New Fan Expo Links

:: Posted by Bryan @ 9/07/2006 05:07:00 AM
Probably the last on this subject for awhile, unless someone emails me something amazing.

-Filip Vukcevic does a con report at IGN.Comics. He argues that, given the population of Canada, the show is equivalent to San Diego. Also includes lots of nerd-speak about the cavernous nature of the convention hall ("You know the Geonosis droid factory in Attack of the Clones?") and the escalator system, as well as an attempted interview with a Hobbystar official (Aman Gupta?):
"I tried asking the head Fan Expo organizer a few questions, really, just things about the new space and the attendance - I wanted to help him pimp the con - but he briskly declined (while he was basically standing around, not doing much of anything). It seems that unlike Marvel's Civil War, this conflict may have a "bad guy" and a "good guy" - the question remains: who is who?"

-A nicely edited YouTube video by Peter Sankey.

The latest rumour we're hearing is that HobbyStar wants retailers to sign exclusive contracts saying they will only do one Toronto show in order to display at the Fan Expo.
