Loxias

Man in the High Castle is one of the best shows I've seen, and he is ace in it!! I also saw him pop up in 47 Ronin the other day :-)

It took me 40 minutes to collect my Diamond Pass for Ming Na Wen, and I waited until 10am before joining the queue (had photo shoots to get out of the way first). There were three queues at that stage - one for Pele, one for other Diamonds and one for buying photo shoots. The number of people in the wrong queue was high and people were getting frustrated. I too wish they would post them out, but it seemed to me the only thing there was an issue with today. Everything else was great :-D

Aiming to get there when the car park opens at around 8am - as long as I'm in for my Shanks photoshoot everything is good :-)

I prebooked parking and if you click on the parking FAQs it says: What are the stay periods for Pre-Paid Parking? Car Parks are normally open from 08:00hrs each day. Hopefully there won't already be a massive queue by then!!!

Looking good!! Do we know if the two photo areas are next to each other? I only have one clash on Saturday morning (Barrowman Batch 2 and Shanks Batch 1) - if they are close thinking i can do one then the other rather than having to leave Barrowman until the afternoon (although that's not a problem if needs be)....

Amazing!!!! I just got my diamond pass - as I wanted a photo and auto anyway and the price was hardly any difference. Exciting - I think she is fab!!!

Awww, gutted - but hopefully that's a new show we'll see her in soon!

It's after hours now Loxias so if she has cancelled they may not be able to take the tickets down immediately, they will do so as soon as they can though. I already had tickets - was just gutted if she had cancelled. Ah well - will wait and see and keep fingers crossed. Might buy a ticket for Ming-Na Wen whilst I wait!!

It says on the website (http://www.collectormania.com/birmingham/) Amanda has cancelled - is this true? Tickets are still available on Eventbrite

Mine cost £333.90 for 3 nights, booked end of May in a double room (there were cheaper, single rooms). I had reserved it at a higher price earlier but did a non-cancellable rate in May when it was on sale. Booking really far in advance doesn't always get you the best rates at that hotel I have noticed....

Don Warrington was on the bus I got on outside LFCC!!

All my autos are at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151562628164810.1073741827.717084809&type=1&l=bf2af152d7 - scroll to the bottom for the most recent :-)

If you used to use Frank's I'd suggest going to timecare http://www.timecare.co.uk/timecare/home.php These are the exact same ones Frank's used to sell as it's where they bought them from. It can be hard to find some things on the site but look at the bestsellers list at the bottom of the main page to find most of them. Ok - thanks - will try them instead! I miss being able to pick them up at the event :-(

I've been looking at the Arrowfile ones, but can't work out what size to get for the autos and photoshoot photos. I used to get all mine from Frank's but never really took much noticed what size they were - can anyone confirm before I buy some that are not the right size - I don't really do all these measurements in mm!!
