Words cannot express just how excited this announcement has made me. Thank you Showmasters. This year is shaping up to be one of the best line-ups yet. My Action Jackson Blu-Ray will look awesome signed by the man himself :)

this years guest list is shaping up rather nicely. How about some horror guests now showmasters?? Pretty pleeeeeease :)

Amazing guest. Great work SM :)

I see Vernon Wells is going to Newcastle. I'd love it if you could get him to Glasgow.

My favourite thing that I own

I've said it before and i'll say it again. From the greatest movie EVER!, Mr Sam J. Jones, Mr Brian Blessed and Mr Timothy Dalton. Would also appreciate if you could persuade Mr Carl Weathers to attend also. Come on showmasters, Quote me happy!

I'ts almost like I wrote this list myself :) Braehead area definitely wouldn't be big enough for Bruce Campbell.

Remember there is Newcastle as well, I have been to that show twice now and it is reasonably close by for many people in Scotland. 2.5 hours on the train from Glasgow (1.5 hours from Edinburgh) - and there is even a stop in Motherwell - and very reasonable train fares if bought in advance. The arena is very close to the railway station in Newcastle. Motherwell resident here, so that would be the train sorted anyways. I thought about going to Newcastle this year, but something came up, can't quite remember what right now though, but it came up. I always keep an eye on the Newcastle guest lists though, just in case somebody catches my eye. I admit it would have to be somebody special to get me to travel down.

Hurry up Showmasters and get it posted

Personally, I like Braehead arena and wouldn't mind it staying put for future shows. Having the upstairs area for the more popular guests is a great addition which meant that the virtual queuing wasn't required. The queues that I waited in for Robert and Michael were quite long and took a bit of time to go down. Don't think anybody was complaining too much as you could see that everyone reaching the front was getting a few minutes one-on-one with the guests and not just herded through as quick as possible. The quieter upstairs area also meant that you could have a good chat with the other folks in the queue. I've been on the forums for a few years now, and read a few stories about the larger shows. Like how they can become full to capacity, people not getting in and even people not being able to meet/get to photos/guests on schedule. The bigger guest names also bring about a bigger fee which would result in larger prices for autos and photos. As much as I would love to meet the likes of Michael J Fox and Sigourney Weaver etc. I just couldn't justify paying £90-£100 for it. The smaller scale of the Glasgow show, I suppose is part of it's charm. Rather than moving to a bigger venue, could we Scottish fans not get two events a year. Our neighbours down South get several a year.

Those funko pop figures were everywhere lol

Thanks! Had an amazing time! You have some cool photos too! And lol at the Englund expense! Couldn't resist. It's not everyday you get to meet one of your heros.i When/If he ever comes back I'm defo gonna invest in a replica glove. Saw a few people getting them signed and was mega jealous :) This is very true! You totally should get a glove!check this out Matthewmandarksidefxstudio.com...this is where I got my custom freddy v Jason machete and my freddy v Jason glove...think the glove was about £180 but ones you put it on and feel the power it's worth it lol Bit steep for me, but they look great. Malky, were you wearing a white hoody btw?? While standing in the queue for Robert (first of the three), I saw a guy with the same black elm street poster as you. The guy was carefully putting it back into a tube after getting it signed. Just curious if that was you.

Great day. I got to meet a 'Mr Muscle' and a 'Green Cross Code Man'. Come back again Mr Home, it was a pleasure meeting you on Saturday.

Totally agree. Now I feel guilty about all those times I watched her get slaughtered by Freddy

The arena itself is a great venue in a great location but just feel its getting too small for the ever increasing crowd.

Ok here goes, I'll try and keep it realistic. First of all Sam J Jones,Brian Blessed or anybody else from Flash Gordon (My favourite film EVER!!!) More classic WWF era wrestlers would be great (Hacksaw and Ted were amazing guests to talk to) I'm not into thrones or Dr who, but I do love the 80's. Any horror/action stars from this era would be great. Carl Weathers would be epic! Too many to mention at the moment, but I'm sure I'll add to the thread down the road.

As much as I love the location of the venue, I have to agree that it did get extremely busy as the day went on. Apart from that, it was a great day. Hopefully next year can be even bigger and better.

So wanted one of these.. Meeting Mr Englund for the first time on Saturday.. Meeting Mr Englund for the second time on saturday & Amanda Wyss Hacksaw was a genuinely nice guy..Grado is hilarious. My only real purchase from the stalls prompted another swift visit to meet Mr Englund lol. Mr Biehn getting me all excited at the prospect of a new aliens movie... Wrestlin' talk was a good laugh Hooooooooo! The wrestlin' selfie taken after the talk. I'm the dafty with the ACDC t-shirt middle left lol.

great photos mands. I got a few which I'll stick on later. Gotta admit, I lost a bit of self control and blew most of my budget on Mr Englund. Totally worth it though :)

My thoughts exactly. Every guest I spoke to yesterday seemed like they were really enjoying it and happy to be there. Amanda was a pleasure to talk to, hacksaw was amazing and Grado was..well Grado :) More of the same next year please showmasters.

Ha. He did it during the talk with the microphone. Proper sh#t myself it was so loud lol

One of the nicest guests ive met. Real pleasure to talk to the man. He wasn't too busy when I was there so managed to have a chat about the golden age of wwf. Great guest.

so much better having the bigger guests upstairs. Got really warm though. For those going tomorrow, make sure you carry some water.
