Weapon: Twin Shoulder-Mounted Rocket Launchers
you guys entierly missed my point.

You were talking about how much cash to take, and having been to the last 2 AA's, you do need to take a sizable amount, my point was it depends on whats there to buy, as there are only so many more G1 figs i want to get, and i dont buy alot of the other lines (except classics). i took £200 last year and only spent £50.

sorry thrusto, i'm sure there'll be stuff u don't need but kinda want there, i'm sure its one of those things thats more about the experience

for e.g. it looks like alot of us are going this year, so looks like it would be a laugh, i'm just hoping lots of people will go

did u mingle with anyone last year and the year before?, cause i was hopin to have at least a drink with a few of u guys, i'm not one of those people who like to do things by themselves ya see

First few pics are all from the bar area. I like to consume copious amounts of booze at these kinds of things.

From that schedule I think I'm going to stick to the original plan of getting into Birmingham Friday and heading back Sunday night. Saturday night will probably be the biggest party night of the weekend and I don't think I'd be overly bothered with sitting around for a movie screening by that point in the proceedings. Means that I can be back for work Monday as well so I'll only need to take the Friday off for travelling time.

They won the custom competition which caused a bit of an outcry, hence why there's a seperate costume competition this year. Anybody fancy reviving the idea of going as G1 construction workers that was floating around last year?

Team Leaders or Air Rivals? I'll quite happily grab both if they've got them (and the catalogue suggests that they should) but everything is on hold until the Botcon toys are secured, so they'll be a few weeks away for me yet.

Just had a look at the new SWTF V19. I can see a few Jetfire bashes based on that toy popping up over the next few months.

air dudes, dunno if they have the other guys cause i asked for a viewing and they had 3 in stock, so i could be wrong

the botcon idea i'm kinda been put off by the massive price tag for a bunch of toys, but i jus don't wanna justify money for a bunch of repaints, so i think i'l buy that roadbuster nanokit and shadow CC (ano he's a repaint but he's badass and very limited)
