Official MacrossWorld Convention 2010 Information Thread

Looking at the website, it looks like a petition to get a sequel or another OVA to Macross 7.

[UN Spacy]

2 weeks to go!!!

I guess not many Bay Area folks are heading out to this?

[lost password guy]

Not sure but is there going to be any registration confirmations sent out?

I also volunteered my services to help clean up on the first day.

I'll bring my custom TV Queadlun Rau to display:

[EXO]

BTW Do I have to register? What is the benefit of registering again?

Registering helps us plan the event out better. If we get a good idea of how many to expect then we can make sure that we have enough space for both people and displays.

Also, if you register and sign in then you are automatically entered into certain raffles.

[UN Spacy]

I believe I only registered for Saturday.

But now I'm going both days. Do I need to reg again?

[EXO]

You just need to register once but sign in both days, you'll be eligible for the raffles that day.

[KiriK]

Hey everyone!

Sorry I've been incognito the past few weeks but as the final two weeks come down, we have a lot of planning to finish! Later, I will be posting a special raffle to all mw members for a special launch ceremony poster signed by tenpin himself. In addition, I will be posting special exclusive items from mari for auction or raffle.

I want to thank Save and otaku2.com as well as Tokyo-hunter.com for their amazing contributions to the con this year! They are really helping make this con special. I will sending info emails to all registrants later this week.

Hopefully, big kid will post a complete schedule of all the weekends events so people can see when to come. See u in 2 weeks!

[vf1x]

i just registered for sunday. as an old timer, it will be very interesting to see what heights MW-con has gone. can't wait.

[spiderman]

I can't wait. In all the years I have been a member and a fan, this will be my first Macross Conn.

[Char350]

Quick question regarding registration. I registered several weeks ago, but should I get a confirmation email of some sort? Thanks.

Can't wait till the day of the con!

[EXO]

I'm going to send out a manual confirmation so everyone that has registered will know if they are or not.

[Kicker773]

Got mine.. Debating if I should bring any customs..other than the one NB4M requested.

[UN Spacy]

I know these are not really customs...

...but should I bring my AX 2010 autographed Megahouse Sheryl and Ranka?

I can't wait to see what all of you are bringing.

[nanoplasm]

I have a question.

Is the shirt $20 as stated in the registeration form, or $26.25 as stated in the email?

Edited October 1, 2010 by nanoplasm

[EXO]

The shirts are $25 because everyone wanted black shirts which were more expensive to print on. Looks like someone forgot to update the registration form. My apologies but I did state that that needed to be fixed. 26.25 includes paypal fees.

[KiriK]

Apologies for the tshirt mix up since i didn't update the registration page. but $25 for this awesome tshirt is still definitely worth it! We've never attempted a mwcon tshirt with such a unique design and so many colors!

Check out this year's Opportunity drawing for a chance to win an autographed Tenjin Hidetaka poster!

You wont be turned away, this is a bigger venue and MWCon is a small convention put together by fans. There won't be anything for sale per UCLA rules.

[Kicker773]

Question about the customs. I know we will be displaying them both Saturday and Sunday. We are not leaving them there over night are we? Reason I ask is because there might be a chance I won't stay there the whole time for one of those days. So what do we do?

[Sicdedman]

Thank you for the Information! i have one last question.

for the Mari Iijima Performance are (camera's & Recording) ok?

i have been to Alot of Japanese/Korean Concerts/Performances and every show (Varies) on whether or not the Artists/Management wants to have Video or Pictures taken of them.

[Guest sh002]

could i bring something for mari iijima to sign and will there be a charge? you should probably post the schedule on the first page along with a map within ucla. thanks.

Edited October 3, 2010 by sh002

[KiriK]

Check out the map i made for the location of the con at UCLA this year!

[KiriK]

THIS JUST IN! As you know, the Macross Frontier movie comes out in Japan on DVD and Blu-ray on October 7th and we will be receiving a Blu-ray copy to screen the Macross Frontier Movie on Sunday, October 10th at 11:30am!

IF there's a reason you can't come to the con this weekend, you better find a way there!

Also, if you would still like to pre-order one of Mari's CD's "Echo" or "Uncompromising Innocence" email as well so I can send you information on payment! Preorders will close by Friday at 9pm PST.

$15 - Mari Iijima Desktop Calendar

$10 - Mari's Lorna Doone Soundtrack

$20 - Mari's CD "Echo"

$20 - Mari's CD "Uncompromising Innocence"

If you would like to order any of the above items, email me at MacrossWorldConvention@gmail.com with your name and items you would like to purchase and i will send you information on payment via PAYPAL only.

If you purchase any items, you will have VIP access to the autograph session and will be 1st in line to have your items signed.

[EXO]

We are full steam ahead! We've got give aways, contests, rare toy and models colections and customs displays...and our registrants have passed the triple digits. Hopefully 2 days is enough!

[Murphy]

Im leaving from SF on friday morning (if not too hung over) and leaving on monday early (also not if too hung over) if anyone needs a ride in the SF area we can split gas.

[Kicker773]

So can anyone answer my question regarding custom displays?

[Sicdedman]

are we allowed to take Pictures/Video of Mari Iijima Performance? i just dont want to bring my cam and be turned away saying no pictures/video allowed and have to return it to my car... (it has happend before to me)

[KiriK]

Question about the customs. I know we will be displaying them both Saturday and Sunday. We are not leaving them there over night are we? Reason I ask is because there might be a chance I won't stay there the whole time for one of those days. So what do we do?

We will have security volunteers during the convention watching the displays during the hours of the con. From Saturday to sunday, we will be moving some of the displays into an adjacent room to be locked over night. Just to be safe, if you plan on attending both days, i would suggest taking your customs back with you on Saturday and bringing it back on Sunday.

are we allowed to take Pictures/Video of Mari Iijima Performance? i just dont want to bring my cam and be turned away saying no pictures/video allowed and have to return it to my car... (it has happend before to me)

Good question. You are allowed to take Photographs ONLY during the performance with no flash! No videography by attendees will be allowed. We will have only 1 official videography crew recording the event and will release it to the public if approved by Mari.

Thanks

Hello All!

Looking forward to spinning some great Anime vinyl records throughout the day this year for Macross Con 10! I picked up a lot of great records this year including many Mari Iijima and Kumi Miyasato solo records ( sadly another package from Japan with a lot of great records will not arrive in time for this weekend).

Also if anybody wants to sell me an unbuilt boxed Arii 1/100 Spartan model kit out of your trunk in the parking lot for a reasonable price ($10-$20) please bring it!

I've never seen Mari Live so I'm looking forward to the concert and give her my respect!
