Lasting for four months, the Venetian casino in Macau will have a Transformers show (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/conventions-15/transformers-30th-anniversary-expo-in-macau-180157/), from June 1st to October 1st.

It has a fairly decent layout of several rooms of displays, games, cartoons, and merchandise for sale.

So, if you were planning to check out the Japanese Expo in August, maybe consider stopping off at the Macau show on the way home. (or if you are visiting Hong Kong in the next four months, take a day trip across to Macau)

If only I hadn't just gone to Hong Kong and Japan 6 months ago, I'd be so going to both of them. :(

Some photos from the exhibit (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/conventions-15/macao-transformers-expo-photos-180170/)... it looks like a nice set up by the Casino, but something that visitors would walk through within a couple hours.
In other words, it wouldn't be worth travelling too far to check it out, but would be worth stopping off there while travelling somewhere else in that part of the world.

Is that a giant Bumblebee made of balloons??? That's not going to last 4 months.

There's an Ironhide statue there, but instead of sculpting it based on its Movie appearance, they used a little-know gimmick toy from TF3 (has weapons pop out and doesn't convert). :rolleyes:

And is that human gestalt, combiner team in the second photo? :p

Most of the themed "display" rooms are very empty, with only one or two things in a large darkened room.
