They heard of the Furman/RotF combo and ran screaming.

In other news, French cover of Paint It Black is fantastic.

I'll book mine in a couple of weeks. We can see how well it's filling up. There's often a big uptake in ticket sales about a month ahead of the con and there will be folks who only want to go for a single day for one reason or another and single day tickets won't go on sale for a while yet. Don't panic, it's early days yet.

On the plus side you should be getting all of the more limited stuff in your goodie bag (first 49 getting a DVD has been mentioned so far).

I booked about 10 min after the bookings opened on the 2nd of Jan, I'm sure there are more now!

I was on-line when Simon posted that bookings were open, and just went for it.
I saw the price was reduced to £40 for both days and even though, at the time, I wasn't sure that I'd bother with the full weekend I paid up.
My reasoning was that the single day price is gonna be slightly more than half the full price of the weekend (£45), which means it will prob be £25 per day. So for an extra £15 I can go both and get the most freebies for being in early.

I've also just booked a room in the hotel for the Sat night earlier. Might end up adding the Friday night as well, but not sure yet.
If you were thinking of staying there, it's worth looking at the hotel website, 'cus it works out slightly cheaper in advance, than the 'special rate' for AA. I paid £51 for a smoking double bed room, but that doesn't include brekky. (Which is £10 extra! I'll make do with a McDonald's.)

Yeah. The link I gave you takes you straight to the options for booking one night on the Sat (15th), at the hotel it's held at.

I had a quick look at other nearby hotel options to see if anywhere is cheaper and couldn't see any that were by much. Most were more expensive and any saving wouldn't be worth the extra hassle of lugging stuff/yourself back and forth.

Sat Jan 17, 2009 10:48 am

Hound and cyclonus are amazing, i'd recommend everybody gets them, universe or henkei! the engineering for both is damn amazing!
Fraxture is currntly sat next to special edition dragstrip (well they are the smae mold), and is a nice repaint!

Oddsey go start a thread to see who's goin, i can't start it cause i;m still undecided

btw wht type of spendage should i consider taking £100 be enough?

News Credits: 2 · Sat Jan 17, 2009 1:14 pm

I think you need a bit more than £100, About £150 should be enough.

I still havent booked my ticket yet but I will soon.

News Credits: 5 · Sat Jan 17, 2009 3:24 pm

Ooh, Argos have the Marvel Crossovers. I was beginning to wonder if any shops in the UK were going to get them.

You want me to go out there?

On to the main board?

Where all those normal people are?

Are you mad? I'll get lynched!

Electron wrote:btw wht type of spendage should i consider taking £100 be enough?

Whatever you take, it will be too much and not enough!

I spent about £150 on the day last year, but I could have spent plenty more!
Personally, I'm gonna try and save quite a bit between now and August and have a bit of a blowout weekend! Not planning on having a holiday as such this year, so hopefully will have plenty to splash out on.

It all depends on what you plan to buy TF wise, as well as what you can afford to spend of course!
