Well as was already stated, Menasor was sold out for Friday. There will be a limited amount for Saturday and perhaps Sunday. They made a crucial error when they had a limit of 4 per badge. I asked one of the exhibitors if they knew that this basically catered to eBay jerks that had no intention of doing anything except screwing collectors, and his only response was that they "hoped to learn from their mistakes". So now all of the exclusives are one per person. Hopefully, they will maintain this policy next year so that some of us average Joe's can get a chance.
Here is someone that was dressed up in an awesome costume. I asked him if it was a Robotech costume of perhaps the Jetfire toy. He smartly replied that it would depend on who was asking. I will go with Jetfire:
And here is the first time I have actually seen the Star Wars Transformer Death Star/Darth Vader:
Ok, then it was on to the IDW panel. That was horribly lame. All they did was basically announce titles and release dates. Apparently they are saving all of the longer explanations and new announcements for the Hasbro booth tomorrow. I am sure most of you already know the tidbits they did tell us, but I will share it anyway:
•Transformers: Devastation - 6 Issues - September 2007
They mentioned it would be a very fast moving series,
more so than previous ones.
•Transformers: Beast Wars: The Ascending - August 2007
I don't know if it was just me, but it looked like the
character spread included BWII characters and was drawn
to resemble the Japanese cartoon series.
•Spotlight: Ranmjet - November 2007
•Transformers Movie: Search for Starscream - October 2007
They said that they were going to start infusing more
characters that did not appear specifically in the
movie. Arcee was mentioned.
•New TF Movie Prequel - TBD
That is all for right now, but I will be sure to say more as soon as I get home tomorrow.
