Jefuemon just posted that he got banned screen in error but then it happened to him again. Here's his last post...
Never met him but he seems like a really cool dude that knew his stuff. He left contact info on that post too but I hope he comes back.
Thanks for the clarification Cowie, I guess I didn't scroll down far enough to see "price in USD", my bad. I asked him about shipping to my address and it's pretty reasonable, its a little cheaper than what I get charged from HLJ.
I just looked up their Facebook page, they posted $350 (I'm assuming that's AUD) not including shipping. That would be around $265 USD just for the kit. I might be in for one.
Pengbuzz- Arbit is right, don't listen to the haters. Be proud of that project and keep showing it off.
Funny thing about the internet - people will say anything hiding behind their computer screen.
There are some pretty big names going to this thing, I wish I could make it. I'd like to meet the voice of Rick Hunter, Tony Oliver. I know, he's from Robotech but that's what started it all for me.
I had a great a time but I do agree with you... I think the sign in process should have been smoother especially if you pre-registered for the event. Walk-ups got in in like 30 seconds as opposed to the 15-20 minutes for those who pre-registered. I only saw one person checking peoples names in the computer and putting the convention bags together, I think that slow things down a lot. Maybe some volunteers didn't show up or the QR reader was down but all in all I thought it was a great convention and very well put together. I'm definitely looking forward to next year.
