Well, yeah - of course it does. It's an update on what is now going to be the largest Transformers convention in the UK. US conventions of this ilk blatantly have third party items as exclusives from the get go so I don't get what the problem is. They get front paged. It's great news for UKers and helps raise the profile given this is a brand new convention this year and hopefully for many years to come.
Which Forbidden Planet has Manchester? FP UK or FP International? FP UK Stores list https://forbiddenplanet.com/stores/ FPI International Stores list Store Locations : Forbidden Planet Confusingly the UK one has the .com address and the international one has the .co.uk address! Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_Planet_(bookstore) for why there's two.
Yes, what beardy said is correct - I decided to leave it in here to raise the profile of the convention. As someone living in the UK, it's in my interests and everyone's interests that TFNation is the big success that it deserves to be.
I'd come to TFNation, but UK and Ireland are the only EU members that still require visas for Serbian citizens, and I'm simply not going to spend ~100 pounds on UK visa fees and processing fees and jump through the hellish administrative hoops. Write to your MPs and ask them to abolish visas and I'll see you next year
By the time TFNation comes around there's a good chance the UK WON'T be an EU member any more sadly :-(
If the UK vote does go for jumping out the door of the plane without a parachute the chances of what you are asking happening shift from unlikely to about the same as me walking down the road to the corner-shop and finding that G1 Unicron Proto sitting on a shelf.
Ah, gotcha, so the forbidden planet in Manchester is FPI and this is being run by Forbidden planet UK. That explains that then.
