BoBe-Patt Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 just added: Tom Bateman from Harmony Gold is interested in being a guest speaker at MacrossWorld Con.... He has some interesting stuff to share that a lot of us might want to see and hear... hopefully we will draw a bigger crowd with Bateman and possibly Tommy Yune showing off some of their new stuff..... still working on possibly getting Egan Loo to come.... =] egan loo always comes through. He also always brings his rare and one of a kind macross pieces like macross kiddy shorts? Anyway, for those of you who have Nintendo DS's, you should bring it so we can all play mario kart or some other multiplayer game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrhino Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 If we have reps from HG in attendance, will it cause issues for some of our garage kit makers if we bring certain LARGE chunks of resin in the form of finished kits for display? I appreciate the works being created, want to see more created and don't want to see anyone get some silly C&D order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I doubt you'll get a C & D order from those guys. If anything, they are still fans of the originals. I know both of them quite well. The only thing you really have to worry about is the lawyers there, and I think they are busy with other big stuff. As for Mari signing stuff, why not make it more lucrative for her and charge $3 per autograph, or if you buy her CD, the signing is free? Just an idea so she doesn't feel like anyone is really taking advantage of the moment with her. And i'd limit it to 3 items per turn. At least this gives people time to get things signed, and she makes some money. Both a win win situation for everyone. Oh, and BTW, I will donate a set of the series #1 1/100 Valkyries to the con. Hope you can use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will just have a limit of 2 items and if you want more things signed... then get back in line!! haha... how much stuff could people want signed by Mari anyways?? And thanks for the donation for 1/100's! They will be used as prizes for all the contests we'll be having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikaru Ichijou Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Has anyone considered asking Mari Iijima to judge the Macross karaoke contest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiriK Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Has anyone considered asking Mari Iijima to judge the Macross karaoke contest? She has already been asked and she said she'd get back to me on that... haha... my guess is she's not sure she wants to here a bunch of fanboys attempt to sing songs dear to her heart... or maybe not... We'll take signups for the contests when the event gets closer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Well, I can understand hearing a bunch of fans trying to sing some of these songs and butchering them to death. I may make an attempt if the right song is provided, and it will scare people most likely... OK, maybe not. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonc Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hey Jason... has Bee talked to you about having a back up band for Mari? That would be cool, he said that you play the guitar. LOL, I think it got brought up very briefly, nothing official. But I'm sure she has her own band. If she asked, I'd have to practice with her. As for playing any of the Macross songs, I could play a few, but it also would depend on what key she plays them in. for a backup band, I have my band, and we do covers of all sorts of stuff, but no anime songs, as my Japanese is, well... non-existent. But it makes for fun party music, especially if you wanted to hear a guy sing Vacation, by the Go-Gos. Anyways, I'm gonna get started on my kits and customs again, so hopefully I'll have something new to bring that isn't so ancient like my VF-1D. The Elintseeker will be done by then. That's for sure. Who else is bringing new customs??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiriK Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Are PSP games ok? or do you just want toys this time? PSP games as prizes? i'm not sure that would work since not everyone has a PSP... But somebody might be interested in it... PM EXO and he'll tell you if it's good or not since he's been collecting prizes for the Con for years....

EXO Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I think what we've done is bundle up the games according to console so that the good game can be mixed with the ummm... not so good. We even asked ahead of time what type of console they have so we can give the prizes too people that can play them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azrhino Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) In an attempt to not clutter up the signup thread, are "customs" classified as toys only, or are completed model kits part of that classification?

KiriK Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) I'll post rules for the customs contest soon, but to answer your question, we will be having different categories to compete in and Model Kits will be one of them. =] Check out the MWcon 2007 Event Sign Up Thread!!!

do not disturb Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 i just had an idea for contest. instead of having a contest of whos the fastest at transforming a 1/48(which i think you guys have done in the past) how about you have that same contest but do it blind folded. i'm not sure what the prize should be?, i'm guessing something good considering the people who enter will be potentially sacrificing a 1/48. anyhow just a thought to keep things fresh and fun.

Well, i think i'm having a hard time finding attendees that are interested in doing a regular Transforming contest... I included a 1/55 TF contest for those that might be afraid of transforming their 1/48's... but i don't think anyone has expressed interest in competing... I'm definitely going to do it... or at least i want to if i'm not a judge.... or running the event.... If enough people enter the regular contest and someone wants to do a blindfold challenge, it's possible we could add that element.... but we need contestants first..... Also.... there's only about 1 month left for the regular $10 registration cutoff.... after June 1st, MWcon registration will be raised to $15.... so register now!! This means locals too... haha.... just because i know some of you doesn't mean you can slack off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiriK Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Just a reminder that there's just 2 weeks left as of tommorrow to register for MacrossWorld con for $10!!! After Friday, June 1st... registration fees WILL jump to $15 For all those planning on attending... please send me a registration email so i can process all the attendees.... this includes memebers that i've contacted to sell things as well....EVERYONE needs to register and pay so that we can cover the cost of the con... the most important thing is to make enough so that we can cover the cost of Mari's attendance and food.... So everyone register soon!!!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solscud007 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I just want to bring to people's attention that the elusive Macross DYRL TV special will be subbed and available for MWCon07. Free to attendees. This TV special was made known at MWCon 05 when Seiichi gave a copy to Shawn. I got a copy since then this has been a project that has been put on hold for the past 3 years. Due to no one knowing how to synch up subtitles and Shawn being really really hard to get a hold of. well Im happy to say I got the subs and working on it right now as I type this. To sum up the version for MWCon07 will be edited down to be the pure tc show. a full version with all the japanese commericals will be for sale on MW after the con. Proceeds go straight to supporting this website and help alleviate the costs of hosting MW off of Shawn's pocketbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
