I look forward to watching the transforming contest clips when you post them up. DECULTURE!!!! Quote
big F Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 The guy at the checkpoint looked at me funny as my bag went through the scan, then he asked, "What are these? Airplanes? LOL sounds like one time when I was flying out of Tokyo, the xray guy passed my bag through 3 or 4 times, I could see the layers of my Hasegawa and wave kits on the screen intermingled with my clothes etc. I was thinking Oh here we go its gonna be sorry you cant take these kits. He then just looked at me and then shouted "Macross!! Deculture!!" and let me take my bag. I spoke to him when it got quiet and it turns out hes a big Macross fan and wanted to know what kits I had Have fun Guys sorry I cant be there. Quote

I spoke to him when it got quiet and it turns out hes a big Macross fan and wanted to know what kits I had Have fun Guys sorry I cant be there. Reminds me too when I had jury duty. I discovered one of my fellow jurors was a fan so I brought a Super VF to show off. I was ready to get embarrassed at the x-ray machine but I got a quick pass. Quote

Elternteil Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 This is Dennis, that dude who was runner up in the art contest, and I would like to thank you all for this year's Macross World Convention. Good job on the staff - laid back, know how to have fun, while still organized and gets the job done. And thank you very much for the opportunity to meet with fellow fans as well as Mari Iijima and Tommy Yune. See y'all next year. Quote
Murphy Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Had a great time even though I knew nobody, it was cool watching the 1st frontier movie, awsome seeing Mari perform and signing autographs. I wanted to bid on the frontier/blu ray-hybrid but I really only wanted it for the trail game ,$80 when I left, I hope I can get it cheaper later from eBay..who won the transforming contest? I had to leave by then, had alot of fun! Edited October 11, 2010 by Murphy Quote

SpacePirateNeko Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Had a great time, sorry for being shy again. I go every year and barely say a word, i dont think anyone even remembers me from previous years but Shawn and Egan because im always so quiet. Someone post the group photo from today. Quote
Jasonc Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Wow, what an experience. Thanks all for putting this together, for the customs, the displays, the donations, the contests, this was a hell of a lot of fun. Mari was wonderful. I enjoy watching her perform. Clean up wasn't as bad as I thought, although being tired and kinda in a fog, I had such a hard time transforming my VF-27 Grace back to fighter. Quote
SpacePirateNeko Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 The cake was nice but we had nothing to cut it with ...fortunately someone had a sword with them...yes, a sword Quote

KiriK Posted October 11, 2010 Author Posted October 11, 2010 What a crazy 2 days worth of MW Con eh?? Did everyone have a good time? I sure hope so as i'm EXHAUSTED and i'm 'glad the 10th anniversary of the con was such a success. I have so many people to thank for contributing to an amazing event, but i'll save it for when i can do a full recap. We didnt' have an official photographer for this year's con so i'd like to ask anyone who came to the convention and took photos or videos of anything to please share with everyone! Post away and lets us know how you liked the con! Quote
ron5864 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Day 2: More random photos.... Mari and her alter ego on stage. Tommy Yune taking a photo of Minmei(Mari). The line for Minmei's autograph goes to upstairs section. Tommy explaining the Photoshop editing techniques he uses for Robotech Con Posters. Meanwhile, Tim(from UCLA Japan Animation Club), as Nekki Bsara, wins over girls. And then Tim wins Cosplay Contest with Michael Blanc as (late entry)second place. Tim needs a girl in a white dress and hat to throw a bouquet of flowers at him! Sorry I had to bailout early due to family event. But who won the Costume Contest this year? Quote
