DookuDub Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I am confused to why there are all of these first time signers. Especially Zam Wessel who is only listed to be played by one actress. I am hoping someone knows. I havent seen a SM event that has this many first timers.

Carlosreddevil Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 This isn't a criticism, just a genuine question but ... why does it matter? Isn't it a good thing for fans and collectors if rare first time signers are going to be at events? Why do we need to know why there's so many? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookuDub Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 No that wasnt me complaining it was a question. I havr no problem with first time signers. I was wondering why there were so many for CM 22 as ive never seen these first time guests at an SM event before. Personally i dont see what the hype is with people that walked behind camera once but i have no problem with them attending. I prefer to meet the main characters but thats just me. I can see why some people might want to meet them 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerie Tanith Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I have no problem with first time signers but I'll be honest here, I've never heard of half these people. There's only one or two people (at a push) attending so far that I'm excited for, but a huge amount of first time signers that I haven't heard of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why some people might want to meet them Surely if you had seen them at a SM event before then they wouldn't be first time signers at this event?? Also, why even comment about not understanding what the hype is if you have no problem with it? Theres lots of guests that I have no interest in ever meeting but I wouldn't waste my time by commenting on it. Commenting that you dont like such and such a guest just comes across as selfish as there will be plenty of others who are interested in them!

mashbury20 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I agree with Faerie Tanith. I have been a regular visitor to Showmasters events over the last few years, but this one has the least inspiring line up of any that I have seen. I fully understand that the Star Wars completists will be happy with the line-up of first-time signers and I'm pleased that they are excited about their attendance, but to be honest, that doesn't float my boat at all. Unless there are some biggish name announcements being held back, it is sadly looking like this is the first Collectormania event in a long time that I won't be attending. Amanda Tapping and Chris Barrie are the only big name draws for me, & I met Amanda already at LFCC 2013 and Chris at the Entertainment & Media Show a couple of years back. Just hoping the guys at Showmasters have a cunning plan up their sleeves... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree, great for Star Wars fans, but just not enough guests from other things that would justify the travel, hotel costs etc. It's a shame, was looking forward to this one too. Hopefully nearer the time this will change and we will get some other guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraHawk Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) I agree with Faerie Tanith.

I fully understand that the Star Wars completists will be happy with the line-up of first-time signers and I'm pleased that they are excited about their attendance. Well I only collect Doctor Who and Star Wars, and have some remarkably obscure names in my collection, but I just can't muster any excitement about 'unknowns'. I'd possibly get them if I was there (and be annoyed if I worked out they'd been in Who too - which would have meant I'd be spending much more) but they just aren't worth making the visit especially. I'm going to be closer to MK than normal that weekend - the extra little hop would be cheaper than normal, but at present it's not worth the time, or cost.

jonathan Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm a massive Star Wars fan but for most of these I will decide on the day...if they are from original trilogy I have no problem as I add them to my poster but with the prequels I'm not so fussed unless it's more main cast or known minor roles. The big draws for me at this event are definitely The Nation of Domination and George Groves and David Haye without a doubt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraHawk Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 There have always been first timers, it just more of a thing seems to made of it this time. I know there's still over six weeks to go, but there were nearly twice as many guests on the final list for last year than we have so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DookuDub Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Also I doubt SM would do an event without a few big headliners as they wanna attract new people to these events and make them want to go to an event. At the mo here are only people for the hardcore auto collectors like first timers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the mo here are only people for the hardcore auto collectors like first timers With three weeks left let's hope that's the case. If not, there's always the 300 or so tables of merchandise to serve as a decent attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephy749 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Because he's in cardiff the week before instead :/ I wish he could come to CM22 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Not all guests can be at every events unfortunately. Jason has done CM MK not too long ago. The Cardiff locals would probably say "finally our show gets a nice and exclusive guest too." That's something that comes up frequently... "London and MK are getting all the good guests!"
