    not attending

    I won't be there this time, guys. My apologies to Brandon. See you guys either next month or maybe later in the month if they plan something at Grey's.

    Tiny meet up was still a fun meet-up! Thanks again to Brandon for hosting and to Andrew & Gary for hanging out. Here is some of the stuff we were able to mess around with, like Daca Toys' Kronos.

    Kronos looks awesome..I just need to sell a bunch of figures/parts/accessories first, before I even think of buying him.

    Hey guys! I've got an idea I've been kicking around that I thought I'd throw out to the group. I know a lot of stuff is going on this month but we also have a 4th movie release for Transformers this month.

    I think it would be grand to watch it with fellow fans and friends. At Phoenix Comicon a few NEW TF fans approached the panelists after the panels and during chatter a few expressed getting together for a meetup of sorts to attend the movie together.

    Like it or not… we have a movie… some of us may not see it because it's Michael BAY… but I'm gonna see it… SOOOOO

    I propose the afternoon of Sunday June 29th to go and view said "Age of Extinction." I don't know times YET. I picked this day because it's after iCon which is Saturday, and I'd rather not plan something that would take TF fans away from the convention, and eliminate anyone from being able to attend who might be helping out there. I know movie times are reporting to be as early as late Thursday night, but some people have to work so the weekend seems like a good fit? A Sunday Matinee to keep the prices lower for those who don't want to spend TONS on a movie? (Especially a BAY movie. hahahah)

    I'm gonna suggest that we meetup say at the AMC Arizona Center 24 (565 North 3rd Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004) it's down the block from the Phoenix Convention Center, its centrally located, there are buses and rails nearby for people who may not have cars? I'll check out the parking situation.

    Does anyone want to see TF4 in 3-D? Thoughts? Yays or Nays?

    I love your idea about meeting up to go see Age of Extinction. Here is another idea/suggestion. What if we meet at the theater at Tempe Marketplace? Just a thought.

    Hey hey hey! SO next Sunday!! Transformers Age of Extinction! In regular viewing, matinee afternoon times to keep costs low for those with a tight budget. AMC Arizona Center 24 (565 North 3rd Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004) We've got two times:

    1:30 PM or 3:00 PM!

    Which do you prefer? I'm inclined to say 1:30 PM so we can meet up at 1 PM and get to the theater to purchase tickets and all.

    WHAT SAY YOU ALL?

    I say if you want to see it in 3-D maybe see it before Sunday on your own time?

    If you want why don't you arrange a meet-up at Tempe Marketplace? I'm not coming down that far from the North side of the city. But nothing says you can't arrange a meet-up for it for the South side TF fans. I would not be offended if you did. Phoenix is a HUGE city, multiple meet-ups even at the same time for a movie viewing seems reasonable to me.

    Technically, no one is supposed to use the Phoenix thread either, except to announce when and where meets are going to take place. Everyone from the East valley was already using the Phoenix thread, so they probably still prefer using that for chatting.

    This is the reason I wasn't in favor of starting another thread....all it does is create confusion. Personally, I think we should all stick to one thread, but that's just me :2c:  I didn't even realize that there were rules for each thread, lol.

    I was using the new thread to keep an eye out for meetup times, dates, etc. at Brandon's place, as I thought since it was listed as East Valley Meetups, that didn't include Phoenix.
