Eternal_D Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 yah you bastards, you guys post that pic up enough...I really should be voted best looking guy this year lol Quote
yellowlightman Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Any idea how late this thing is gonna run? Just found out the Izabuchi panel is on Sunday at 1pm, so I'll probably have to head back to AX a bit early. Quote
motogenius46 Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 So what time doe sthe MWcon officially start and what is the address? I'd like to stop by and check it out. Thanks! Quote
duckie81 Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) I'll try to make this meet. How long is the meet anyway? will people also be going to ax? I'll be flying down from the bay area, so what would be the most ideal airport to land at? Edited June 30, 2006 by duckie81 Quote

dr_vandermeer Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 So how was the con? Everyone have a good time? Bummed that I missed it, but excited to hear about it. Quote
phatslappy Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 It was uneventful. There was supposed to be a "Rip on Shawn" session, but that never really materialized. And the con eventually turned into a poker game anyways. Only two people did customs. And some people showed up who we didn't know cuz they didn't provide their names/handles or really talk to anyone. But all in all, it was fun. And XSToys wouldn't let me put on the helmet, but other than that... it was ok. Quote
EXO Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 I gotta couple of people asking me to sell my JM2. The only blue one ever made... I was thinking my huge SDF-1 Canvas poster was gonna attract more attention, but everyone wanted the JM... lol. I stuck the canvas out the window so people wont m istake where the con was. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 And XSToys wouldn't let me put on the helmet, but other than that... it was ok. 413426[/snapback] I think that priveledge should have gone to Eternal D. With a mug like that he really should be wearing somthing to cover that face. Quote
KiriK Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 it was my 1st con and i guess i'd have to say it was kinda cool meeting new faces from the boards.... I got to see things i've never seen before in person and learned there's a lot more Macross merchandise that i didn't know about... XStoys' display area was pretty awesome to look at and awe over.... much more appreciation for his collection after i found out how rare some of that stuff is.... Major Tom was selling a lot of good stuff for great prices.... i jump started my CM's collection by getting a case of Series 2 and Series 3 figures and also the Miria 639 set... haha... but the best part was trying to pick which box to buy so that i could get the Max Chase.... i couldn't decide so i had Snip312, Peter, pick out a box for me since he seemed to have such good luck getting 2nd in the poker tourny the nite before... i agreed that if he picked the box w/ the chase, i'd give him a free CM's figure.... BOOYAH!!!! MAX CHASE BABY!!!! haha..... i was gonna cry if i didn't get one.... but Peter helped me out and got his CM's Roy for free.... that was the most exciting part of the Con for me.... haha... i sucked at poker during the tourny and at the con.... i just can't seem to win when we play on weekends..... much props to Solsclud, Nick, for organizing the Con and getting everyone together.... props to Phatslappy, Rob, for hosting the con at his house.... haha.. you need to paint some of the walls in your house...but it was nice and roomy..... Also mad props to >Exo<, Alex, for organizing the MW Poker tourney.... it was a successful event that brought almost the same amount of people to play poker than the actual Con... haha.... also.... a special thanks to my girl Caroline who went out and got a new dress to Cosplay as Minmei.... she looked pretty awesome once she did up her hair in a bun and pigtails.... =] looking forward to more poker tourneys and more cons!!! Quote
EXO Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 also.... a special thanks to my girl Caroline who went out and got a new dress to Cosplay as Minmei.... she looked pretty awesome once she did up her hair in a bun and pigtails.... =] looking forward to more poker tourneys and more cons!!! 413484[/snapback] I told kiririth that he was the true winner of the poker tourney because he got to go home with the 1/1 scale Minmay and live out everyone else's fantasy... and by that I dont mean he got to fly a real live valk home.

valkyrie312 Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Just got back to Houston after my first trip to the LA area and I had to say that I had a great time at AX and at the MWCon. It was really fun to finally put a face with all the names I've known for a few years here. Special thanks to BobePatt, EXO and Solscud for hooking me up with a place to stay (thanks, Alex) and taking me all around SoCal for all this stuff. Quote
motogenius46 Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Hey guys, it was definitley cool to meet all you guys and to see some hardcore Macross fans out there. Quote
LL Cool VF1J Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 I gotta couple of people asking me to sell my JM2. The only blue one ever made... I was thinking my huge SDF-1 Canvas poster was gonna attract more attention, but everyone wanted the JM... lol. I stuck the canvas out the window so people wont m istake where the con was. 413434[/snapback] hey, I totally noticed that poster. I didn't realize it was canvas though. I was going to ask if it was for sale, but there was no way that was going to fit in my car. There was also so much stuff to look at. I know for you MWcon regulars, this was all stuff you seen before, but for me it was macross overload. Seeing the customs first hand and not through pictures gives you much more appreciation for them. There was a lot more people that came than I was expecting. I would have been more social but I didn't sleep at all the night before and I was a little on the tired side. I had a good time and it was great to finally meet most of you that I only knew by MW handles. Ill definatly be back next year. This time with my own customs and if there will be another poker tourney, Ill try and make that also. Be prepared! Quote
hirohawa Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 I thought the poster was very cool. Anyone going to post pics of teh con? Quote
LL Cool VF1J Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 I don't have pics of the peoples, but I do have some pics of your customs hirohawa. Quote
Hurin Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Sweet merciful crap! That Roy VF-1S custom is breath-taking! I've never seen that "texture" of weathering before. But it looks positively real! Quote
LL Cool VF1J Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) some more misc. pics Edited July 5, 2006 by LL Cool VF1J Quote
Save Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Well I hope I can make it next year, looks like lots of fun. Well I guess I've got a whole year to practice my poker face. Tis the season!Well I will not be able to make it to MWcon or AX (for the first time since the very first one, and animecon prior to that) I would like to send a care package of goodies for prizes for my fellow Macossians who will be there. I have a few things right now I would like to send but this weekend I'm going to pick up a few more small things. Can somebody in charge of MWcon PM with where to ship the items. 407246[/snapback] Quote
EXO Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 where are all the pics? I know AgentGHQ took a ton of them. Dam me for forgetting my camera. Quote
Godzilla Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Man I like the Minmay doll in the sailor outfit. Maybe next year I will be there. Quote
mechatek Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 What a bummer. First con I miss since MWcon3. Sorry about not showing up with the Sapporos. Well, there's always next year. C'mon fellers more pics, with some actual attendees. Quote
MjrMisaHayase Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Still no pics? 417452[/snapback] We're still waiting. Quote
kensei Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Is SDCC over? The people might be busy there, just hypothesising.... But yeah it's been awhile. I expected heaps. Quote
UN Spacy Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Were cameras not allowed into the con? LOL. Quote
bigkid24 Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Geez, didn't realize there weren't any pics yet. Quote
