Kicker773 Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 even though i can't attend is there anyway to get some of those T-Shirts -=) Quote
UN Spacy Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 Good luck with the convention! Those t-shirts are beautiful. Quote
wolfx Posted December 25, 2007 Author Posted December 25, 2007 For now they are "con-exclusives" but depending if the "organisers" wanna handle preorders and shipping, we'll open it for preorders later. Quote
Zinjo Posted December 25, 2007 Posted December 25, 2007 For now they are "con-exclusives" but depending if the "organisers" wanna handle preorders and shipping, we'll open it for preorders later. You offer sizes other than L and you'll probably get many pre-orders! Like me... Quote

Found a map Looks like it is close to IDP Australia Office to me. Guys correct me if I am wrong. Linky here for bigger map Quote
hakim82 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 The Macross 25th Anniversary Convention also publicized in Hannah Tan's BLOG http://www.hannahtan.com/news.asp?page=New...amp;articleid=6 Well just a small section in her BLOG really. Quote
wolfx Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 Hi Hakim and Sahir! Wow you guys coming down from opposite sides of Malaysia. Glad to have you join us. Hakim: Correct, it is just opposite of IDP Australia. If you know where is IDP, then you're already 99% to Taylor's. Sahir: If you take KTM to Subang Jaya, I think best if you take a taxi from there and tell the driver to get to Taylor's College main building. You probably pay about RM5 or less only. And btw my news article went up in a local newspaper, The Star. Dang this event is getting bigger than I have anticipated. http://thestar.com.my/lifestyle/story.asp?...c=lifebookshelf Quote

hakim82 Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 The big event's tomorrow. Wish us luck. Arrgh I missed the part with Hannah Tan... . Picture was taken by a friend from another forum who came to the event early --- Thanks Arya aka Omega_Prime ref http://www.transmy.com/index.php?option=co...d=113877#113877 The event was well organized. I arrived late afternoon. Seller booth, VFX game competition & DYRL Mov + Macross F preview was on schedule. Well the Movie was not really ontime but it is forgivable. Any way picture will be up soon. I can't figure out who in the end WolfX & Shahir is. Guys show ur self in the picture later. Quote
wolfx Posted January 27, 2008 Author Posted January 27, 2008 Wow....the day is done. Finally. hakim82: i was running around making sure the PS2 competition was in full gear and behind the curtains making sure the macross movies played properly. Photos of the event to show up shortly, taken by our official photographers. I was too busy to take photos. Quote
hakim82 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 So my journey begins from Peneng to KL I arrive late, missed the registration for the game + Meeting Hannah Tan too. Start walking around the stall area - That Prime is NEW I stall sells all Macross A friend open up a stall (BoyArk) Very potential buyer just met a very good seller (Chupa & Daughter Vs BoyArk) Why there is no picture of me?

sahir Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) wolfx my guess is you're the guy wearing specs and black cap.. hehe..just thought to bring along my fav 1D..and i think other than the main display, our little 'display' (in front of boyarque's stall) was the only other display in the whole convention..hahahha..so might as well join the smaller one.. Edited January 29, 2008 by sahir Quote
