It looks like it's going to be frickin' awesome!

[OhioBot]

It's going to be a great time, especially Thursday night after the movie... a bunch of crazy and fun people who just saw what can be seen as the holy grail of the fandom. I get goosebumps just thinking of the energy and excitement that will fill that theater! It will be a once in a lifetime experience. Then the second best part... having drinks afterwards and talking about the movie with fellow fans!

With that said, I'm normally not a person who complains about anything because I feel thankful for what I get from life, but had I known the Hasbro panel was going to be on Sunday this year, I would have booked my flight later in the day, unfortunately its too late to change the flight, so now I don't get to attend one of the main attractions of the convention.

All in all, its going to be one long exciting weekend!

Looks great! I like how they're offering several autograph sessions per guest and that each panel is offered at least twice.

[Seibertron]

I think it's great that they put one of the biggest draws on Sunday instead. Sunday has always been kind of a waste of a day ... it's nice that this won't be the case this year. I bet this will help the dealers out as well because people will stick around longer. Kudos to whoever came up with this idea.

[Tigertrack]

Information overload...but in a good way!

[Hot.Rod]

so when does the general public get to see the new stuff? what does the general public even get to do? it seems like you only have fun if you are registered...
