I've never been to a big event like this, or any convention and have always thought that as soon as someone does one close to me, I'll attend it, as I have always wanted to go to one, but as there are no guests that make this a must attend event for me, many of whom I have no interest in at all, then I stand by my statement about it being a poor line up. To someone else, it may be the best line up ever, however me and my friends won't be attending unless the line up improves. As I have previously stated, I have been impressed b many previous event line ups, and am impressed by the Milton Keynes line up, but the Manchester one just sucks! Sorry, but it does! Good luck with the show, hopefuly the first of many in Manchester! P.s. Not all of us can afford to travel or go to other events, so the one's we go to have to be special and worth the money, or what's the point?

Sorry if it sounds like I'm coming off like a miserable old sod, but when I heard about the Manchester event, I was thinking "Great! Finally a great event I can get to", but when I look at some of the excellent line ups previous events have had, I do personally feel it's a major let down. There are a few big names, but none of which I would be disappointed about if I missed out on. I really, really hope this changes as I would love to attend a Collectormania event, but there has to be at least a few guests I want to see for it to be worth my while, and there isn't at the moment. The next Milton Keynes event looks a million times better, but due to work and other personal commitments, there's no way I can attend it.

Due to me not being able to attend other events around the country, and this one being a reasonable distance via train, as I don't drive, I was really looking forward to the event until I saw the line up. A few questions! Where are the big names? (There aren't as many as at Collectormania's other events). Where are the Buffy / Angel / Smallville / 24 guests? Why are there so many guests attending whose roles aren't that big? Why book four artists when half of that amount would be more than enough and another proper star would be better? Where are the female guests? I am really, really disappointed by this line up, and hope a few bigger name attractions may improve this situation.
