[Batman]

I might go to this. What is planned?

[Birdman]

Hopefully THIS WEEK IN GEEK will be there to cover the event :)

[ANDROID PRIME]

I might walk there from my place. who am i kidding ill probably drive

[Exsequor]

I'm going.

[CobraCommander]

Anyone know if there is an entrance fee?

[Dark Rage]

Is there an entrance fee?

I didn't get a chance to go to Transformers Con, so I don't know what to expect in terms of vendors.

Are items usually higher or lower than retail/ebay prices? Will it be insanely crowded or packed? I'm looking for more Alternators and Binaltechs, and I"m not sure if I should save up some money for this convention.

I'd appreciate any info people may have, thanks!

[CobraCommander]

Anyone know if there is an entrance fee?

Anyone... anyone... Bueller :confused:

[dak]

there is an entrance fee. the ammount, I'm not 100% sure of.

[Action Figure Expo]

Hi all, thanks for your interest in our 4th annual Action Figure Expo. The admission for the show will be $10 for regular admission, and $15 for the early bird admission, with more details to come in the near future. These prices are the same as last year. The show will have many of the same vintage and Japanese import dealers you saw at TransformersCon this past spring to bring you guys a huge selection of 80s and modern Transformers toys.

Also, for the Star Wars fans amongst us the 501st Garrison (http://www.501st.ca/) has confirmed their attendance, so you can get pictures with Darth Vader and company at no additional charge at the show. Hope to see you all there!

[sky_riDe]

maybe it's worth driving all the way out there If they'll have the games of decepticon exclusive from botcon.....

[Nyghtwynd]

I just realized I can walk there lol

I hope someone's selling G1 jetfire >.> and whoever else on my list lol

[Nyghtwynd]

Also, for the Star Wars fans amongst us the 501st Garrison (http://www.501st.ca/) has confirmed their attendance, so you can get pictures with Darth Vader and company at no additional charge at the show. Hope to see you all there!

YES! 501st!! I plan on making a Revan costume, and i hope these guys can help ^^

[MomofTFfan]

I went to the TF con with my son and BIL. We really enjoyed ourselves. Just wished we had more money on us! My son picked up some cheap Star Wars figures and a TF gun from 1984. I think I should a link to my BIL :)

[mitchmurphy]

im hoping to finish off my beastwars collection, maybe ill get lucky.

Usually crowded and sold out of the good stuff about a couple hours after it starts. So the early bird is worth it if you want something you know everyone else wants. Prices are fair to high. But always willing to deal. So probably lower to about the same as ebay. The difference being you can check out the items before you buy. Which is always a selling point for me.

Which remains me. 2 MONTHS TO GO !!!

[MomofTFfan]

Looks like I'm going with BIL and my son. I told my son he better save up his allowance starting now since he used up the last for another Transformer.

[jessikaowl]

I'm going, yay! I've even conviced my boyfriend to tag along. I'm going to spend way too much money! :D

[Rodimus Jay]

Jess, you're not crazy for having what you have on your desk! *LOL* I say you're pretty normal! :)

[jessikaowl]

CRAAAAAAAAAAAP! Sept 30th is a Sunday and I work sundays! POOEY!!! I'll have to BEG someone to work that day for me. ARGH!

Rodimus Jay, at my work they think it's weird. I think I need a job that's toy related..... Oh wait, I had that job, crap again!

[dankir]

How far is this from downtown Toronto? My sisters live on Adelaide and Niagra. I'm coming from Montreal btw, anyone have an idea?

[cannabisprime]

Prolly a half-hour drive from the downtown core to Missisauga.

[vectorsigma2]

the early bird entrance fee ( how early do we get to go in if i decide to go! and if so where do we buy the early bird tickets?)

[Super_Megatron]

the early bird entrance fee ( how early do we get to go in if i decide to go! and if so where do we buy the early bird tickets?)

Early bird should be a half hour earlier than people that pay the regular rate. Admission is always paid at the door.

[Astro123]

well its this 30th, can wait, hope the tfs have a great section, so are you goin?, post if ya are, i sure am!!

[ANDROID PRIME]

I just google mapped it. the convention is 1.8 km away from my house. so nothing short of breaking both my legs will keep me away. Dont know how much I will buy. but it will be cool to go to.

[mitchmurphy]

im going for sure, im gunna look at transformers stuff but i am also egar to see the wrestling figures.

i also want to see if they have some spiderman/xmen animated series toys as well as xmen (1st movie) figures as i want to get atleast one of everyone from the movie.

lastly im hoping to see some old batman toys from the first 3 movies.

i could go on and on cuz theres so many more things i wanna get but my wallet will restrict me:)

[cannabisprime]

Definitely going since I have to meet up with Russ for some parts.

Is there going to be a cybertron.ca meetup of some sort?

[GMfan]

There will be meet ups in one way or another, I'll be going but dunno what I'll wear...do we have to do name tags?!

[chisau]

what's the membership price?? it's not on the website.

[neospike]

You think that I'll be able to find an MP-05 Megatron at the show?

[GMfan]

Possible (not really an 80's figure) but don't be suprised to pay about $200+ for it.

[Paradigm-Shift Prime]

You think that I'll be able to find an MP-05 Megatron at the show?

Unfortunately timing on trying to get mp05 is not good right now. Really need to wait until the 2nd production run comes out. Right now no one would have them except for 2nd/3rd market, which will cost you, yeah, probably over $200, if you even see one.

Oh, and I'll be there. I'm the really tall guy.

[CobraCommander]

yup.

9 am early bird admission - $15
Regular admission after 9:30 am - $10

[mitchmurphy]

just a quick question, from square 1 mall how far is the convention?

thanks

[Benm]

[Astro123]

is anyone a little excited that the 501st is going to be there?, i love star wars and all the movies, cant wait to see some of the sweet costumes

[Super_Megatron]

I think I'm going to get some pics with Vader and company this year... :)

[chisau]

I'm hoping for some RoadBots this year.

[mitchmurphy]

^^ yea im definatly bringing the camera too!

[jessikaowl]

I'll be there! I'm dragging along the boyfriend too ;)

I'm looking forward to everything really!

[Quantum]

I'm hoping my wife will let me drag her and our son to the show on the way back from the wedding we've got to go to that weekend. I can't really afford too much, but I wanna go anyway.

[Nerroth]

Is it literally just going to be for displaying and buying toys and action figures?


I'm having trouble finding Titanium G1 Magnus, but i don't know if I'd want to go to the thing just for one fig, if there's going to be nothing else going on...

[Devastator]

I'll be there as well. I'm the Chicago PD NARC.

[Astro123]

so whats everyone looking for?

[Aernaroth]

Is it literally just going to be for displaying and buying toys and action figures?



What else did you have in mind?

[neospike]

Here is what we're looking for:

- Classics Voyager Megatron
- Classics Ultra Magnus vs. Skywarp
- Masterpiece MP-05 Megatron
- Masterpiece G1 Starscream
- Titanium WW Optimus Prime
- Titanium G1 Ultra Magnus
- Transformers Collection Prowl

Maybes:
- Encore Reissue Prime
- Encore Reissue Megatron
- Masterpiece MP-06 Skywarp

[Nerroth]

What else did you have in mind?


I dunno, maybe slideshows or presentations by toy companies, or related media material to certain lines (for example, a preview of TF:Animated)...

...that sort of thing.

[Nightscrabbler]

I dunno, maybe slideshows or presentations by toy companies, or related media material to certain lines (for example, a preview of TF:Animated)...

...that sort of thing.

Good ideas, but everything needs to start small and then build up. As the show grows, more events can be added. And you can always try to contribute your own efforts into making the show better. That's how it happens. Toy companies won't come to a show until they see there's a large audience at that show, and the large audience sometimes doesn't come to the show until the events entice them, so it's a catch-22.

[Nerroth]

Is this only a new event, then?


I only moved to Toronto this year, so I didn't know how long this had been running for...


Hmm, I wonder - are there fans of perhaps less well-known (but still popular in fan circles) brands who have people capable of answering questions about current and upcoming figs - such as Kaiyodo's Revoltech line, for example?


(I personally stick with the Fate/Stay Nigh Revoltechs - I can't wait for the Rin Tohsaka-sama model! But, there may be others on hand who might be better placed to offer advice to those unfamiliar with Revoltechs...)

[Code of Honor]

Is this only a new event, then?


I only moved to Toronto this year, so I didn't know how long this had been running for...

It's in it's 4th year, first in Mississauga, before it was in Burlington. This year is shaping up to be the biggest yet, and as Shan said it takes time to build these con's up. The best thing anyone can do is come and support the show.

[Ondoher Prime]

so whats everyone looking for?

mine would be:

MP-06 Skywarp
SDCC Alternators Rodimus
Music Label blue Soundwave
Music Label Rumble & Frenzy earphones

are all of cyb.ca's store sponsors we see on the right side of the site setting up tables on the expo?

[Paradigm-Shift Prime]

so whats everyone looking for?

G1 parts that don't cost $8 + each! (I'll be doing some scrounging through boxes hopefully).

[CobraCommander]

I'm not looking for much, but I will bring a bag of money just incase :D

[mitchmurphy]

what i want:
anything that catches my eye plus my mental list of toys i need to buy

plus its always good to buy something cool on impulse!

[GMfan]

I'm looking for loose, complete, but inexpensive headmasters....tough I know but here's hoping.

[Nyghtwynd]

>.> whatever's in my want list

[Devastator]

MP-06 Skywarp
ANY alternators

[chisau]

is there going to be a parts party at the Action figure expo?? should i even bother to bring my crap?

Also, besides the dealer room, what other events are happening at the expo?

[chisau]

so since no one posted for a week, does this mean that other then the dealer room, there is no other events for the action figure expo?

[Aernaroth]

The 501st are coming, does that count?

[neospike]

I've never been to one of these shows before. Can we pay via debit cards? Are there any bank machines at the location?

[Aernaroth]

Debit is usually not accepted by the dealers, and although there are probably some ATMs within a couple blocks, you're better off bringing cash. Lots of it.

[rid]

Not to mention that most ATM close to the venue run dry very quickly.

[Astro123]

yo this sunday!! better be good!!

[jessikaowl]

Looks like I'll be going solo to my first expo :(

The worst part is people will probably think I just got lost and can't find my boyfriend that dragged me along, lol

[Dark Rage]

Uh, just wondering, is anyone going there for the early bird opening?

I'm looking for a ride, but I want to get there early.

I live in downtown Toronto, but I don't want to spend an hour on the TTC and Mississauga Transit.

I'd appreciate if anyone can offer one, thanks!

Hi everyone. I hope to see you all on September 30th for the 4th Annual Action Figure Expo. I know there's already a discussion going on about it, but for your convenience, I thought I would explain how to get to the show by public transit.

-----

It's quite simple. You can take a Mississauga transit bus from Square One's bus terminal: route 19N (north) or the 19A. This bus goes down Hurontario St. You would get off at Brunel Road, where you would see a large plaza and the Mississauga Grand Banquet & Convention Centre.

-----

If you are coming from Brampton, you can still take the Mississauga Transit's route 19S (south) from Shopper's World and get off at Brunel road.

-----

If you are coming from elsewhere in the GTA:

If you take the subway (TTC) to Islington station, there are Mississauga Transit buses that will take you to the Square One terminal. Please see the trip planner in the link below.

You can plan your trip and determine departure/arrival times by visiting www.mississaugatransit.com (http://www.mississaugatransit.com/) (see their Click n' Ride Online Trip Planner).

If you have other questions you can ask me.

if your looking for transportation
maybe this will help

[Dark Rage]

if your looking for transportation
maybe this will help

Um yeah...I know how to get there by bus, I was hoping to get a ride...

Is there going to be a cybertron.ca photoshoot like the ginormous TFW2005 pic they took this year at Botcon? I know we definitely won't be as big as their group though, maybe half or a third at best!

[chisau]

I'm not going for the early bird, but i'm in Downtown toronto also and driving. i live near collage and young.

[Aernaroth]

Wear a sign that says "NOT LOST". Then they won't.

[EnragedCoconut]

I will be there bright and early! Unfortunately, I am coming from north of the city so can't help with a downtown Toronto ride.

EC

[EnragedCoconut]

I can't wait! :)

EC

[chisau]

are we going to get less dealers from across the border due to our dollar is on par with the american dollar?

[MomofTFfan]

I'll be there! My 7 year old son is coming too. My hubby is staying home with our 3 year old daughter. She would probably love it, but she has boundless energy and I don't want to be chasing her all the time! My SIL and BIL are picking us up. But they won't be at my place until 10am (I'm in Mississauga so it's not far to go). I will be bringing my camera since my son will probably faint from the sight of Darth Vader! :).

[Transbot90210]

Hey Jess I'll be riding single too. I can be your stand in BF/ BODYGAURD , but you have to dress like whitney did in the movie.

I'll be there and dragging my Bro and Sis too. I inadvertantly turned one nephew into a Superhero geek and the other into a Tranformers Geek. The kids have been talking about the convention all summer so myolder siblings are forced to take them.

What am I looking for?

I have MP SKYWARP on hold for me.
They say the G1 reissues of Ratchet and Iron Hide may be out so if they are they are on my list.
I just bought a lot of g1 figures so I hope repo lables is there so I can get new stickers.
Anything else out there. I'm looking for loose complete g1 stuff to fluff up that part of my collection but at the same time I am not paying AFA inspired crack dream prices.


I'm looking forward to it all but I am limiting myself to only $300 because I am on a g1 kick now that i really need to control. Most of the $300 is already on the MP and the fact that as Uncle of the century I will have to buy my nephews something.

Thanx
Transbot90210

[-KG-]

The Ironhide and Ratchet Reissues won't be released for a couple of months...

[Transbot90210]

Ok so they are not on my list..woohoo

[jessikaowl]

so early bird is 9am? ouch! that's going to hurt, lol

it sucks that it's MORE expensive to get in when it opens! argh. I wonder if I should bother, I'm not going for anything special so I don't need to fight the crazy mob of TF fans ;)

Anyone know of a reason to show up at 9 instead of 9:30?

I'm only like 5 minutes away though so I shouldn't complain.

[Transbot90210]

You show up at 9 instead of 9:30 only i fyou are one of those people that are stuck with those cursed $5 bills.

You know the ones...they burn a hole in your pocket and you can only get rid of them by basically throwing it away.

I don't have any so Ill be showing up at 9:30

[Super_Megatron]

Actually it's for people that want first dibs on the best deals in the dealer room. This is available at most shows.

[Transbot90210]

My last post was said completely in jest.

I have been doing cons as a dealer for over 10 years and now as a fan for a few years. It is normal policy for most cons.


My only thing is, it should had been a 1h early bird experience vs .5 hour.

Thanx

I know of a reason......because I'll be there with my personal collection up for sale, including my MIB Fort Max, MIB Star Saber, MIB Victory Leo and an
OVERLORD!!!!!

What more reason do you need to get in earlier than the rest of the fans!!??!!

[Super_Megatron]

Please note the Mississauga Convention Centre on Derry is not the same as the Mississauga Grand Banquet & Convention Centre on Brunel.

[Powered Convoy]

Anyone know if we're allowed to bring stuff to trade/sell with dealers/fans or is that against the rules? I've got a MIMP TRU Soundwave and TFC #6 Megatron I've been thinking of selling so I can actually afford the ridonkulous prices of the 25th Anniversary Joes...

[Aernaroth]

I don't think that would be a problem, so long as you don't try to set up your own table without registering. Carrying them around could be a pain though.

[Paradigm-Shift Prime]

Yeah I've been wondering if the 1/2 hour earlybird is going to be worth it too. I'm not really sure how much (vintage) transformers stuff to expect to be there and I know the guy with the huge collection (russ?) won't have any doorcrashing deals $ wise. I'm not after MP06, the encores, or anything else new that might be sold out very quickly (thinks of mp05 at tfcon). I also wonder if dealers will have their prices jacked up/won't make deals in the first 1/2 hour because they know everyone there early will be eager shoppers.

A half hour will also pass by very quick, getting one or two deals in would be lucky.

I'll more likely than not be showing up early, after vintage tfs, but not sure yet.

Also, anyone know if the sellers have a chance to buy off each other before this 9am earlybird?

[EnragedCoconut]

Like an idiot, i'm going to be there first thing.

EC

[Transbot90210]

I plan on getting there around 10. What they got they got. I have shit on hold for me by kool toys so Im not worried about losing MP06.

I'm hoping to get me some good G1 stuff at a reasonable price. There is one guy there that sells right out of the guide book and then I think he triples it. I actually heard him complain how crap he does at cons. Well then nothing on your table is worth a hundren bucks and nothing on your table is cheaper than 100 bucks what do you expect.

Vent over, Im excited for tomorrow. I hope you all have a good time, I know i will.

[-KG-]

I hope to get there around mid to late morning. I got to TFcon around the same time and still got ton of great stuff. I'm hoping for the same thing here. I'm looking for a couple of G1's and some newer stuff. Hopefully there'll be some good Batman stuff too...

[neospike]

Honestly guys, do you think I should go early bird if I'm looking for:

Classics Megatron
Encore Prime and Megatron
MP-05 Megatron
Classics UM vs Skywarp

[cannabisprime]

Honestly guys, do you think I should go early bird if I'm looking for:

Honestly, not really; I doubt you'll be getting those items much cheaper at AFE than you would if you bought them on eBay to begin with anyways (except for maybe MP05).

[MomofTFfan]

Looks like my 3 year old daughter gets to come too. Hubby has a meeting at 3pm and I don't want him to be late. Besides she's free :). I'll have to dig out her Supergirl t-shirt for her. Son is wearing his 25th anniversary Transformer T-shirt which is huge on him but that's the size that came with the movie dvd. I'll be wearing my Star Wars episode 1 with a big picture of Darth Maul. I like going to a place where my children and I don't get stared at for wearing "weird" t-shirts. :) Both kids will be delighted to meet Darth Vader too.

[Dark Rage]

It was awesome this year! First time going, but I had to leave early for work.

Met up w/ chisau, cannabis prime, and dragon_ap, and had a blast!

Wish that there were some events or photoshoots (other than the 501st Star Wars guys), but it was more or less like flea market event (no insult intended).

I wanted to organize a cybertron.ca photoshoot, but I saw that all the Moderators here were stressed out from managing the entire event, which was really admirable.

I'm looking forward to the next AF Expo or next convention, but I'll definitely need time to save up again, heh.

[cannabisprime]

It was my first time at this expo and I was pleased overall; like dark rage mentioned, the inclusion of events (like guest Q&As and the workshops0 would've been nice. The dealer room did make up for that; it was nice to see such a nice variety of toys all in one roof.
It was great to meet up with some of the board members here (dark_rage, chisau, dragon_ap, SuperMegatron, Crobot and jessikaowl) and put some faces to the names.
I'm definitely looking forward to the next TFCon!

[CobraCommander]

I enjoyed my time, thanks to those that setup the event, looking forward to next year!

[kizagjo]

hi guys,
this was my first toy event, and i would say i had a great time! showed up at around 8:45 to line up, got some great deals.

Looking forward to many more of these!
thanks!

[skyrink]

Overall the show was not bad, I thought last year was kinda better though mainly because it was larger. I do agree that there should be other stuff going on other than just the show room buy/sell. It's just another show, Transformerscon is where the main festivities are. The organizers still did a great job as usual and I look forward to the next one...possibly as a seller. :)

[jessikaowl]

I had a great first expo! I would have liked to have met up with a few people though....I was very focused and didn't really look up from the tables. At TFC I will pay more attention and try to enjoy it more.

And none you have pictures up of yourselves anyway to find you! :mad:
cannabisprime found me though :D

Next con I am NOT bringing the boyfriend, he just slowed me down and did a bit of "do you neeeeed that?" which is fricking annoying.

WTF was with the $90 each tapes for soundwave? :confused:

[GMfan]

I'll admit I was looking for cassettes too but after spending as much as I did on headmasters I held off. If you're looking for cassettes Jessika for a TRU Classic SW ages3andup had a 2 KO sets I wanted to grab for around $20 each. One that came with Buzzsaw and Rumble (....Rumble is red :P) and another that came with Ratbat and Frenzy. From what I've read they are pretty close to the orginals with metal parts and chrome weapons. That will also knock your cassette population to 6.

Anyone willing can put a RL pic of themselves in their profile if they don't want to put it as their avatar. Lemme just find a good one and I'll put it on there.

Edit: it was $40 combined and around $20 a set

[Dave-astator]

Overall, a well done show as always!

I had a few stressful moments though...as dealers behind me decided to walk through my area and knock over my display stand, which sent an Overlord and a Trypticon plummetting to the ground...but luckily, I've never juggled TF's before and did a pretty good job as I caught them.

And then to top things off, a buyer decided to look at some of my items and instead of looking at the item from the proper angles, he decided to turn his wrist over to look at the bottom side of the toy, unfortunately, he was also holding a coffee with this hand, thus spilling the coffee onto a MIB Fortress Maximus.

And as a few of you noticed, the vein on my forehand pops out when that happens!

But all in all, a great show and a big thank you to Super_Megatron for helping me out once again!

[Dark Rage]

Hope you sold enough for that down payment Dave-astator!

Good to see that your Fort Max got sold early into the day.

And...sorry about the comment btwn you and your "friend", heh :D

[jessikaowl]

And as a few of you noticed, the vein on my forehand pops out when that happens!
That sucks you had those mishaps!

My boyfriend was impressed that the vendors wern't freaking out when we picked up stuff/touched it..... he said at cons for other stuff (anime, etc) they would scream "LOOK WITH YOUR EYES NOT YOUR HANDS!!!!" and would hover over you to make sure you didn't wreck anything. lol

That guy who spilled the coffee..... I'm not sure how you didn't slap him. Guess I'll never be a vendor :p

I've seen those and might just get the TRU ones, they seem to go on ebay for about $30 with shipping. I suppose I can hunt for the originals, I'm not in a hurry! But thanks, at least I know I have options!

[jessikaowl]

I ment to ask on here.....

There was a guy selling some of his personal collection..... one of the middle rows, asian guy with a black (?) shirt on and glasses....

Is he from here?

[Dark Rage]

LOL you gotta be more specific than that.

The Moderators might be able to give you their contacting information of vendors, if the vendors allow it.

I actually wanted to buy some more of the Super Mario plushies, but ran out of time...:(

[jessikaowl]

LOL you gotta be more specific than that.
LOL!

I just wanted to thank him is all :D

[MightAsWell Go4ASoda]

I was tempted by so many things. Curse me for not having a job and therefore not having money to fuel my obsession. The only shopping i could do what of the eye varity =(

It was still a great experience though and i'm definately glad i went :)

[Quantum]

WTF was with the $90 each tapes for soundwave? :confused:

WHAT!? That's insane, and purely riding on the popularity of the movie (in my opinion anyway). At TFC this year they were +- $50, and because I bought four, I got them for $40 apiece (I got Rewind, Ramhorn, Slugfest and Overkill :D bringing my cassette count to 13). I've also got some of the KO's from Spence a A3U and they're awesome. Obviously not of the same quality, but good nonetheless and they're super-fun little dudes. Can also use the colour variations to beef up the Autobot cassettes. I've got the clear crystal Frenzy and Laserbeak as Autobots. I'm totally going to grab the sets w/ Ratbat and Rumble so then I'll just need
Eject and I'm good. I don't have the combiners or Mythical Japanese Dino-cassettes, but I'm good unless they fall into my lap.

I didn't get to go this year (my best friends got married :D ), but I'm there with bells on next year.

$40 a piece!! That's insane!

When I was selling off my cassettes I was asking $20 each, unless it was Ratbat, which was complete and unbroken.

Damn Sheisters!

I agree. 40$ is too much. Even on Ebay they sell around 20$-25$. The only exceptions are Ratbat and the combiners which sell for a lot more.

Yeah, I know that $40 is alot, but they were there, I was there, it was disposable toy income that I had just made by selling some stuff, and now I have them and all is well. Really though, at $25 on ebay, plus shipping, I didn't overpay too much. So I'm good.

Would still have been way nicer to pay $20 apiece...then I would have bought more!
