EXO Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Same here... I was waiting for the green light, but the boss says we're already booked that weekend. maybe MW 2014 Oh that sucks! We'll have small gatherings around the con. Maybe you can make it to one of those, specially if you volunteer to help out before? Quote
VF-25S Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Hi guys nice to meet you all! ヽ(‘ ∇‘ )ノ Fairly new Macross fan myself and young one at that. I'll be flying down from the bay area can't wait for this and the chance to meet you all! Quote
coronadlux Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 CRAPPPP!!!!! I was just let go from my job last night! I am so going to this even if I am gonna have to spend every last unemployment penny on this! BTW, are there gonna be signing sessions like last year with Mari? Quote
coronadlux Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Done! I couldn't wait for my wife to let me know if she was going, so it's me and my 13 year old nephew. I just couldn't hold out much longer. Tenjin is my hero! Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 That's awesome news...thanks to the staff for nabbing Tenjin and Mari (again). Quote
Kicker773 Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Might have to go to this one . If I do go I'm not sure what items I can bring to get signed. Suggestions? Quote
skullmilitia Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 We should all be flying to Kickers house to see the US version of the Macross museum. Quote
EXO Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 All I can say is if you plan on getting his autograph, bring two Tenjin related items or Macross items that's not specific to another artist. Like getting your Imai Regult with Takani art would probably be too weird. No bootlegs, safe bet would be to look for that big west sticker if it's Macross. You guys know what I'm talking about... Seriously though? Tenjin! I think we need to extend the con a few hours! Quote
Vepariga Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 D-Deculture! the guest list is amazing. Lucky sods, I wish I could attend but its a whole country away. Maybe 2014-15 lol Quote
miriya Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 I think i will be attending this year. If I make it down there. I do intend to win the 1/55 transforming contest and will bring a couple to use for the contest. Ill probably bring some macross items to sell too. Do I need a booth for that or just bring stuff? Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) MW'ers coming from the Bay...are y'all flying or driving down? I'm actually thinking about spending Saturday night there now. I don't wanna rush the last flight outta town. Edited August 30, 2013 by UN Spacy Quote
miriya Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 @UN Spacy. If I go I will probably drive my 1997 honda civic (crossing fingers the whole time). Quote
coronadlux Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 How about just renting a van and carpooling down with other Bay area guys, split the cost all around and it'll be immense savings. Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Well I already have my airline tix and rental car. I'd be willing to drive a few of ya from LAX to Torrance. Quote

In order to sell anything at the con this year, you will have to purchase a vendor booth at $50 per table. With the increased cost for venue and higher attendee expectancy, we had to charge for vendors this year. you should have have some good foot traffic for your table. email macrossworldconvention@gmail.com for more info or questions.

miriya Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Thanks KiriK! I will email with more questions. Thinking about getting the 30th anniversary VF-1J just so that I can have Tenjin and Mari sign it. That would be a cool collectors item. Quote
EXO Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 It's a 6ft table with 2 chairs, so you can split the table with a friend if you don't have enough items to sell by yourself. Quote
KiriK Posted August 31, 2013 Author Posted August 31, 2013 We're having another T-shirt fundraiser to help with some of the additional cost of having Tenjin attend and other exciting things!

Tochiro Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Congrats on the ANN shout out guys! http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-09-01/macrossworld-con-hosts-singer-mari-iijima-artist-hidetaka-tenjin Quote
HeavenCanceller Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Hello to everyone here on MacrossWorld. I grew up with the original series as a kid back home in Asia and have been to several anime cons but never even knew there was a Macross-only convention! Even my fellow long-time otaku here in Arizona didn't know until we saw it on ANN Now I'm all excited and plan on going as long as my schedule allows. Great to see an active community of fellow Macross fans out there Also, I wanted to ask if the tables for selling stuff is just for selling or trading official Macross items or is fanart allowed? I used to do Artist Alley and did a couple of Macross Frontier pieces before I stopped. If fanart is okay, would anyone here be interested in buying some prints? My two Frontier pieces are below. I know I'm not the greatest artist so I'm trying to gauge interest before commiting to paying for a table. And apologies if the huge image size is a bother - I couldn't get it to post smaller Macross is my first love in anime so I really put a lot of effort into my Macross pieces but hardly anyone ever bought them in AA - just other shows that are more well-known here in the US - so if anyone likes them it'd be great to finally find some people who would like them for the series they're based on. Quote
KiriK Posted September 3, 2013 Author Posted September 3, 2013 thanks for your interest in attending! i just responded to your questions via PM. thanks Quote
UN Spacy Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 I just saw the shot glasses prototypes on Instagram. They look good...chibi Minmay, Sheryl, and Ranka. Quote
EXO Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 They look great! Which one should we make? Quote
HeavenCanceller Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 They look great! Which one should we make? shotglasses.jpg I want them all lol! Okay, I really want the Sheryl one Quote
UN Spacy Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 They all look greatZ BTW. Is there a Macross drinking game? If not...then take a shot everytime Ranka says Alto-KUN. Quote
