Based on the Saturday
Highs
Peter Capaldi was great during the photoshoots, interacting with all the guests.
The same can be said for Paul McGann who took an interest in my Goku Tshirt
Ivana Milisevic was lovely, warm and friendly
The retro video game booth was a blast with the lightgun games this year, was a good way to spend an hour or so between shoots after I had run low on money
The staff dealing with the Peter Weller and Peter Capaldi photoshoots were top notch. I let them know of a clash and they were both very accomidating. This is a much better experience from something similar happened back in 2015 and I was basically told tough and wait my turn in line.
Lows
Peter Weller not turning up on time for his morning photoshoot causing said clash (can't be helped I know) but later on I find out they have given more time for his shoot during an empty space and I only find out whilst randomly checking schedule. So I quickly rush over there with plenty of time left only to find out that because not enough people turned up that they let him go. There is a PA system at the Olympia it may have been an idea to use that to announce his added slot.
I felt the stalls were quite expensive for what they were offering this year (personal preference and will accept that people are allowed to charge what they want for their goods)
By which I mean the stalls wern't very varied. A good chunk of them were Funko stands which while I do collect I had no interest in since they are so easy to acquire in everyday shops these days.
Food pricing was abysmal as was the choices. £2.50 for a can of coke?! Also just because you put a super hero's name on the meals doesn't mean I am going to pay £5 for a freaking sausage roll.
