I have been excited for months! Last year was a blast and I got so many cool figures. (The best part was seeing one of my long time internet pals in real life for the first time!) Half tempted to pre-reg but I prefer to pay at the door just in case of last minute events.

Looks like Marcelo Matere won't be able to make it. I was looking forwards to saying hello to him.

Had a blast this year as always. Hope everyone had fun. Was nice to hang out with other like minded fans, bought some cool stuff!



I'm pretty tuckered out from the drive down to Kent but now that I am home I am gonna have some unboxing and transforming fun. Then perhaps a long nap.
