johnnyrock99 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Looking at this years event I was wondering if this could be the best collectormania at Milton Keynes. The event is being held in June so it should be warm (fingers crossed), so my thoughts were, are we going to see the entire concourse full of guests as in previous events and also the new hall as well? If this is the case then we should see more than 100 guests over the weekend in attendance. As showmasters have stated before they want to take CMMK forward with new and exciting things and for me looking at this years guest line-up so far I'm thinking this could potentially be a bigger event than ever before. Albeit the media guests are a bit thin on the ground at the minute but the guests announced already are of an excellent standard and I have pencilled in 12 (would have been 13 but Jason Flemyng has cancelled) of the media guests for autographs already. This is on top of the 11 sports guests I am going to be meeting also. We could do with some more information on the plans as we have only two months left until the event and hopefully we can get a flurry of more guests to get us excited and this would also be a good taster in anticipation of LFCC. For me personally I would love a whole host of media guests announced but I would also settle for more sports guests as this is the only event I have seen them attend. So what are your and showmasters thoughts? Is this year going to be bigger and better? Are we going to get more high profile media and sports guests? Hopefully all of the above!!

chugs Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I couldn't agree more, but would like to see some more announcements! I really don't think this show is getting enough attention? Sherlocked and L.F.C.C. is all I'm hearing so PLEASE can we roll up some more interest here. Edited April 19, 2015 by chugs-in-credible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter13 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm really looking forward to this year. It should be something special. The line up so far is pretty amazing and a couple more guests would make this fantastic and squeeeee-worthy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorwho11 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 CM:MK is one of the only events I can definitely go to this year, and at the moment I am slightly disappointed with the guest line up compared to previous years. Currently I only plan on meeting 3 guests but I'm sure that will increase as we get closer to the event (personally I'm hoping for more Doctor Who guests, as there aren't many compared to other Showmasters events, and a few The Walking Dead guests if possible.) Don't get me wrong, I'm still very much looking forward to the event but I just hope for more attention to be paid towards CM:MK Media Guests in the coming months. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerie Tanith Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I've only got one guest lined up so far but am hopeful that more wll be announced closer to the event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSM Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 For me personally it's a bit of a weak line up and unless some names are announced that I'm interested in I won't be coming. If this is the case it'll be the second MK:CM show I've missed due to lack of interesting (for me) guests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minchb Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I'm SO EXCITED to meet Carice van Houten on my birthday weekend! A great 23rd birthday present to myself :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bundyse Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 it may be a good Collectormania but it will not be as good as some of the Collectormanias of the past when they took place in the shopping center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveamyadams Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 needs a few more guests and a top headliner for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18blue78 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 It's all good for me. It's a while since we've had so many quality sports guests & from such a wide range of sports as well. To be honest I'm probably a little too excited then I should be at my age. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsoldierspoon Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Not for me, really. I got maybe 4 guests I'm getting and a couple of others are a maybe. The fact that it's so close to LFCC is also troublesome (moneywise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony1975 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 There are a few sports and wrestling guests I am looking forward to meeting so looking forward to it. Can't comment on whether it is the best as this is the first one I will have been to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicAvatar Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I'm torn. I actually have very few guests to see this time (so far!), which is rare, but I'm spending so much money this year that this is not necessarily a bad thing. Either way, I'm going, so I'm going to have a good time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leacroft Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 from a personal point of view, this year's Collectamania is trumping the summer LFCC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loxias Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Likewise, there is only one guest at LFCC I want to meet, but 10 at CMMK - which is great, because I really hate going into London and MK is just a short drive away :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I hope it will be the best MK event ever. As showmasters flagship event it is one I always enjoy going to for nostalgic reasons (it is the oldest event they still run). I would like to see more Film & TV show guests and like other posts have said, a big headliner. That is the way to make the event big. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerie Tanith Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Last May was my first CMK and I still think that one had the best guest lineup (of 21, 22, and thus fa 23). That said, I'm not at all unhappy with this year's turnout, just think it could maybe use a few film/TV additions.

GoldenGreen Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Reducing from two to one will probably help the show this year, but the best line up ever, now you would have to be going some for that based on the fabulous guests we have had attend over the years ! I guess Collectormania 4 will always be in my memory forever, or the "Hobbit" one, now that was something else. Some great guests announced for this year so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfools Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Only 2 definite guests to meet and few maybes, hopefully they will announce someone Milton Keynes seriously gets less attention than LFCC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litafan83 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) I'm a little disappointed with the guest line up, too many sports guests, not enough film guests. So far there is only a few I like to meet, I hope they announce further guests in next month, otherwise I'm thinking that collectormania Milton Keynes is losing the magic it once had. Collectormania 19 was a fantastic event Edited April 21, 2015 by Litafan83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekare Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 its disappointing for me this year. no guests for me so unless someone who I really really want its not worth me traveling there. I wouldn't say its one of the best line ups and hasn't been for a while, not since it moved out of the shopping centre i'm sad to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannah Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 At the moment, it is full of sports guests, so if you like sport you'd enjoy it (I hate sport). Not many good guest meets for me "yet" apart from Derek Jacobi and Samuel Anderson ... Need more Doctor who and torchwood guests for me to be totally excited.... so unless this show gets the attention like the others ... then I'm not too bothered.... Lets hope there be some last minute "BIG" guests!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Closing this now as this is turning into another "I don't like the guest list" topic. Guests can and will be added all the time. Sometimes the "big" guests wll only confirm pretty close to the show. There's still several weeks to go. Hopefully everyone will find someone they really love to meet added to the list soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
