I'll be attending Transformerscon this year, seeing as BotCon is absolutely not at a good time for me in '08. It'll be my first Transformerscon too, so here's hoping it's enjoyable.

Can't go. I'm too far south in the States. :sad:

But I liked that clip. I could see all three Maximus toys and some other lage ones next to them. What are they?

And could someone with great eyesight give a list of most/all the figures on that table shown in the middle of the clip?

If you don't like:
-buying TFs + parts + misc stuff
-trading TFs + parts + misc stuff
-watching TF eps
-meeting other board members
-getting things autographed
-meeting a voice actor/actress (I don't know who'll be there this year)
-taking pics with someone in costume
-standing line to get in
-asking a panel/voice actor(s) questions
-suffering/laughing through fan voice acting tryouts

then you won't find it enjoyable :lol:

It's BotCon's little brother, with different colored money. :wink:

Seeing as I'm Canadian, it's BotCon that has different coloured money.
Honestly, I kept paying for things with 50$ bills thinking they were 20s at BotCon 07...

You're Canadian too? Cool. In that case, it's BotCon's little brother whom doesn't move around as much. This would be #5 in a row that it's been held at the same hotel.

It's like one of those family gatherings that doesn't involve bad chaos.

The next time the 'Con hits Montreal, I'm there.
...and by 'next time,' I mean 'if ever.'

Either you really hate Toronto more than is necessary or you hate travelling anywhere, cuz really, aranna isn't that far away from Montreal and isn't that bad a city (unless we're talking sports and sportsfans...Go Habs!)

Not having a car/much money doesn't help much either.

I don't have a car, and I rarely have much money. It's not usually that hard to get to a place like Toronto. There are really cheap buses.

Yeah, that's true. Trains too.

Oddly, Trains are more expensive than I thought they would be. The price on trainfare has risen a lot compared to busfare (but travelling by train is far more comfortable and enjoyable than bus).
