Hi Guys I have been on the Tank for a little while now I have been more of a quiet and sit by the sidelines member but I thought its high time I got involved with the community!!

So hopefully the first of many threads.....


Anyways I am looking to go to the above mentioned convention but I have never been to one before just wanted to try and get some insider information on what I can expaect etc, or if anyone else is going? Any info would be appriciated!

Anyone.....?

I know some of the Mercs are going, its tough to post this on a Sunday. I only wish I could go.

Try Dark Horse he might be able to help. I wouldn't mind going but can't afford it.
Also it might be worth trying Blood for the Baron website as I bet a few from there are going.

I shall be going & I'm looking forward to seeing Larry hama I hope he'll autograph my Snake Eyes book.

Looks like I'll be there!

Replies!! Cool! As soon as I get my tickets I will let you guys know! If anyone fancies hooking up there let me know would be nice to meet some fellow Joe fans!

aparantly there will be "kraken bio armour"

Plus the chance to get something signed by larry hama has to be pretty cool!!

Hi Eddie, I'm the organiser of the show, so if I can help in any way, please just ask away

Throughout the day there will also be planned features including presentations on the toy brand, guest Q&A panels and features.
There is also a custom competition and a cosplay contest too.

There will also be a range of traders attending the event, including:
All The Cool Stuff
80's Kid
Mayhem Attack Traders

With respect to exclusives, last year we produced a range of exclusive show products which were popular as nothing like that has ever been done for a UK show and this year will be no different.

This years exclusive has not been revealed yet (the Kraken Bio-Armour was last years), but there are hints on the website page giving clues as to what it could be.

Tickets are on sale now, but have limited availability, so advance booking is reccommended.

Weekend Tickets £26.00 each
Saturday Ticket £16.00 each
Sunday Ticket £16.00 each

It would be great to see as many of you there, a lot of work has gone into this for the UK community, which is a little fragmented at times. These things don't happen by themselves and don't carry on without support and interest, so this is a great way to get together and show strength in something we all enjoy

All the best,
Dave
