andker08 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I have to say that this must have been the best CMG to date. Cost me a lot but well worth it. My thanks to the crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyMichaels Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) I have to say that this must have been the best CMG to date. Cost me a lot but well worth it. My thanks to the crew. Seconded. Of the three CManias I have attended, this was by far and away the best. Hey, Mel - post that pic of me and you! Lastly, props, kudos and manly hugs to Jason for being perhaps the coolest guy on the planet. Edited August 29, 2009 by MartyMichaels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest anniekins Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Hi, I completely agree it was a very busy day and must be one of the best Glasgow shows to date! Definately an expensive day ( Mick Spring you know what you did! my husband is in trouble! LOL!). All in all it was more appreciated by my husband rather than me, due to the fact there was no SW MOC's to be had. LOL! I cannot believe the hundreds he spent! So in retaliation, I went shopping in the Mall....Hmmm...that should teach him! LOL! Anyway I digress, can I just thank on behalf of my family, Mick Spring for the Liam Neeson mounted and framed autograph, the tri-signed Mark Hamill, shelagh Fraser and Phil Brown picture, the Don Henderson picture and all the celebration II signed pictures. Also for pointing my husband in the direction of the guy who had the Green Green Grass multi signed framed picture and allowing me to mention his name for a deal. Thank you so much Mick, but really you know what you did LOL!! Also remember my 'order' for next time! LOL. Also can I thank Starwarsguy on behalf of my husband for the George Lucas mail away AFA U85 and The Dealer who sold the orange snake yoda variation and A-wing pilot. He is chuffed with the T-shirts and the deal you both came to! A special thank you to the Dealer who sold my husband the 3 MOC Ewoks and the Battlestar Galactica vintage figures. An excellent deal and went beyond the expected by pointing out other stuff on sale on other stalls. A true Gentleman. Thank you. Thank you also to the Guests we visited, Very friendly and very approachable. Thank you for being so professional! The professional photographer who is a gentleman and exceptionally courteous. You have excellent customer focus and I thank you very much. A true professional who will accomodate your every wish! I also wish to thank the Night is Day team for the DVD and Comic which they so kindly signed. Lastly (but not least) the stormtrooper, Darth Vader, Tie pilots, Scout troopers, Predator, Spiderman, The Marine guy (with the Dredd sticker on his armour and Scapey for allowing us to take pictures of themselves and their prop collection. Can I just say that Shaun of the Dead shirt is AMAAAZING! I had to take pictures of your collection (Lower end indeed...such a fantastic collection!). Special thanks to the Biker Scout who was nothing but professional curteous and extremely friendly and polite. All of you are an absolute credit to your hobby and profession sirs! And finally to all the crew who I had conversations and dealings with. Easily approachable, very helpful and polite. Very positive and I would just like you to know one of you made my husbands day by saying ' you can have my autograph' and ' do you want me in the picture too' The thumbs up crew guy when my husband was taking a picture of David Prowse. An extremely nice and funny guy. Thank you. If I have left anyone out I apologise. A truly exceptional day and if you can make it tomorrow definately worth going just for the incredible atmosphere! It is truly worthy in every aspect. Thank you so much guys, this is what makes me a regular at Collectormania Glasgow! Best wishes and every success to everyone. Ann and Family XXX P.S. Get more vintage SW MOC's next time!!! LOL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanith Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Fab day was great to meet Robert Picardo, will post my pics in the other thread when they finish uploading. Robert probably could have talked for longer in his talk if he hadn't been told that the time was us. My friend asked him if he could wear his hat for the photoshoot but he declined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenshayde Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I concur with everyone. For once I went to one of these, spent minimal money and it was pretty much the people (attendees) that made the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comawhite Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) I too restrained myself before Enterprises were bought. I think my GF would have enough trouble dealing with my current collection if ever I brought it out of storage. 'twas great meeting all the forumers, dealers and crew. And a big thumbs up to Jason for introducing himself and having a wee chat with us for a bit. I'll be stealing pics taken with us I quite enjoyed the day - especially as it's my first time ordering a McDonalds in uniform and phasering normal people outside - though that and two nights of barely sleeping did leave me too shattered to head to the party unfortunatly.

Moderators DavidB Posted August 30, 2009 Moderators Share Posted August 30, 2009 Good to see everyone had an enjoyable time And I'm glad some of you had the chance to chat with Jason. I know he likes to try and meet people at events if he can. He's often a busy man but he will make time for a quick chat, and it always seems to help to talk in person.

touchthesky Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Yeah, Jason was lovely. He came up and told me I could hold the Tomb Raider props which was lovely. Had a great day, spent hardly anything..but it was still amazing. Thanks everyone <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Scapegoat Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Thanks for the mad props for my props I'd never actually seen my stuff set up on display before - My house ain't big enough! So this was a first for me. I was wellllll chuffed at how good it looked - A huge thanks to the staff from New Look for kindly lending us the mannequins ( And to all the other shops who asked their head offices, only to be told "No chance." Y'tried! ) Even bigger thanks to Jason and Showmasters for inviting us along as usual - And for the genius idea of setting us up on the foyer instead of on a table inside. Didn't expect that, and I reckon the Cosplay masquerade was as busy as it was a direct result of the double-whammy of us and them hitting punters the second they're in the door. Congratulations to all the Cosplay winners - You lot are what events like this are all about. And thanks to my fellow judges for allowing me to step down from the marking for the Junior category to allow Morgan to enter - And win! I was mortified when she walked off stage and went "HI DADDY!". But I was so proud that she nailed Newt's line - And accent! - as well as she did. She'd always just said "Mostly at night mostly" in the past when prompted. But she stepped up to the plate ( ) and scored a perfect "They mostly come at night... mostly" and put a massive grin on my face Cheers to my fellow UKCM grunts - I hope you guys enjoyed this Drop as much as I did. And warm fuzzy feelings to the Garrison for being such excellent friendly rivals in the dressing-up-in-tupperware stakes. A pleasure working with you guys as always, and much respect for the sweatbox inhabitants among you. Bath time... I'm falling apart. More, + pics, later!

BeatrixKiddo88 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hey all, its Rob (Usual 10th Doctor and Marty Mcfly, as no one seems to know that this is indeed me) Just wanted to say I had an AMAZING weekend and want to thank a lot of people for making it possible: Rev Scapegoat and the Marine crew. You guys are AWESOME! Always enjoyed seeing you around cons, but to finally meet you all and hang out was great. You lot put so much fun and love into your costumes and the way you carry yourselves that it made spending time with you and getting to know you a joy. THANK YOU! All the cosplayers that entered our competitions, especially Robin (keeping your identity secret, but you know who you are lol), Joker and Harley Quinn (thank you for making me the highest picthed man in the con) and Doc Brown! But everyone that entered did great cosplays and deserved some sort of prize (if only we had the money!) The UKG, especially Cocomando. You guys, as always, brought some awesome costumes and patrolled like demons. I know the public always appreciate the trooping and I do too, as the huge star wars nut that I am. The entire crew (which I, after all these years, was finally a part of). THANK YOU! Once again, you made my weekend enjoyable, managable, stress-free and fun. You guys all rock to the very core of the earth! And finally Jason, thank you for yet another amazing event that I was proud to call myself a part of!

Thanks to all the workers, and guests, and to everyone who came and dressed up and everything. (I was the alternative universe female tenth Doctor) and congratulations to all those who won at the cosplay! Looking forward to next year!

Reverend Scapegoat Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 MCFLYYY! *Noogie* Jason told me after Saturday that the day was such a big success that he's going to up the stakes for next year.] Also, after the "interesting" way the party ended up going this year, he's also decided to pass the responsibility for the entire thing on to me for next year... So watch this space for the next one! And if anyone has any suggestions, drop me a line - I'll no doubt start a thread later on about it to keep this thread free of party-related stuff. That aside, t'was also great to finally meet and chat to Joyce, the lads from Filmcell, as well as the regular chat-ees... all the dealers who have repeatedly violated my wallet over the past years! :) Scapey big shout out to you and the UKCM guys , an awsome bunch of guys and gals with awsome big boys toys. What a collection of props dude , and you're DJ ing was right up my street . Hugs till next time guys. Good seeing you as always mate! *Secret handshake* And thanks - Good to have requests from folk with similar tastes to me... Even if it's not hard!

gebes Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I'm glad that so many people had a great time, and now know just what SM are capable of prob better than before the event. I was only there today, but there certainly appeared to be a lot of attendees in the hall , which can only be good for future events. From what I saw and heard the Cosplay had a good steady turnout both days. All in all, a great atmosphere and vibe all round both at the event and here in the Glasgow section !! Roll on a bigger and better CMG5 I say !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
