I would so love to go after all the work I put into this and the pass they offered me but it would cost me $750 just for travel and lodging. :( I've already got 2 other major conventions to attend as well as Anime Blues Con here in Memphis which will be our first anime convention. I will be moderator as well as a guest on the voice actors' panels and the 80s cartoon panel which I'll be showing off some of my videos.

This looks awsome! I just booked my room. This is going to be my first TFcon, I've been to BotCon a few times before, is it much different? Canada was actually cheaper and closer than Pasadena, so why not? Anyway hope to see some of you there! :CON:

Awesome! A panel devoted simply to 3rd parties. Can't wait to read what they announce. Either that or this is a ploy to lure them out for Hasbro to take a shot at them, legally speaking of course.

It's always great to see Alex.

As a bit of a bonus the Central Canada Comic Con Drift #4 Exclusive Comic from Alex Milne will be available to be purchased at TFCon for $10 each.

When Alex designed the cover art he made the back cover as a sketch cover! For a small fee Alex will do a character sketch on that back cover making your Drift #4 Exclusive a one of a kind collectible!

Here's the cover art followed by the sketch of Deadlock, Drift before he was Drift :)
