  1. Having attended London Film and Comic Con since the first event at the Wembley Exhibition followed by many years going to Earls Court 2 (including the not so good year in very dark Earls Court 1) I must say I really like Olympia. I had not attended Comic Con for a few years and had not been since the move from Earls Court, but decided to come this year due to Richard Dean Anderson and Jason David Frank. I think that Olympia is the best layout for such an event with separated areas, while yes there is room for improvement in terms of photo areas being together, it’s a great venue. I see many people are saying that Showmasters “oversold” the event and that the venue is not designed for such capacity. Can I just say this is total c**p, there is simply no way the venue, the local council or Showmasters would risk breaking the capacity restrictions, the fines they would risk by doing so would likely mean the end of the company not even taking into account possible law suits! While the venue was busy at times and has its bottlenecks, it was never at any stage dangerous to people. I have been to shows at Olympia before which are much, much busier then Comic Con, the venue is designed to take that capacity. I look forward to them taking over the entire venue next year and growing the show. It has come a long, long way since the first small show I attended at Wembley many years ago.
  2. With a batch 3 I would say you'll be fine doing the morning shoot. With a batch 3 I would say you'll be fine doing the morning shoot. Thanks for the advice.....Been a few years since I have been to this event so very much looking forward to things.
  3. I have a Richard Dean Anderson Sunday Batch 3 Photo shoot. What I am trying to work out is if I would stand a chance of getting the photo at his 09:30 shoot or just better off aiming for the afternoon (15:20) one! I am going to seriously struggle with the afternoon shoot due to a flight late afternoon that I need to catch! So I guess I can aim for the morning and hope it goes quickly! TooTall? Any advice?
  4. Hi Dave Any chance these can be made available to purchase online at all?
  5. Can't wait, looks like this is going to be a good event! Just hoping/praying the prices are not matching the official US cons but Showmasters prices which I am sure they are not OTT if Showmasters are involved.
  6. Broken link for me I am afraid!
  7. Wow they just annoiced the first guest via email: William Shatner Patrick Stewart Kate Mulgrew Scott Bakula Avery Brooks And Showmasters are a official partner with CBS so this is going to be a great event I think! Cant wait to see what ticket prices are! Hopefully in line with normal Showmasters prices.
  8. Dave Thanks for that, preordered yesterday, will pop in post today. James
  9. Is it best to pre-order it via the website and then post the photo off with a receipt or phone first and then send? I think I will send the photo over that I want signed as that way I am sure its what I want.
  10. Just a quick question. I am no longer able to attend Autographica and would like Ed Mitchell autograph, if I was to preorder would I be able to state the type of photo I wanted the autograph on or even better send in the photo I want? Also if I wanted a mission number added would that be classed as a personalisation? Thanks in advanced for any help.
  11. There goes my one reason for coming....but understand his reasons, as would all do the same in his shoes. Best wishes goes out to him and his son.
  12. Quick question, been about a year or so since ive been to a event, and just wanted to check that I can still pay for autographs from the guests on the day of the show before going up to the autograph queue. As Im after the Apollo guests and dont want to care large amount of cash about with me!
  13. Hardcore Justice more like Hardcore Joke!! Must say there was not one thing on that PPV that I enjoyed and I am a massive old school ECW fan, I was even at the ECW arena for the first PPV to watch the hardcord legend Terry Funk win the ECW world title. Now even through I am a fan of the old school I understand things move on, the fact that there was a direct chair shot to the head in this PPV just made me fill sick. In the day maybe, but since the whole Chris Beniot incident and other things this has been a banned move, I dont remember when it was last used in WWE, ROH have come out and said they are going to be banning it so on god earth did Dixie Carter allow it to be done on a TNA PPV!!! I just dont get it! I also love the fact that on Impact you had hogan on screen saying that they all have to make room for the new guys and clear the path!! (Sting, Nash, Bishoff, Jarrett also standing in the ring), as the guy that is booking the show why not get the hell of the screen to make way for the likes of AJ, Beer Money etc etc etc!! Just dont get TNA these days what so ever!! And what ever happened to Joe?? Please leave and go to WWE!
  14. Wow this is a London Film and Comic Con level guest!! Bloody amazing. Any idea on cost of autographs?
  15. Musicmania, nearly forgot about that even apart from Blaze Bailey being a complete legend and by far the biggest guest there! It ranged from Iron Maiden Legend Blaze all the way to S Club 7 member!! Most guests where of the S Club 7 level guest quality!! Explains why there was never a Musicmania 2. I think it could work through as a zone within Collectormania much as they do now with Sportsmania which also started out as its own event.
  16. Your best bet is to go to a framing shop and get them custom made, that way you can get them with a mount so that the autograph ink does not touch the glass (Reduces the risk of sticking if you try and take the poster out). The guy that did mine made it so that I can easily remove the posters so that I can get further autographs on them as and when needed. Only issue not the cheapest of options, spent £110 on each of my poster frames. Saying that I must have about £1000 of autographs on some of them, so a small investment to keep a item safe. Would also recommend getting acid free mounting card and tape to mount the poster, as acid mounts can make some ink types run.
  17. So the Monday Night Wars II is over in under 4/5 months as TNA have annouced they are moving IMPACT back to Thursday night!! What was the f**king point, to me it looks like the company is moving backwards! Hogan is doing nothing but kill this once great company! I hope to god that Jeff Jarrent decides to leave the company and start a new one on his own again, as I bet it pains him to see what Hogan is doing to "HIS" company.
  18. I now see this as a chance for WWE to pick up some great talent. Just picture Daniels Vs Joe at a Wrestlemania! Or a dream match for me would be Bryan Danielson Vs Chris Daniels! Lets hope WWE start picking up talent that leave TNA as I suspect there might be some very good free agents very soon on the market.
  19. Its been confirmed, great shame and I see this and things to come. I would love it if he shows up at WWE. Would not be surprised is Joe is the next to go.
  20. NXT sounds interesting, and a good progression from the Tough Enough brand. Still dont think SciFi is the right channel for it in the US, but will have to wait and see how well it does.
  21. Watched Nitro last night on Bravo....................sorry Impact! Seems nothing new, looks and feels like the same of cr*p they did in the 90's. eric bischoff I dont mind on TV, he has a pospose on there same as when he was the GM on RAW. Hogan all I can say is what is the point! I give he about three months until they go down further down hill and die. If the rumours are true that they are going Monday nights following the press conference today! I give it weeks before WWE makes them crash and burn. What waiting game for when HHH, Steph or Vince turns up on Impact saying they now own the company!!
  22. Watched Impact last night on Bravo....by god its going down the pan fast!! Mr Anderson!! The guy is just having squash matches each week with people that are far better wrestlers then him! Natureboy AJ!! Does not work, but I do like the new Joe angle, so atleast its not another Angle Vs AJ match. Still god help TNA!!
  23. TheViolentMessiah could you not have put a spoiler warning in the sub line of this tread and NOT said who won the Rumble....not everyone stays up till 1am to watch!!
  24. R.I.P TNA...............it was great knowing you!
  25. I remember as I went to the very first PPV they did with the Gauntlet for the Gold....I still think six sides is better and give TNA a unqiue edge and look.
