Slagacon 2012 Statement

Postby SLAG-A-CON » Mon Mar 19, 2012 9:07 pm

Motto: ""LAST ONE IN IS A RUSTY HERRING""
As the dust is starting to settle from the announcement of no third party merchandise will be allowed at the largest TF convention. We at Slagacon would like to take a moment and express where we stand on this topic.

We understand why the toy and gaming giant does not want third party items at their convention. Everyone has read that by this point. While we do understand their point of view, we do not share it. It is our belief at Slagacon that the third party items only strengthen an aging fanbase that we cater to. Yes, we do welcome all TF fans to come and join the fun every year but 99% of our attendees are 25 to 40 years of age. Not all of our attendees are impressed with the newer productlines but they are intrigued by the third party items. This made the decision to allow dealers to have third party items at Slagacon an easy choice. We welcome any dealer to join us at Slagacon and they can promote any third party items they wish. We appreciate all of the attendees and dealers that come from all over the midwest to enjoy Slagacon and cannot wait to see you all in October!

Come on! Let’s be Daring! Last one in is a rusty herring!

A very well composed and professionally toned press release from Slagacon.

As an individual of the toy collecting community I really appreciate the opportunity to see all types of toys created by artists that cater to my personal tastes (and, at times, my input as well). Thank you Slagacon, I truly hope companies like Fansproject, Perfect Effect, MakeToys, HeadRobots, et al. will consider showcasing their prototypes at your future conventions, and hopefully would be invited as guest panelists.

Again, thank you.

Keep Seibertron.com in the loop in terms of what to expect from the convention's events, and I'm sure I will be visiting Slagacon soon to celebrate my hobby with fellow hobbyists.
