JOLLYWOOD Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I love going to collectormania but for me this time i think the guests are very poor and theres only a few i would want to get autos off so i think ill keep my cash for the london show.Its not worth my time comming from wales to this one im very sad as i was looking forward to it but with guests pulling out and not enough horror and star wars guests im going to give this one a miss anyone else feel the same.........this is not having a go at showmasters its just how i feel....the london show should rock.

lil_aber_lisa Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 sorry you feel this way, but there will be cons where there aren't many guests that you want to see, but i bet there are other people bouncing at the chance of meeting these people , im from wales and im going not only to see the few guests i want, but to meet my friends and make a wicked weekend out of it. I dont find i enjoy cons by the number of guests i wanna meet, but by the atmosphere i feel when i get there and the fun me and my friends make lil lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted April 19, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 19, 2006 Some love it, some hate it. Some won't be coming, some think it's the best event ever! I always find that people who have more specific tastes tend to be more disappointed because these events end up being quite varied. Luckily for me, the guests aren't everything, so I'm always happy to attend :) It's always a shame when there's not something for everyone, but that'd be impossible anyway!

Evil_Faith Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) I'll be going as I really enjoy the atmosphere at Collectormanias and it's a good chance to catch up with friends. I don't usually meet too many guests - only 3 this time, but I've always had a fun day when I go. I do have to say that C9 does lack a big headlining guest like at previous events. C8 had William Shatner, C7 had James Marsters and C6 had Carrie Fisher but now that Ian won't be attending C9 lacks a big name.

Victor Van Dort Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I'm disapointed that Ian's cancelled, but there's still plenty for me. I will always come to SM event even if there weren't any guests because of the great atmosphere & there's usually something good on the stalls. I usually go 'cos I like hanging out and having a laugh (William, I'm looking @ you! ). Guests aren't everything. They're just a delightfully expensive bonus! Roll on CM9. What will happen next....?

LYVIE Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 same here,I'm not going but I decided before Ian's cancellation so that's why I'm not disappointed today will see for C10 if guests are great enough but maybe I'd consider LFACC,I still don't know... *LYVIE* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagart Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I'd only be disappointed if one of the Firefly guests dropped out. I have yet to see one episode of 'Lost' so the loss (no pun intended) of Ian means nothing to me. Is he such a big star on the show? I think the fact that people are saying that it's not like past Collectormania's shows that SM try to mix it up - not everyone's into Star Wars, Trek, Buffy, LOTR, etc. I think this group of stars is a bit eclectic and that's not a bad thing.

GoldenGreen Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 As always, its horses for courses. Some people will think this show is the best thing since sliced bread, others won't like it because no LOTR, Buffy etc Whoever, Showmasters get, they do seem to listen to requests from the Forum, lots of requests for Lost Boys and the Coreys for example. And overall they do have a nice varied range of guests, that go across a lot of different genres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LYVIE Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) Ian means nothing to me. Is he such a big star on the show? I only saw the season 1 & he has a big role on the show but he also played in Young Americans,Rules of Attraction & some another movies,he's quite famous. I think the fact that people are saying that it's not like past Collectormania's shows that SM try to mix it up - not everyone's into Star Wars, Trek, Buffy, LOTR, etc. I agree we can't be happy with the guests everytime but the topic title was about so people have post their feelings,disappointment & unhappy minds. I know Showmasters does his best every Events but this time for C9 about guests & not only guests (the days of stars signing),a lot of members are unhappy with C9 but I know a lot of fans are glad too & I'm sure C9 would be a huge sucess whatever some are unhappy or not. *LYVIE* Edited April 19, 2006 by LYVIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teroknor34 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Can understand why some people are now considering not going due to some guests having either cancelled or having their appearance days changed,or not going at all due to there being no guests that they particularly want (ie LOTR,Star Wars etc). As has been previously said there will be other days and other events for them to get the chance to meet whom they want.But they may have to realise that this type of thing does happen fairly often to quite a few other events other than those run by Showmasters. I suspect that for anyone who wants an autograph from a particular guest who is signing on a day they are not going that MSPG are still taking orders.I know this is not what everyone wants but for those who don't mind getting an autograph without meeting the guest this is an option. I am having to ask a friend of mine to get me autographs from guests only there on the Monday as I will be back home by then. As for the rest of the guests there are still plenty I want to get as I have a very broad taste in Scifi/Film/TV which covers a few decades as well so there will always be someone to get for me.

AnnieHarbuckle Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I'm not really bothered to be honest. It's the experience that counts more for me and if I get to see a few guests then that's a plus side!! I always have fun no matter who the guests are. I'll deffo still be going! I can't wait! Annie.

LYVIE Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) I always have fun no matter who the guests are yep the atmosphere is great at Collectormania,meet friends & stars + the shopping centre is brilliant. but sometimes the guests aren't great enough to make the travel from home to the Event especially for non-UK residents. we don't complain (well for my part I don't) but just post what I think about this subject topic. *LYVIE* Edited April 19, 2006 by LYVIE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie79 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I weren't able to come to C9 in the first place, but Now that Ian's cancelled, if I was able to come, I wouldn't be coming anymore. Ian is going to be a major loss for C9 imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
