Full report to follow when I get back home (or if cmderinchief beats me to it). Hasbro gave out a dozen each of the Ashiko and HISS Scout's, a Skystriker, a Cobra VTOL and a Steel Brigade Vamp. Seeing the VTOL opened up it's going to be a sweet plane, not too big on the shelf, but impressive enough with a sweet looking pilot.
Thanks Hasbro and Canada Con for putting together such awesome prizes for the attendees. It's one thing to see them at con but now that we get to see hazard viper and stalker on card and the vehicles get opened up at the show, I'm even more hyped for their release in the fall. |

Well, what can I say? My 2011 convention season is over. As one of the few who did the DOUBLE this year (the TRIPLE would be SDCC) I certainly enjoyed my convention experiences this year. CJC was up to par with my last visit in 2009 (would have made it to 2010, but if you want to know that story, listen to the podcast). The Rudat family was awesome. I had a great time talking with Tristan and hearing the bonus commentary that will never be on that DVD. The two artists, Jason and Valentine were super cool and seemed to enjoy their time there. It is always good to see Mark Bellomo at a show! It was also good to see Hasbro Canada back at the show. Even though they got the EXACT same presentation we saw at Joe Con (including the annoying "pop quizzes), Canadian fans were at least rewarded with the Ashiko Armored (or Armoured) Bike and HISS Scout. The set was great. The bonus patch was an excellent surprise and addition. The fella who thought of that should be given a raise! ;-) Found some decent items on the floor. Had a fun time helping Josh run the trivia contest AND...I appreciate the acknowledgement in the comic. That was a complete surprise.
So, like I said, my convention season is over. BUT...! I will be back in 2012 and I challenge you to do the same. Just get your passport and make time for one weekend. That's all you have to do.
