    Milne lives in Canada, and Roberts lives in the U.K. I don't think either has the time to travel all the way to the IDW offices just to meet some fans on a tour of a building they don't actually work in.

    I don't think that is how this works. I'm pretty sure Roche and Roberts rarely appear in the states regardless of what goes on at whatever con is going on.

    Milne was just at C2E2 in Chicago last month.


    Roche has been in Chicago more than once in the last two years.



    THIS is supposed to be a treat for fans of IDW's Transformers comics. Yet, they have no one to represent their most popular series, More Than Meets The Eye. Not mention no one from LSOTW, which is the prize for one of the 3 packages. Its totally crappy, especially at $500.

    Even more importantly, SDCC is two weeks away from Botcon, don't you think they could have gotten their "stars" to attend two events, and bring more marketing to IDW?

    Sorry, BotCon & IDW -

    too little, too late - and too expensive.

    I'm canceling my Primus set this week: thanks to sequestration, I'll be having 1 or 2 unpaid days per pay period until at least 30 Sept. Add in airfare, hotel, food & that ppl apparently don't want the toys (so no flipping for profit) and no GoH I'm that interested in = no go.

    Pity they waited until today (6/5/13) to announce Gen. Morshower

    I think it's a computer program that automatically fills in the pages with colors with no input or direction from a living person
