Anyone going to the Sydeny Supanova this year???

[Tommy K]

ME! lol

[gantz]

Woooo! lol

should be great, Ill try to spend less than a $1000 this year :(

[5FDP]

Definitely :D

From memory, I think it was Supanova '03 that I met Goki and Dirge and I have been every year since (even though there hasn't been an Ozformers stall since then).

I'm certain Goki has photos from that year...

[liegeprime]

Ill see if I can get the request days off :D. Ive only been to one - when Mike Turner was the guest ... then he died, ah well.

[valkyrie_76]

I might be going to the Perth one. Last year I was not impressed compared to the year before. At least there were more sellers then with a nice array of items to spend upon.

But yeah Ill go again, Im a sucker for some female cosplay, isn't that right 1orion :D

[GoktimusPrime]

Should this thread be in the meetups section?

You keep meeting me at conventions and fairs, and yet I have _no_ idea what you look like!! It's like being passively stalked. :p :)

Supanova is not just in Sydney.

Anyone from Brisbane, Perth or Melbourne going to their local ones?

[klystron]

Yeah, I'll probably go this year. I think I went last year... or maybe the year before. Well whatever year it was that Jewel Staite (:p) was a guest.
I have to make sure I take no money with me though. Too much good stuff to buy *drools*

[swoop]

I'll be going to melbourne, I got some good bargains last year hopefully I will again this year

[Blink90210]

I'll be going to the Melboure one, gonna hit up Mr. Perez for a sketch and scope out any bargains as well. I'm sure there'll be a meet-up...?

Nah... I've just got a better memory than you... or so it seems ;)

[JustOwen]

Supanova..

there is quite a lot of TFs this year. Mostly animated and ROTF

one of the shops had 2nd hand transformers for sale..

They have Jetfire, Dirge, 5 of the Constructicons, micromasters etc. Most of them are G1 but the conditions aren't very good...

For DC or Marvel comic fans...

Marv Wolfman and George Perez are here in Brisbane this year

Some of their famous works include Crisis on Infinite Earths, The New Teen Titans...

If you want them to sign any of your comics...go tomorrow :D George is an amazing artist...and he is very friendly too

[griffin]

As Justowen has mentioned above, the Brisbane Supanova is on this weekend, and he actually managed to find some TFs toys (which is usually rare, since it is an Anime convention).

[GoktimusPrime]

Is Marv Wolfman just appearing in Brissie?

[liegeprime]

George Perez!!! wow!!, I hope he comes to the Sydney one as well, Id get my WW TPBs all signed! its his creative writing and art that got me hook on the comic as well as my interest in Greek mythos

[JustOwen]

Some photos

[5FDP]

It's weird how they have the Brissy Supanova 2 months before the Sydney one. I guess it's a big effort to set everything up.

Hopefully there will be a stall selling second-hand Transformers this year. Previous years have been fairly light-on (in Sydney anyway) with only some Encores, Henkei, and movie stuff sighted.

[gantz]

Cosplay indeed :D

So sad I miss Spike at the melbs Supanova, but shall counter that with meeting Lou Ferrigno! thats gonna be awesome!!!!!!

:eek:That reminds me I said I was getting all costumed up this year:D and sucker isn't the right word, I needed a Kayak to stay afloat from all the drool:p:D

[liegeprime]

Thanks for posting the pics JustOwen, he looks older than he appeared on TV:D. But then that was 4 years ago....I sure hope my leave gets approved. yeah I filed for a leave instead coz Im not trusting they would grant me my "requested" roster shift... they tend to ruin my plans by giving me a night shift the day before my requested day off:mad::mad: which kinda defeats the purpose of my day off coz I end up snoozing the day out.

5FDP the only one Ive been (sydney) back then had very little in TF wise - Casefresh was the only stall back then that was selling discounted TFs - and they're inactive now....the other ones selling the Takara booktype TFs were priced quite exorbitantly...

[gamblor916]

I was excited looking at the guest list until I saw cancelled next to Boris Vellejo and Julie Bell :(
I'll still look to get my Rogue Trooper stuff signed by Colin Wilson.

It was disappointing when Case Fresh pulled out of Supanova. Even their website seems to have fewer Transformers these days.

I haven't bought from them in about 4 years.

Anyone get to the Melbourne show this weekend? I forgot it was this weekend. I might have been interested to go to see Ianto from Torchwood.

Anyone get to the Melbourne show this weekend? I forgot it was this weekend. I might have been interested to go to see Ianto from Torchwood.

I was there for the two days, plus the Friday evening for the Perez-Wolfman Supa-pass. Transformers-wise, I didn't really see much at all. A few Encore cassette sets and SkyLynx (didn't check price but sure to be over-inflated), $280 for a MP Megatron, some of the DST busts...was on the look out for Animated Arcee but no dice. Nice to meet Perez and Wolfman (who I got to thank for bringing back Optimus Prime!), here's the two sketches I was able to score over the weekend.

So all in all, a better-than-I-expected con, if you were there just for Transformers, you probably would have been disappointed.

[swoop]

I was only there for saturday but I saw more transformers than blink did. Apart from what was already mentioned I saw the following

Encores: bruticus, hoist, trailbreaker, metroplex, ironhide, ratchet, megatron, starscream and sunstorm.

Henkei: skywarp, dinobot and minibot teams.

Reissues: star convoy, laser rod optimus prime and its ultra magnus repaint.

Masterpiece: convoy with trailer, megatron and grimlock.

Busts: Cliffjumper, elita one, frenzy/ratbat, dirge, ramjet, thrust, megatron, jetfire, ultra magnus and bumblebee.

Plus they had other merchandise like wallets, keyrings, necklaces, bobble heads etc

It wasn't bad I got some good bargains like cliffjumper bust for $20 and henkei skywarp for $50.

[lcz128]

I was there and I saw digger!!
Was only there on Sunday though. Was great fun!!

[liegeprime]

I sure hope the Sydney one is just as good.

and then i turned up to this year's one in a full prowl costume. Who was the OTCA person i met? You talked to me either sat or sun.

[GoktimusPrime]

Yeah that was me, and it would've been Saturday. :)
