All dasys are likely to be very busy. 8)I am staying the whole time, its up 2 u. I only went for a day last time and managed to see everyone 9)No idea 10) There is a ticket system called virtual queueing so u dont have to wait in line for as long Hope that helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IErisedMalfoy Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Well, Milton keynes is about an hours drive from London (I think - not too good at geography), but i think its north west of london, so shouldnt be as far for you. I dunno really, but I think thats where it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukelijahlover Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Hi all! How do you mean they provide photos? Do you just ask say Elijah if you can have a photo with him and then his assistant comes in and takes it? Please explain as this is my first time at Collectormania and I'm crapping myself!!!

Rhi Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 well the pics are on the desk and you pick which one that you want signed and in answer to who takes the pic, my friend did mine for me...i'm sure the assistant would take the pic if they were available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolofatook Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 The assisstant will take the photo if you ask nicely! If there is lots of people waiting there may not be time to do photos. But fingers crossed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissAnonymous Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 5) Do i need to provide my own photo?6) Where can i get a good quality photo if so It'll be my first time as well, and I haven't figured out everything a 100% myself yet. But just a tip, you're not restricted to having a photo signed. I might take a DVD or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emotionalvampire Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Well, Milton keynes is about an hours drive from London (I think - not too good at geography), but i think its north west of london, so shouldnt be as far for you. I dunno really, but I think thats where it is! Thats a about right, but depends on where abouts in London you are. Junction 21 of the M25, head north up the M1 and the easiest juntion to get of is 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbal Movie Fan Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 So could i take my LOTR dvd, and get all the LOTR cast to sign it?? Would it cost the same, or will they do it free!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted July 30, 2003 Showmasters Admin Share Posted July 30, 2003 Not sure where in South Wales you are but Cardiff to Milton Keynes is about a 31/2 hour drive going at a steady pace. It's a pretty straightforward route, M4-M25-M1. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohan Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 i wish it was not £15 for every signature, i meen it just does not seem right to pay £15 for a signed photo and then another £15 to have a small trading card or something signed. Is there no way of reducing the charge for additional personal items after buying 1 8x10 from the guest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbit_luva777 Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 yeah the assistants will take the photos but i was diappointed last time cos the pic didnt come out that the assistant took of us and billy i would also recommend goin in smaller groups for photos so that u can actually stand next to the stars rather than like my friend who got stuck on the end!

POTATOES Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 i would also recommend goin in smaller groups for photos so that u can actually stand next to the stars rather than like my friend who got stuck on the end! definately good idea!! we gotta remember to do that this time!!!! tho i guess she was lucky not to get her arm nearly broke by super-squeezer billy hehe bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Jack O'Neill Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 (edited) i wish it was not £15 for every signature, i meen it just does not seem right to pay £15 for a signed photo and then another £15 to have a small trading card or something signed. Is there no way of reducing the charge for additional personal items after buying 1 8x10 from the guest? People have said before that it seems expensive for the autographs but you are not being charged anything for attending and other shows charge anything from £8-£60 to go into events like this so paying £15 per item is about right, I usually only have a photo signed and a picture taken with the person, last time took about £160 and spent it all but this time looks like I better bring about £250 Edited August 2, 2003 by Colonel Jack O'Neill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissAnonymous Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 There are so many great guests this time, that I'll have to spend a fortune. This means I'll probably have to sell my car, and possibly even my kid sister into slave labour. So you can see the event will be tinched with some sadness for me, 'cause I love them both! On the brighter side, I'll see my Hobbits, yay!! P.S.: Only joking, haven't even got a car!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
