bigkid24 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Maybe we can try doing the Cannon Fodder picture like I suggested last year. Quote

Jasonc Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I should be able to help out this year, pending it's not on weekend I'll be out. Quote
miriya Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I care. i want to go and I want to do another 1/55 transformation contest and the custom contest and the drawing contest. Excited! Where's Arcadia? Isnt that a spaceship from Harlock or something? Quote
Benson13 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I care too. I'm gonna talk Kirik into letting me be the official convention bouncer. I see velvet ropes in our future. Quote
Roy Focker Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 This is why it sucks not to live in the LA area. Quote
ron5864 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Cool Kirik for scoring a location. I will bring in the two dioramas from the last two Cons. I hope my work schedule will allow me to attend. Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Congrats to Tony!!! I bet those are all his or some of his toys from his collection!! Awesome! If I only lived nearby I would love to take Rohby's class! Man do you guys bring forth a convincing cause for me to beg the wife to let me go this year.... Quote
UN Spacy Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Great news Bee! Hmmmm...kinda far from LAX (compared to UCLA). Maybe I'll just carpool with Bay Area MW'ers. Quote
grapetang Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Awesome! I had a great time at the last one & would love to make this one if possible. I enjoyed the customs, on-the-spot drawing, & fanart contests. Great news, indeed! Go, Bee, go!!! Those Concept Cube classes look neat too, though I'd have to sell a few Yamato's... Quote
505thAirborne Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 This is why it sucks not to live in the LA area. Tell me about it, I'm here in KS. Frak it, Southwest Airlines to the rescue. Quote
jenius Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 If the date coincides with a visit to my in-laws it'd make a great excuse for ducking out for a while. Quote
xTIMMYxCOREx Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I am so down for this. Arcadia is not far from me. Quote
Benson13 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Will anyone be making anything special for this event? Something similar to SDCC exclusives but for MW Con. Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Will anyone be making anything special for this event? Something similar to SDCC exclusives but for MW Con. Exo can do t shirts and then he can sign them or your chest. Whatever tickles your fanny LOL jk Quote
Benson13 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Exo can do t shirts and then he can sign them or your chest. Whatever tickles your fanny LOL jk Do I have to win the big raffle to be awarded that honor? Quote
xstoys Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 YES there will!!! Will anyone be making anything special for this event? Something similar to SDCC exclusives but for MW Con. Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 No. Since your a drummer you have to dress up as veffidas. There is a basara already. Or you can be Ray or Mylene. Quote
Benson13 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 No. Since your a drummer you have to dress up as veffidas. There is a basara already. Or you can be Ray or Mylene. Note to self, change avatar to something manly so Kicker doesn't pick on me because I don't want to have to cry in a dark bathroom in the Concept Cube building. Quote
Benson13 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 YES there will!!! What did you have in mind XS? Quote
Kicker773 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Jk I figured the drummer role would be you. Lol. Is the raffle a chest piece for the helmets? Quote
SuperHobo Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Arcadia? Wow this might be my first MW Con. I live in Rosemead, so this won't be too far of a drive and the location looks awesome!! Quote
Jasonc Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 So, will people be able to sell anything? If we have any raffles, or anything like that, I may have something to donate this year. Also hoping I can have at least the legs of the 1/60 VA-3 done by then. Quote
Benson13 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 What was the turn out for the last one? Quote
bigkid24 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Great news Bee! Hmmmm...kinda far from LAX (compared to UCLA). Maybe I'll just carpool with Bay Area MW'ers. Fly into Burbank instead of LAX. Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Sweet! Ummm, who's Tony? He's the big husky Asian man that appears to be the owner of this school.I'm quite impress with this location to host MW 2012! I hope its not around SDCC 2012 in July tho. But I'm defintely down and hope to see more vendors as well as custom toys as well as MW members collection. Quote
DarkHawk Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Has there been a date yet considered? ..... I am in the bay area and it would be a hell of a commute. I want to go, however, i need to make plans to go. Quote
Jasonc Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Will there be a band playing??? I know a band that has a decent set of Macross songs in their catalogue (hint hint) Quote
Benson13 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Will there be a band playing??? I know a band that has a decent set of Macross songs in their catalogue (hint hint) Does said band need a drummer? Quote
Jasonc Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Does said band need a drummer? They've had "special guests" drummers and players before, so they might be able to have one come up, that is, if they end up playing. Quote
Benson13 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 "Special" would definitely be the appropriate adjective. Quote
Jasonc Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Hope you're not referring to short bus special. I doubt you are, but shoot me a pm. Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Has there been a date yet considered? ..... I am in the bay area and it would be a hell of a commute. I want to go, however, i need to make plans to go. Nor Cal has a MW club up there too. Why not gather up and split the gas bill and come down with the homies!? Quote
