| TFcon 2009 Date Update: Now TWO Days - April 25th AND 26th |
| Posted on 11-10-2008 at 08:00 PM by Super_Megatron | | The TFcon website has been updated with an addition to the 2009 date. To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Transformers, Canada's 8th Annual Transformers Collectors Convention will return to Toronto at the Doubletree International Plaza Hotel Toronto Airport for a 2 day event on April 25th and 26th, 2009. Both days will feature unique programming and different dealers. As past attendees are aware by the end of the day many dealers are sold out, so in order to fill the void the second day will feature, in addition to Transformers, other 80s toys such as Star Wars, GIJoe, WWF, Voltron, Star Trek, He-Man, Thundercats and Super Heroes etc. Visit www.transformerscon.com for further updates as the convention draws closer, you can also RSVP via Facebook for the event.

I fail to see what that has to do with your attendance at the convention.
Or rather, I'd prefer not to.
MetroBoy:
So.... uh... when is BotCon? That's what I'd like to know.
GogDog:
Maybe Vangelus will have this years TFCon videos up by then.
Eh, who am I kidding.

Aernaroth:
I got a dealer table a few years ago. Was treated very well by the staff and the organizers, did very well at the show, and had a great time!
Railguard:
Wow, that sounds great!! Now all I need is a better paying job and I can actually go to these things.
Sage o' G-fruit:
So is anyone I know going?
Big Filipino:
Has it always been the case in year's past that to pre-register you need to mail a money order It just seems a little odd to me.

Rikotron:
It's a shame that the ad in TOYFARE magazine, i.e. a magazine about toys, shows Prime so mistransformed that his shoulders are rubbing against his metallo-balls!
Shame...  SPLIT LIP:
Damn, I can't go this year either.
I'm never going to get to go to TFCon. Then again... I'm not sure what I'd DO there.

Blitz.:
I like how that pic of prime looks like they have ripped his arms out of his shoulder sockets

| Awsome, just like the Toy fair I always remembered.
Protoman:
Whoo!!! We are #1 ^_^
RodimusDawg:
I want to go but I've been told by numerous people that frequently cross the border that you don't need a passport to go in. But to cross back over into the US you do. Can anyone confirm this?

Victorysabre:
Have been to Botcon 97, and every "official" con from 200 on, I was sad that I couldn't go to BC this year. But now I'm going to TFCon and it makes me happy inside. Yay! Can't wait for that confirmation.
So what's attendance usually like at this shindig? And uh, that website could use an update. :-P Think I'll enter the 3D art contest with some of my repaints.
PyroniusRex:
Still upset that's not going to be at Botcon...
Protoman:
Be there people! I will be a host of many of the panels too!
Superquad7:
I really wished I could attend. It looks to be so much fun!
For those of you going, have a blast!  kamtimus_prime:
Hey just to put this out there, I was surfing ebay today and saw the Powered Commander upgrade kit for $250 + shipping. The seller said there was over 10 available. I really want one  but it is to rich for me, guess I'm stuck with just the City Commander Kit. 
Just go to ebay and search TFCON
Alex5:
That thar Powered Commander armour looks better every time I see it, no surprise it's already marked up to $250 on eBay. That is how you do an exlcusive figure  thenatureboywoo:
I'm wondering in the dealer room, can you find just about any tf a person could be looking for? And also how far by car is Toronto from Niagara Falls?

Fairlady_Z:
I'M GOING! Finally got aproval for time off from work! But it sure is closer to get to than BotCon for me this year. 'Bout a six hour drive for my family. We'll see some musicals while we're up there too, Jersey Boys looks good. YEA, I'M FINALLY GOING TO SEE DAN GILVEZAN!
My favorite characters have always been Bumblebee and Hot Rod/Rodimus. My collection has a shelf dedicated to each of them.
Paul Dobson, Bumber Robinson, and now Dan Gilvezan down, Dick Gautier to go!
Automorpher:
50% SOLD?? 
Man, I just hoped that the remaining stocks goes around the world so that I can "welcome" 2 of those into my home.  |
