Yeah, I am gonna get him to sign my re-issue Galvatron, and my G1 movie Blu-ray :D *is gonna be one of the only people in the Nimoy line not wearing Vulcan ears* >.>

Not to mention, probably the whole town of Vulcan, AB will show up for this event! O_O

Although I prefer Frank Welker's crazy Galvatron, Nimoy did a great job as sane Galvatron.

Say Hi from all us Galvatron fans!! :)

Cool! Wouldn't mind getting him to sign my copy of Transformers: The Movie on DVD. :D Ah well, enjoy everyone and watch out for them Trekkies! :D

Don't worry, I've had my fair share of experiences walking among the Trekkies. I survived those encounters, I should be able to fend off this crowd. And if anything happens, there'll be enough Star Wars nerds in the area that I can just yell something like "DARTH VADER IS A WIMP!" and run from the chaos as everybody with a brown robe and plastic lightsaber starts beating on anybody with pointy ears, or a crinkly forehead. ;)

You know work sucks when stuff like that is running through your mind.. haha :D

Seconded. On both counts.

[jjwankenobi]

Maybe I'll make a special trip to Calgary to finally ask Spock Prime why he has never bothered to get better dentures that don't sound loose whenever he speaks...

[Richter]

Nimoy is going to be at Emerald City ComicCon as well, so those in BC who want some autographs can just come to seattle!

[Phy]

And don't forget, Brent "I portrayed a space robot from another planet too, guys" Spiner is there as well.

[Protoman]

Oh boy.... how much is he charging THIS time?...

[Robimus]

Nimoy is everywhere :)

[Terminal Hipster]

Wasn't there alrady a thread on this?

Regardless. I am stoked for this, and very much going. :)

[JLvatron]

Seconded. On both counts.

Thanks.
And your sig pic is the best on cybertron.ca!!! :)
Completely awesome!!

[JSon]

Oh boy.... how much is he charging THIS time?...

LOL as soon as I heard this I thought about that Canadian Slag episode where Protoman shares his er.... experience

[Mumps]

Well, his Photo Op session is $65, which is MUCH more expensive than any of the others... If his Autograph is too expensive, then... I'll pass, and save room on my Blu-Ray for if I ever meet Cullen or Welker or any of the other cast :D

[BadJeff]

Last i heard he was asking about $100 a pop for his sig.

Well, if thats the case, I am gonna pass. Does he need money that badly? Or is it just cause he knows the line will be full regardless?

[Aernaroth]

Probably the latter. Its also possible that it could have something to do with the arrangement made with the convention, wherein he simply takes a flat appearance fee and\or a part of each autograph fee. Its entirely possible the autograph fees go towards recouping the fees involved in getting him there, though its also just as likely he pockets the cash.

Guess Galvatron's greed for everything rubbed off on him.;)

[BadJeff]

(i think..) i've heard he does it because too many people over the years simply take whatever he's signed and put it up on ebay the same day. Could be wrong though..

[JLvatron]

Heh, if he charges that much for the autograph, perhaps eBay really IS cheaper!! :)

[Mumps]

Well, if you are willing to pay crap loads of money on Ebay for somebody's autograph, go for it. My personal opinion is, and autograph is worthless unless you were there face to face with the person when he signed it. An exception to this would be my RoTF Blu-ray signed by Bay. That one is just plain awesome, because all profits went to the Make a Wish foundation.

[BadJeff]

Yeah, i'd take a handshake over an autograph myself.

[Protoman]

At Fan Expo it was $65 bucks for an Autograph, no pictures with him during the autograph session and afterwards a Fan Expo rep asked people to stop taking photos of him all together. His photo op session was $65 bucks also and it's rather cut and dry, one shot and then get the hell out of my face.

Also his line at Fan Expo was..... needless to say, the longest in the whole show, the biggest I have seen. So he makes enough money.

A lot of celebrities I've talked to feel this way. Thus the fees.
