    I love Kei Zama! She’s probably my favourite transformers artist of all time!

    Have you seen her injector sketch? She’ll make anything terrifying.

    Just pre ordered the exclusive book that homages the old Ladybird series. I still have them all bar the Movie.

    Didn't think I'd make the convention this year but I just booked everything today.

    I can't wait for it now. Looking forward to catching up with friends I've made at previous conventions.

    A mate has just had to cancel his Saturday night Hilton room at TF Nation, so there may now be a room available at the convention rate should anyone require it!

    Free if you're staying at the hotel. Otherwise... uh.

    Website says £12, but doesn't specify if that's all day or not... I assume it is.

    Does anyone happen to have some spare Reprolabels faction stickers?

    I've got a guy 99% done for the custom figure display at TFN, but Toyhax's UK shipping isn't fast enough to get a Decepticon symbol before the con and he just doesn't look complete without one ; _ ;

    A quick heads up that the trains from London to Birmingham this weekend are severely messed up. Euston station is going to be completely shut, so no trains will be running in or out of there either Saturday or Sunday (travelling up on Friday will be fine).

    Your best bet is to go from Marylebone, go up to Birmingham New Street, and then change for a train that stops at Birmingham International.

    More information here.

    Car parking is over £15+ a day if you aren\'t staying at the hotel while its £12 a day if you stay at hotel no free parking other than just 15 minutes. (a day being 1300 - 1300 only if you stay after 1300 you have extra £5 to pay)
