I tried accessing the collectormania site, but got an error page saying the internet didnt have permission to access it. I need to contact Jola about an refund ive had, and have no idea why. Anyone else having trouble accessing www.collectormania.com ?

Amanda Tapping
Rachael Luttrell
Avery Brooks
Just the 3 this time so far. Hope to get pictures as well if i can afford it. Im getting married in August so have to save as well haha
-
OMG yes! To have him and Amanda at the same show and meet both would be the best.

I came across Collectormania in Spirit & Destiny mag of all places. They had an ad in there mid way through the mag. I hopped on the site and saw that James Marsters was going to be there and decided there and then that i was going.... period! I roped my fiances mum into going as well and we had a blast. We missed James on the Sunday, so on the monday we were 1 of the crazy 1s queueing at 3 am to meet him. It was well worth the freezing cold and lack of sleep though. He was a diamond. He told us we were crazy for standing in those temperatures for that long just to meet him lol. Of course we met him last time he was there, and he remembered me which was the best! It was smiles and hugs all round from him when we had pics done with him.
We also enjoyed meeting Michael shanks, Chris Judge, Kevin Sorbo who gave me a bear hug lol, Kate Mulgrew who cooed over my son who was 3 mths at the time, John Barrowman, Kai Owen and Eve Myles, and of course Paul McGillion to name a few.
I'm really hoping to go in June, but with my wedding only 2 months later its going to be a squeeze for funds. Really want to meet Amanda, then all i have to do is get Richard Dean Anderson to complete my SG-1 autos. (good luck with that, yeeah i know lol)

I would be happy to see either of them for 5 seconds so feel lucky that you did get to see them, they were indeed insanely busy and I thought it would be a little mean if I joined the queue and a die hard fan couldn't be seen because of too many people, that make sense? May be another day.
James didn't do personalisations because he has arthritis in his writing hand (like me, and I know the pain of writing too much ie: GCSE's!) so he wasn't being rude also he wanted to see lots of people, John was doing personalisations (or so I heard) in the morning so if you queued up from the early hours you would have got one...
Bit rude to say they were up their own backsides when they actually attended the event... they didn't have to.
Well said. Plus JM doesnt personalise any way, plus he had hurt his arm. But when he has open queues, hes happy to have a pic. But he's ALWAYS happy to have a chat with his fans, as he loves us all. EM and JB are the same, they love their fans and are happy to have a wuick chat. Kai Owen was also lovely, had 2 pics with me coz HE didnt like the 1st one, and was happy to chat away.
As for the above post, i believe its called 'PUSHING IN'. I saw loads of people pushing in the queues, just walking up and joining their friends that had been standing there for hours. Bit off if you ask me.

Im sorry, but does it really matter if someone changes their signature? Everyone does it. I mean look at Nicolas Cage, his auto has changed everytime he signs something lol. My other half has several of his, and they're all different but they're all authentic as well.

Oh give the crew a break
The saturday and sunday shoots were heaving, there was a huge rush on the image collection, and they hardly had time to get the photos out before the owners wanted to collect. They hardly had time to replace those that were collected with new ones, before others wanted theirs. And you also have to remember that some of the photos got scratched when printing, so they had to be reprinted which took time. And if you didntwant yours as soon as they were out,you wouldnt have to come back. I waited a while before collecting mine, so the rush wasnt as bad, and i found them straight away.
Patience is key at these events.
As for you saying your surprised to see them being printed at boots, where did you think they got them done? Did you think they had their own printing booth or summat?

and regards James Masters not personalising... that is correct, my convo with him went like this,
JAMES- Hi, how are you
ME- Hi nice to meet you, getting this signed for my sisters 21st birthday on Monday
JAMES- Ah nice, i dont personalise but what is her name
ME- Its Nicky
JAMES- Nicky, well tell Nicky I say happy birthday
ME- Will so, thanks a lot, enjoy the rest of the weekend
JAMES- You to brother
Very nice guy but weird how its him that chooses not to personalise
It's not weird, it hurts when he has to write a lot
He broke his hand or so in the past and it never healed properly so to limit the pain as much as possible he decided to sign more autographs without personalising than only some with personalising.Plus he hurt his arm as well. He told me he had hurt it this weekend, which is partly why he only did 4 songs at the party. And i dont think the press-ups he did before his photo session on saturday helped lol.
-
Brandon: I see you every time in MK, and you're always nice. Ive spoken to you a few times now. I believe you were outside JM's photo session when i came out. And i have to agree with an above poster, all the crew were great concidering you were all under pressure.
-
I got a necklace from the gothic stall, and a Return of the Jedi script for my dad.
I met:
James Marsters (photo session as well)
John Barrowman (photo session as well)
Eve Myles
Kai Owen
Paul McGillion (photo session as well)
Conner Trinneer
I also met Linda Blair and June Whitfield as i was the photographer for the weekend for my group.
-
He was lovely, i saw him on friday. As it was practically empty, he was very happy to have a photo and sit and chat for a while.
-
I agree with the stage thing, it was a tad small. And JM wasnt allowed to do too many songs, plus i think he had to head of any ways. He left the venue more or less as soon as he left the stage.
The DJ before JM was a bit rubbish, but Kai and Paul made a great comedy duo, which i told Kai.

Soooooo we set off all excited at the prospect of meeting Eva Myles and John Barrowman amoungst others. I have been to many of these so I know what to expect. What I was suprised about was the fact that we had to wait and wait and wait and Eva wasn't even there yet! Finally as she arrived and our time approached we noticed the "no pictures or filming allowed, then even worse neiter Eva nor John would personalise the autographs, what's up with that, can't they spell? I felt it was rushed and was unable to have much of a memory of it which is a shame seeing as we had to travel up to get to MK in the first place.
It came across that both eva and John are so far up their backsides that us little people aren't worth the time (and please don't say they were told they couldn't have pictures taken ect because of lack of time because I believe that they have a say!) .
It seems that some people got virtual tickets where as we were told it was an open que which I imagined made some people not very happy!
Thhis event just seems to get worse and worse, don't think I will go back again, no matter who is there!
One the other hand Twany cypress, Linda Blair, Nancy Allen were wonderful, lots of time for us, pictures, personalise autograph! Great stuff!
Right, time to stop whining
Come on people, tell me off now!
Ok, first off, if you had actually spoken to EVE you would have known she was knackered. She had been working from 4am sunday morning, all the way through till 4am this morning. So give her a break
Secondly, they had to stop personalising the autos due to time constraints. And as for the 'No Posed Photos', alot of the guests did that. Some of them thought it wouldnt be fair on those who paid for a photo session with them, if they allowed everyone to have a photo with them. And they are all told by the organisers if they can do that or not.
The centre didnt open till 10am on sunday, and none of the guests were arriving till about 10:30am. There were people queueing outside to meet JB, and they were all given tickets for autos, so they could see them. I saw them both at about 2pm and they were only letting those through that had certain ticket numbers. It meant that those who had waited outside from god knows what hour could actually see them, without a rush from those who didnt.
On sunday i think they had both gone by about 5pm, as they both had other work things to do. But both were very nice to those they saw. I got to speak to both of them for a few minutes each.
-
If we do come we'll be eating first, so i guess i'll have to text you a rough time.
-
Good Luck, i know the one im staying in is booked up. All the closer ones to the centre are preety booked as well, so you may find one a bit further away.
-
The only way they can do that, is if the person getting that ticket isnt palnning on meeting JB themselves. SM have now said, i think, that its only one ticket per person, as in previous yrs some people have been greedy and taken several just so they can sell the autos on for more money. That meant that loads of fans missed out.
I was told last yr that i was only allowed one ticket because of that reason. I wanted to get a ticket for a friend to save the both of us being squashed at the onslaught lol.
-
thats an idea, im on there as well under the name of Louise Teal. I shall be wearing glasses though, so if you want to see how i'll be showing up, im on faceparty as Hania. Theres a few images in the album called me and a few others.
-
some people have to be either slow on the uptake, or just plain silly sometimes lol. the guest list with prices and days is as clear to me as it can be. cant see how someone can be confused about it.
-
Have a feeling thats the one my groups staying in. I know its one of the 2 on Willen Lake, we stay there everytime.
-
I know that some shoot tickets have the day printed on it. Mine for JM has the saturday on it
-
the only chance you have of getting one now is if someone is selling one they can no longer use. some people buy them then decide not to go, or cant go for some reason, so they post on here that they have one for sale. keep an eye out on here, but you will have to be fast as there are loads of people that missed out.
-
yeah ok then thanks. my emails in my sig.
Which days are you going?
in Collectormania 15

Both Kim and myslef will be there all 3 days, as usual lol.
