  1. Surely the photographer could underexpose on the camera to compensate? I'm sure they're not cheap cameras so should have the option...
  2. Sad news for some, but from a purely selfish point of view, it's ideal. For those in retail, getting the necessary few days off during the pre-Xmas period (Noc/Dec) is nigh on impossible. Here's to a great show next year!
  3. 1.Showmasters do listen. I've been coming to their shows for 12 years now & they do read the feedback. Some may remember the 'good ol days' of photoshoots going off to get developed! The 1-way stair solution being an overnight idea this time. 2. Unorganised people. I heard people swear at staff (volunteers) as they'd missed their photoshoot. The schedule has been online for a few days with maps & were also displayed in the halls. Take a pic of one on your phone or camera. Just an idea... Plus if you clash, speak up & they will help. 3. I didn't get all I wanted but you have to prioritise & be realistic. Someone cancelling through work or illness is not the organiser's fault & in my experience they try to get them back. 4. Robert Englund Diamond pass: THAT photoshoot, say no more! 5. Due to the amount of people I'd like to meet it is a stressful (& hot) experience. However when I look back at who I have met over the years (Fisher, Nimoy, Tyson, Weaver...) it's worth it! I'd rather have a chance of meeting someone than none at all. 6. However, Robert Englund NOT signing on Sunday was a massive oversight. Thankfully I met him on Saturday (as I was considering leaving my glove for Sunday as I needed it for the shoot).
  4. Hi, is anyone else staying at YHA Earl's Court? I'm there Thurs-Sunday nights, & could be looking to share a taxi Sat/Sun morning, to get there quicker! Looking forward to a busy weekend, Rich
  5. Any chance of her husband, Wayne Michaels? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0584533/ He was the stuntman who performed the bungee jump at the start of GoldenEye, as well as stunts for 2 Indiana Jones films.
  6. Right man, right place, right time. He's the best to manage the busiest areas! Did very well to cope with 400+ people & keep the walkway clear too :)
  7. The event is Sat-Mon, however the bus listings are Fri-Sun (the last event), can this be clarified? I'm travelling up & back from London each day, & back home Mon afternoon!
  8. Do I need to book 2 group photographs as there are different 007 guests each day? The shop does not list Sat or Sun seperately so I would assume this is the case. Thanks Rich P.S. Will there be large (20"x16") Buzz Aldrin prints available & if not can we bring our own?
  9. Hi all, I'm looking to share a room in Brum for Fri/Sat. I'd also appreciate any hotel recommendations as I'm not familiar with Brum itself, as I usually attend the MK/London events. Thanks guys!
  10. Cocoon & Cocoon 2 are on Film 4 this week (Cocoon this evening!). Looking forward to seeing them again & Tahnee in November
  11. Hi, so much for my plan to 'commute' to MK each day from London! My 45min express journey by train has turned into 2 hours by coach/bus on Sunday... Does anyone have a spare seat if you're travelling up Sunday? I've got 3 photoshoots booked for Sunday so would really appreciate it...Thanks Richard
  12. Kevin Conroy, the voice of the animated Batman (including the astounding "Batman: Arkham Asylum" video game) would be an awesome guest! Would appeal to Batman/comic book fans & gamers alike. Here's hoping...
  13. Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the crew/queue on Nathan's table yesterday. On explaining I had a train to catch yesterday afternoon, I was fast tracked to the front & Nathan was chased up (from the Green Room - he was 30+ mins late coming back!!!) So apolgies to the others in the queue, but I did make my train with 5 or so mins to spare! Had a top weekend over all, & looking forward to LFACC & future Collectormanias. Rich
  14. I found out when he 1st arrived at MK, when I was getting my Tron & B5 photos done. So I met him again on Sunday with my autograph book. He signed it fine & I asked him to add "Heroes" underneath, as he was not allowed to disclose his character name. Apparently it's the 1st thing he's signed 'connected' with the show as he only started filming on the Friday!
  15. Thanks to those who've posted John & Eve photos...I had a high ticket & by then no photos were allowed (although I'd rather have their auto & no photo, than neither). Another great show, & thanks goes to the crew for helping with my own photos too.
  16. Great crossover potential with both genre shows....as Jo Portman (Spooks) & Doctor Who (Tallulah). Also can bring her hubby, Raza Jaffrey (Zaf in Spooks). Perhaps more Spooks guests too?
  17. Great pics, especially the Hayden ones as it was so hard to get a decent pic of her! Thanks to everyone who's posted pics so far & to those who will...
  18. I tend to agree with the comments but maybe Showmasters could put it on the sign that "only screen grabs are available at the desk" before you've queued & paid... that way you'd have the chance to try & get a pic off a dealer beforehand. I remember how pleased I was to see the mixed quality of William Shatner's pics (via a sly look) & bought 2 off a dealer before I met him. As someone who travels up from the SW & stay over for every day of the event it's just not financially viable to buy a pic for each guest I plan to meet as I end up meeting most of them!
  19. Hurrah the pics are up However you can only enlarge the 1st 50-60. Pity! It was a great weekend & here's to #10!!!
  20. Hi there. I'm a SW (Plymouth)-based veteran of both Collectormania & LFACC. Feel free to e-mail me (richyrocket@blueyonder.co.uk) esp as I travel up by train. If not I hope you get the advice you need & enjoy the event to its fullest! Rich
  21. Hi, my 1st post here (be kind). I thought most of the photos were ok. Again disappointed in no Xander T2 pics. How about the pics are displayed near the entrance so you could buy pics off dealers if they weren't up to scratch/not the films/TV you want? I had trouble at Collectormania when I ended up paying for a printout of a Nichelle Nicholls pic & wasn't allowed back out to buy one off a dealer! Enjoyed the weekend & feel sorry for Showmasters getting flak for the Val situation. Rich
