Re: How was your TFCon?

This sums it all up in how awesome it was:

"Optimus, what the F^$%?"

Re: How was your TFCon?

I had lots of fun at TFCon this year, though I'm still going back to the Sunday events.

Haul-wise, it's rather minimal this year, but then again, I wasn't looking for much. It was mostly to chill with the people there, and I got to meet and/or hang out with a whole lot of guys (cannabisprime [well, ok, he almost doesn't count, since I'm typing this on my laptop in his basement right now], CobraCommander, Dark_Rage, chansformers, Nemesis Predaking, plowking, GMFan101, JLvatron, Guber, Protoman, brr-icy, vectorsigma_2, among others).

Re: How was your TFCon?

So anyways

This was the first convention I've ever been to, not really what I was expecting, but still cool none the less. I didn't really know anyone. I reconized Super Megatron from pictures I've seen online, but that was it, and he looked busy workin, so I didn't bother him.

There was a lot of people though, my sister and I got there at 9:30am saturday morning, and we got a little lost trying to find it in the hotel, there was no signs or anything lol, so we just wandered around for about 10 minutes. I finally went through the double doors there and saw a line up, and thought, that must be it! (Still no signs )

I got a free comic book, that was sweet, and then headed out to check Hasbro's table. The new prime looks cool, a lot better then in pictures. My sister wants a bumblebee helmet haha.

The dealer room was nuts, sooo many people, I was really hoping to check out a lot of toys I had never seen before, but couldn't really, it was hard just to get to the tables, let alone really examine anything. Plus a lot of stuff were in baggies, I didn't even know what half of them were, except for ones I've seen in pictures online.

The MIB Fort Maxes were cool though, I never knew he was THAT big, and the box is enourmous! I knew he was two feet tall, but untill you actually see it, you don't get a feel for just how big he is.

I bought some RID toys, and a couple Beast Wars, and my sister got a Clark Kent, and a silver Autobot decal for her car. I wanted some encore and bookstyle re-issues, but there weren't many that I could find, and the TFC Hound I thought was too expensive, so I just saved my money.

I only stayed for about an hour, then we decided to check out other things in Toronto, like sitting under the run way at the airport while the planes land, that was sweet!! Then we took off to the Oshawa center, and home

Fun time, I'll probably go next year too!

really? we parked there. There were two girls standing guard or whatever, and we just drove past them, pulled into the left parking lot, parked and walked by them without saying anything to each other lol

i'm assuming you asked the teenagers for directions?
Next time just pull in to the Congress drive, turn left, park and walk out. Unless they're security, which is almost never(99%) in all the time I've been to the Congress for outlet sales, it's not really worth their time to chase you down.

and yes I parked at the Congress parking lot. No hassles from the kids.

Hilights: Got to meet up with some of the guys I did trades with before. Some buddies from the US. Talked with members at the parts party. Didn't find what I was looking for but got a few other cool stuff. Bumblebee swearing(got an mp3 of that. ha!)

Re: How was your TFCon?

It was awesome! First time being there and I loved it. I was in and out both Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to meet anyone as I was very rushed both days. I mainly did some purchasing.

Those people I did get to talk to were great though. I can't wait until next years - I will make sure to stay in the hotel for the full three days!

I just wish I was able to pick up a Classics Ramjet before they were all gone :-(

Re: How was your TFCon?

This was my first TFcon and I was impressed by all the activities and just the overall set up. I'm hoping to make this an annual trip.

My only request to the TFCon planners: Please please please PLEASE keep getting wicked exclusives like you did this year. You've set a high bar with the Powered Commander but nothing that can't be matched year after year. Kudos on a job well done!!!

Re: How was your TFCon?

All I want to know is when the next show is ....

met some great people this weekend and the panels were so much fun. I just want to thank all the volunteers and helpers this weekend that busted their butts off and probably went on no sleep to make this Con the best one ever!
