Death of Optimus Prime A.

[Dezzeh]

Apart from the awsum variety of figures posted in the other thread, I avoided artwork and comics this year.

Which I am now regretting, wish I had gotten Nick's print and some of the Autocracy prints.. and the new dinobot issue of regeneration 1..

I love artwork, but I never have anywhere to display it so it ends up stashed in a heap under my bed or in a box.

[glaug]

Just toys for me. As partially documented in the new acquisitions thread!

[Dezzeh]

What with moving house and already having a full 5 walls worth of artwork, I thought it ultimately pointless to get more this time. Next year it is!

[Nigel]

I had a fairly modest haul this year at AA.
Generations Warpath
Generations Sky Shadow
Device Label Trypticon
Rodimus Prime bust (the small Diamond Select head replica)
Nick Roche Lost Light print
Kris Carter Swerve's Bar print
a few little Japanese PVC figures
some Beast Wars Neo cels
Generation 2 Megatron wristwatch

Plus, I had these signed:
RTS Legends Prowl (Michael Bell)
Animated DVD (Townsend Coleman)
Ladybird Transformers The Movie book (Paul Eiding)
Autocracy (Livio Ramondeli)

A year overdue, the Unicron pencil sketch Mr Wildman drew for me has now been inked by Mr Baskerville.

[The Huff]

I picked up:
DOTM Que- actually a very nice toy!
Universe Galvatron - not a very nice toy but will do until a proper Galvatron comes along.
Trailbreaker & Prowl Legends
An EggMcMuffin 'bot
A Fruit Machine 'bot
Gobot Bugbite
Cyberverse PowerglideNicks print plus some comics.

And a Scraplet!!!

Spent most of my money on alcohol this year - but then so did the other guy who bought half pint - and he went home with ten Fortress Maximus toys mint in box!

Yes, the bar was expensive. See what I did there?

[KoshNaranek]

I picked up the following (deep breath)

Omegatron (boxed & complete)
Encore Trailbreaker
DOTM Leader Ironhide
DOTM Leader Bumblebee
Targetmaster Scourge
Targetmaster Cyclonus
Targetmaster Blurr
DOTM Q
Generations Wheelie
PCC Dinobots
PCC Constructicons
PCC Huffer
Kre-O Optimus Prime
KO Ravage USB Flash Drive
Duros & Cannon for Hardhead
Dark Leo Breaker (body for parts)
Regeneration One script and comic pack (from Simon Furman)
MTMTE Lost Light crew print (from Nick Roche)
Kabaya Deathsauras
Revoltech Megatron

...and of course....

G2 Optimus Prime pencil case and Megatron Gumball machine that I won as 5th and 2nd prizes in the Toy-Fu Tat Roulette!

It was a good weekend for me.

My AA toy haul:

Phil, please don't move my posts around, if I wanted to post here I would have done it myself.

[The Doctor]

This year's haul was modest compared to previous ones, but space is currently an issue. So:

-Artwork page from Jeff Anderson from the UK story ENEMY ACTION.
-Artwork opening splash page inks from Baskerville for REGENERATION ONE #80.5
-REGENERATION ONE #80.5 comic/script pack from The Furman.
-CHAOS THEORY script from James Roberts.
-G2 Blaze Sparkler Minibot.
-KREO blind pack Microchange Sunstorm minifig.
-KREO blind pack Microchange Spinister minifig.
-Wee Kabaya Hot Spot and four other ones I haven't checked yet (present from Marc Graham).

Though the best acquisition remains the £10 fish finger sandwich from the hotel bar.

-Ralph

[Andy Turnbull]

Chaos Theory Script Book from James
MTME Print from Nick
Regeneration One 80.5 Script pack and Issue 80 plot from the Furman
TFUK 39, 40, 200, 250 from Nigel
Kabaya Kit, Pinball bot, Ratchet burger king toy, Three battle beasts and lots of Raffle tickets from Toy-Fu.

Gifts:
I was handed a signed photo of Michael Bell dedicated to me late on Sunday. Which was really nice.

Like Ralph space is a huge concern, as well as a few others so not a lot acquired.

Andy

[Benn]

I hauled (in this order)

The Death Of Optimus Prime Incentive
Chibi Bumblebee postcard and Sticker
Snarl sketch
Reissue Red Alert
Masterpiece Grimlock
A vast multitude of signiatures
Plenty o beer
New friends and a lot of fun memories

I lost

Postion as favoured pirrie

A fair return I feel, although I shall come back stronger next year!

[Andy Turnbull]

I expect a strong challenge, but if I make it to Brum for the Zinefest and you are there well...you might just make Ed's reign a brief one.

Andy

[legios]

I did not end up acquirring as much as I have done in previous years, but still more than I expected:-

CHAOS THEORY script from James Roberts (and darned fine reading it is too)

Transformers Prime HotShot (Not fussed by Bumblebee, but then they put him in GF Excillion colours and give him Giant Robot sungoggles.... yep, needed that)

Generations Warpath (Been wanting one since I saw Phil's Warpath a while ago, just such a good future-tank toy as well as a great humanoid mode)

Generations Drift (the power of having good characterisation replacing the previous version of Drift. However, I have discovered that the toy's backup swords are Chinese Broadsword/Giant Butcher Knife hybrids, making him look even more of a stereotypical asian-o-phile than I already thought. I think he is my "comedy Transformer" acquisition of the weekend).

Transformers Prime Dead End (he has a fantastic 90's colour colour scheme which actually really suits the toy. It just jumped out of the packaging and I think it will look quite good next to Botcon Breakdown).

Reissue Ratchet (I've been meaning to pick one of these up since they first came out, and keep forgetting every year at AA. Feel quite ashamed it has taken me this long to get a toy of such a pivotal character).

Generations Springer (like the Tomahawk mold anyway, and it makes such a lovely Springer).

Gi Joe: Retaliation Snake Eyes (He is a Ninja Commando, wearing a giant pair of purple jet/hanglidery wings which have a rope slide play feature built in.....)

Gi Joe: Retaliation Storm Shadow (I bought Snake Eyes. Can't have one without the other..... I'm going to have to buy Jinx and some of the random cannon fodder Ninja's next year now aren't I..... )

Ask and it shall be given unto you.

As per MattD's request the Moving Posts comments have indeed been moved here.

[The Huff]

You all know I was just joking right?

[Jaymz]

How confusing...

My haul, mostly artwork:

[The Doctor]

I can't see any mention of the £10 fish finger sandwich on the Hilton menu online. Was it a delusion?

-Ralph

[glaug]

Was it not on the convention menu?

[The Doctor]

Nay, it was the Hotel's regular one. It was a beast of a meal. Legends will be sung of it.

-Ralph

[Philip Ayres]

we have photographic evidence don't forget.
