My own BotCon Panel write-ups

[griffin]

As with previous years, it takes a while for me to process the hundreds of photos I took and set out the structure for the entire report... but now that the hard part is mostly done, it is starting to be uploaded a page at a time.
This is the easy part now that most of the photos are already on my server.
I record as much as I can of each panel, so people following the global fansites might even find info or pics that were not posted anywhere else.

The main page/index is here:
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bc11/bc11intro.html

So far done is
- IDW comics
- Hasbro toys
- Activision DotM game
- Collector Club
- Collector Club Magazine
- Hasbro Future Projects

Next up should be the TF:Prime panel, the Hasbro toy display, the Art display, and then the remaining TFs related pages. After that will be my non-TFs pages that document my entire trip (most of which was posted up in the creative section of this board).
I will post here when more pages are completed and uploaded.

Nice way to spend the long weekend Griff!

I can spend the next few recesses and lunches inside reading them while the kids play inside.

I go back to work tomorrow... so I have to get as much done by then or else it'll be slow progress after that.


The TF:Prime panel write-up is now uploaded.

Great stuff Griffin! Thanks for writing this up

Griffin's writeups always make for interesting reading, and there is usually
New info that either didn't get fully reported or that I have missed in the glut of different announcements. Not QUITE the same as being there but the next best thing

Just read the IDW report
---aargh, they killed Optimus, you bastards!

Just did up the Collector Club Magazine panel... which I had mistakenly included as one done yesterday.
I think there will be one interesting bit of info in there for fans of Gen1 Season 5...


I also added a rant on the intro page (in the 'Bad' section) about the HoF/Erector issue... hopefully that's the last people will hear about that from me.

A very interesting read as usual griffin. Thanks!

Lovely reports as always. Reading your write-ups is the next best thing to being there (until I can go there one day). Would love to taste the Baconator. Looking forward to the rest of the write-ups. Thanks griffin.

Air Raid (new mould - not the same toy as the JP Movie toy) a green reconassaince plane, with the big circular radar thingy on top becoming a shield and weapon.

do they plan to bring the japanese mold over at all? (under a different name)

[griffin]

Didn't sound like it. They didn't reveal much this year, so anything is possible between now and the end of the year.
