    Picked up the lone BT Black Convoy there. Cost me a pretty penny though. :(

    Whaqt did you think of the....er....Spiderman 3 panel :banghead:  40 minutes about some penguins surfing then 2 minutes of Spiderman :banghead: 

    If nobody was there from the movie they should have just put the Spiderman trailer into "Trailer Park"...

    Yeah, that was BS. Although I did like the penguin thing (I love penguins) the thing just DRAGGED ON.

    But I was happy overall with the trailer. I was really hoping for some Q&A.

    300 teaser? AWESOME.

    One thing I thought was strange after getting home and thinking about it, I didn't see a single MP Starscream anywhere.

    I'm still stunned that the last thing I was expecting to be there (BT Black Convoy) was there.

    Oh, and one store had a lot of Revoltech Convoys. Didn't pick one up though.

    Yeah, the only toys I bought were Revoltechs (Getter 1,2 & 3 and Optimus :)  ).

    The trailer for the 300 was just great, REALLY looking forward to that and to Pathfinder (The Vikings vs Native Americans one...sounds like a football game, I must be going through NFL withdrawl :D  )

    I wish they had told people going in that the Spidey 3 team wasn't there upfront. I can totally understand if they got tied up in all the mad dash to finish the movie and couldn't make it...but everyone near me was double checking schedules and going WTF about Surfs Up. Didn't seem like a BAD movie...but too much info on the technical details for my tastes...and getting a few thousand comic fans rabid to see info on S3 but showing them penguins instead just seems like a REALLY bad idea. I'm surprised a lot of the crowd wasn't more vocal. (People in my area were actually speculating it was a ruse and we were going to get to see an early screening of S3 if we sat through Surfs Up...seemed like the typical "wait for the pay off" kind of panel...but NOPE...)

    I went to the 300 panel, that was awesome.
    The Resident Evil one was a joke, I can't believe that first fool who asked a question there. I was really hoping for them to talk a little about the movie, but everyone seemed hellbent on asking about the mummy and heroes....dumbasses...
    Surf's Up looks like a cool movie, but that dude was so damn boring...
    Spider Man 3 had like 2 or three new scenes added in, with that last one being the best of them all.
    I didn't stay around for the DC panel, though I wanted to.
    I picked up Classics Jetfire, and really wanted that Bandai 1/55 Macross jet with the armor pack that the booth near the entrance had, but someone beat me to its, which lead me to buy my two first Yamatos, the Super VF-1J and the VF 1-A (Hikaru version).
    There was a few tfs there, mainly reissues, and that one booth that was selling beast machines stuff.
    It was fun though, didn't get there after 2, so I missed the Trailer Park stuff. I missed it last year because it was on Sunday too.
    I really can't wait to see 300 though, that clip they showed was awesome.
