In theory yes to both! The logistics of this might not be so easy, you’d probably need to prearrange your trades with others as it unlikely other attendees would be walking around with items to trade on the off chance someone wants to do some trading. I’ve seen people turn up with old figures to sell onto toy dealers but again probably best to message dealers in advance to see what they are open to. Hope that’s helpful!

It’s definitely worth checking out if you like a bit of everything with a big dose of horror. The panels were good fun to, although some minor sound problems with the Hellraiser one. Cheers!

Awesome on the Jaws head, that stand had loads of cool busts! Thanks for the info re Horror Con, sounds like it’s worth checking out at some point. If you see me at a future con say hi, always happy to film cosplays for my video! Cheers

Thank you, I should have been more specific it’s the interchange at the Meadowhall Shopping centre. I keep forgetting its name 😅 it’s right on the edge of Sheffield to the point I had assumed Magna was in Sheffield, I only realised I was in Rotherham when I arrive at Magna. Cheers.

They’re pretty funny, they remind me of Penguin from Wallace and Gromit but ruder 😂

I wasn’t particularly looking out for Legends but I’m certain I saw some and stalls were selling them. The whole show was a good mix of modern and retro toys. All the transformers I was after were current lines and there were plenty both boxes new and unboxed and used. It was the same for Marvel figs. There was a bit of everything as there’s a mix of professional traders and people who are just there to clear out old collections.

Thank you, yeah definitely important to put positivity out there, it makes the Con more fun for everyone! Cheers!

Highly recommended, deffo feel like I didn’t have enough time to fit everything in. Cheers for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you, it’s a really amazing city, hopefully I’ll get to go back one day and make another video there. Appreciate the kind words, cheers!

Ah good point, didn’t really think of that, thanks for the idea, nice one!

Yeah, his arts incredible, I’ll have to add the Wheelie book to my hunt list! There’s some great digital art but agreed there were so many great posters and covers, I’ve always got an eye some cool retro art!

That’s good to hear, always happy to help if I can so let me know if there’s any advice you need an I’ll do my best to answer! Hope you have a good one!

Hope your Dad had a good time!

Thank you! Agreed having so much Transformers and their fans in one place was so good! Hopefully I’ll make it to another TFCon in Canada or the US, I’ve only done UK TF events. Cheers!

Wow, that’s awesome to hear, glad to hear it was helpful, hope you had a great time!

Sorry to hear that, hope you have more luck I. The future! Lucky for me my purchases at the event were all good! This made a nice change as I did pick up a Legacy Shrapnel just before TF Con who’s arm snapped off the first time I tried to transform him 😭

👋

Thank you! Yes super happy to pick up the story book, was a great find! Plans are afoot for next year, hopefully I can save enough to make it! Cheers!

Thank you! Wow what an awesome way to spend your Bday. Yeah totally agree it’s an amazing event, great that it’s a bit more far reaching than just TF nostalgia. I viewed it as a one off trip but I really want to figure out a way to afford to go again. I’m away the weekend of TF nation though I’m going to try to make the Friday. Cheers!

Thank you, hope it was helpful, cheers!

The person that made it has a Facebook page called The Quintesson Syndicate. The figure felt pretty sturdy and had ratchet joints so seem very good quality. You should be able to find out more on the Facebook page. Cheers

It was a really amazing time, thought I’d go as a one off but I’m already trying to figure out a way to be able to afford to go again 😂 Cheers!

Thanks for the tip, I’ll check out the Cyber Battalion. I’m based in the UK we have some cheaper shops for Transformers so will keep a look out! Cheers!!

The bucket of shame 😂 Thanks for the tale of support 😀 That’s a shame about the breakfast, hopefully just a one off. Cheers!

Hey Marcus, great to meet you at the Con and for checking out my video, really appreciate the positive words, have a good one! Cheers!!

I’m really tempted to try to save up for one of the US TFCons next. I had a great time. It’s definitely a different atmosphere at a smaller convention. Cheers!

I did chat to the person who made them as he also made the big Metroplex. Unfortunately I can’t remember his contact. The only lead I have is that he passed the Metroplex print file to an established Transformers enthusiast who printed out a human sized Metroplex. Sorry I can’t be more help, cheers!

Remembered the Facebook page name it is The Quintesson Syndicate, hope that helps, cheers!

I did look at the Botcons, I’m definitely tempted to check out one of the US Transformer conventions next, obviously need to save some money first 😂

Thank, yeah had an awesome time, really hope I can afford to go again in the future! Cheers

Thank you glad to hear you enjoyed it and that it has Transformed your life 😂 Cheers for the comment!

It was available to sit down and play from after the unveiling on Friday. I spoke to a couple of people who played it who said they weee experienced questers and found it tough, it was a quick conversation so they didn’t elaborate. I chatted to the lady on the stand who did a good job of making it sound really fun but I didn’t have time to sit and play myself I’m afraid. Cheers!

This is MCM at the Excel, London Film and Comic Con by Show Masters is the one in Kensington at the Olympia. I’ve got videos of their Spring events and of the July event on my channel. Cheers ua-cam.com/play/PLI7tvU07B9B--tfjHutJzPexQO04OOwRo.html&feature=shared

@@GeekExplorers would you say it’s worth it especially for the first time

@2ndnature777 it’s a tricky one to answer, I’ve enjoyed some of my previous Showmasters events but in Spring the size of it had reduced and last summer it reduced in size hence I didn’t film. If you’re going to meet some specific celebs, see some panels and do a bit of shopping it can be a fun day out. It’s on a much smaller scale than MCM though this does mean it’s less overbearing and can be easier to negotiate. For me I definitely consider it a premium priced day out as I think it’s about £20 for entry and then train and food on top. For the summer one I’ve only ever done the Friday which has been enjoyable as it’s quiet but there’s still some cool cosplays. The main thing is I’ve no idea if it’s going to return to its larger scale from two summers ago or continue to be a smaller scale convention. In March they did have building work going on at the Olympia so that might have been the reason for the smaller size, if that’s finished it might be bigger. Hope that wasn’t to rambling 🙂

I’m afraid not, I did give it a search but just kept getting results for table tennis. Sorry I can’t offer more info.

@@GeekExplorers lol, same for me, its a shame. Ill keep my eyes peeled elsewhere. Im sure it will pop up eventually.

@matthewdartfordphotography131 will keep my eyes peeled, if I spot it when I’m out and about I’ll ask for a link and drop it here, cheers!

Awesome that’s really cool, they’re really great sculpts. I guess that’s why they’re still around as they’re such good designs. Happy to hear you got to enjoy a little flash back. Thank you for the sun, appreciated, cheers!

Thank you, that’s a good shout, just need to find the time to actually play the games I’ve picked up. Probably be good to do a guide to the Expo as well. Cheers!

Thank you, all the shots in amongst the terrain builds are shot on an action camera, my main cameras too big for those shots. Cheers!

They were very effective obtained from my local apothecary Boots, though expensive!

Thank you, I’m off on holiday during LFCC so will be looking out for your vlog, have a good one, cheers!

Glad to hear you had a successful EBay splurge, my wallet deffo would have thanked me if I’d done similar lol. It can be a bit of pot luck with MCM as you can never be sure what’s going to be there. As I say I had a great time and very happy with my weekend. Cheers!

@@GeekExplorers I don't think my wallet thanked me I spent about £250 now theres a big hole lol & I know what your saying you sometimes never know whats going to be there I probably see a couple of things I might have picked up like aliens & predator stuff but not a great deal probably to much anime Japanese type stuff there & not enough other stuff maybe should be a bit more even also should add some different things then last year as darleks was there again but it's just my opinion at least you enjoyed it did you pick up much

So many sad times for a collectors wallet 😂 Lucky for me I’m into anime so happy for that side of it. MCM’s great if you’re into loads of stuff due to broadness but not so good if you’re only into some niches. Yeah largely Transformers, a Gears, Crankcase, Wheeljack and Jihaxus. Then a bunch of those Blockees model kits, prints and a couple of graphic novels. I tend not to include all my pickups in my videos as this one was bloated enough haha.

Thank you, it never felt particularly busy to me, even popped outside on Saturday lunch time and there was no queue to get back in. The isles were big and there was so much space allotted for food that I think it helped to relieve the pressure on the rest of the Con floor. Or it could have been busy and I’m just totally oblivious to it 😂 There was a House of Dragons display for the new series but there was constantly a queue to sit on the throne so I skipped it and I totally forgot to film the BBC Doctor Who display. Hopefully there’ll be more movie and TV things in October. Deffo looking forward to what Hasbro do for Transformers at the next one. I’m looking forward to seeing how it links up with EGX. Temped to check it out?

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it, cheers!

Thanks for the compliments! Gav was a great host, loads of fun chatting about toys and conventions. RetroDee and having Retro Shack close by make Nuneaton a great destination for a toy hunt! Cheers for the comment, appreciated!

Glad it’s been useful, thanks for the great feedback, hope you have an awesome time at MCM!

@@GeekExplorers Thank you, I appreciate it!

Awesome, great to hear it’s been helpful! Have a good one!
