This vid exemplified why I go to less and less cons and spend less each time. Looking at some of these prices, especially the Iron Factory figs, those mark ups are some b.s. Better prices to be had online typically. I get paying a premium if you're late to the game on certain figs but that's just straight fleecing for some of these.
Hi Rocky. Thanks for commenting. Some of the prices were definitely way too high but keep in mind that this is TFCon Canada so the prices are approximately 30 percent higher than what you would see at the same show in the United States due to the current exchange rate. I appreciate you checking out the video.
@@TransformersAndVideoGames oh I'm sure and it is not an idictment of you by any means but looking at the mark ups it makes me laugh. I think members of the fandom are unrealistic about pricing, as are vendors. There are sellers in the buy,sell,trade section of TFW2005 asking more for used fig then you would pay for them at most online stores. Same case here where vendors are marking up to an extreme. Like I said I understand paying a premium if you missed a release but buying up stock just to scalp consumer's in the end leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I feel a lot of these vendors do that.
@@Atharun18999 Looking at the video i only see 2 main vendors selling IF. If you do the conversion rate from Canadian to USD you'll see that everything is at retail pricing.
Wow.. certainly a varied mix of prices there for sure?!? It's interesting to see that the third party Quintessons and Sharkticons from a good few years ago really hold their value. Great video M. Can't wait to see more. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Rudy. Yeah, unless a newer 3rd party offering comes out that’s considerably better, I find that most of the 3rd party stuff seems to hold their value, including the Quintessons and the Sharkticons, as you mentioned. The only time 3rd party transformers seem to take a hit is when they are on preorder and Takara or Hasbro announce an official MP figure is under development. Thanks for watching. Cheers M
That’s really interesting. Those TFcon videos got a surprising amount of traction last year. There was some really cool stuff in the dealer room this time around. Lots of those legends figures that everyone is going about. I must say that they look super cool in person. I almost pulled the trigger on a few of them for myself. I hope you enjoy the video. Cheers M
Just wanted to say that I appreciated the 'smoothness' of your video. Sometimes these walk through videos can be really jarring and hard to watch. Nice job!
Hi Brian. Thanks for the awesome compliment. I really appreciate that you took the time to say that. I always like to take my time when I record walk through videos like this. They can be difficult to watch if there is blur because the person recording it is moving to quickly. Cheers M
I guess this is the next best thing since Botcon in no more. Looked like there was more 3rd party than official Transformers. Looks really cool and fun.
Yes, there’s even an annual TFCon in the United States now. Hmmm, interesting comment about 3rd party vs official Transformers. I’m not sure if there was really more 3rd party. It just might be the mix of footage that I showed in part 1 of my dealer room walk through. I was working on part 2 just now and it seems to be a pretty good mix. Thanks for commenting. Cheers M
It was really great meeting you too. Thanks again for all the helpful info about Legends figures. It’s funny, when I had that Action Toys Bike Robo in my hands, I just couldn’t put it back on the shelf. Have a good evening. Cheers M
Thanks for sharing this, M. I hope you were able to enjoy the day there along with all of the filming on our behalf. Loved seeing those M.A.S.K. figures and I LOVED those T-Shirts 🤘😁🤘
Thanks Kato. When I finally put my camera away, I managed to score a few cool figures for myself. It’s funny how much I noticed when I watched back my video that I missed while I was recording it. Either way, I had a great time. I asked about the MASK figures. At the low end they were $200 each, which is sadly more than I wanted to spend to have a few cool toys from that line in my collection. I nearly bought one of those t-shirts. Cheers M
@@TransformersAndVideoGames yeah....every time I find a decent MASK figure they are too costly for me. I'm really hoping for a reboot or some modern throwbacks for them.
I know what you mean. You sent me down an expensive rabbit hole. If I found something and bought something MASK related at the show, I was going to credit (blame) you for my new interest in the toy line during the review...LOL
Nice walk through M. Yeah legends scale figures are what’s in right now. Many collectors have sold their MP scale for legends. For me I like the smaller size of newage and have had about 10 Of their figures in my eBay cart to buy, but just haven’t pulled the trigger. Newage has been pumping them out and it may be another rabbit hole for me. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks Lotus. It makes sense that things would do a bit of a 180 at this point. The trend of oversized figures and combiners was getting to be too much. I don’t know where anyone would have the shelf real estate for a display like that. With Legends figures, you can buy one or two large, Titan class figures like Fortress Maximus and Trypticon and set everything up nicely and in a better scale. There was actually a display like that at the show but like I said in my other comment, with my flash malfunctioning it was impossible for me to get any footage of it. Anything in a ceramic or glass case was off limits to my at that point for the purposes of show footage. Cheers M
Transformers and Video Games Yep it’s always been about shelf real estate. I think legends scale MP figures is very nice and allows for a nice compact display. Newage also showed they are doing a mini teletran1 and a Throne for Megatron so they are really doing a great job to not only have figures but also diorama to go with them
I managed to get my Zeta Toys Kronos from TFcon this weekend. Pretty happy with my hauls. Too bad I skipped an FT Hydra, Reprolabels were selling their MP for $110 but I was there for Kronos and I didn't want to stray away from my goal. A person told me I should have bought it because Hydra doesn't have a resale value and buying him new is a waste of money.
That was an excellent pickup. That’s their version of Superion, right? Well done sticking to your goal of getting him. I wouldn’t worry too much about what people are telling you and about resale value. I tend to buy just about everything new, except for G1 Transformers...of course. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers M
No kidding. That’s awesome that you were there too and spotted something that you picked up. Yeah, time does fly. Sadly, we’ll probably have to wait until 2022 for the next TFCon. Thanks for checking out the video and for commenting.
Transformers and Video Games I reached out to MadHaus. For the price they were selling, it would’ve been amazing! They cost nearly $300 if you run across one on eBay these days.
Wow, that’s crazy. I didn’t realize it was so expensive these days. It would be nice if Fans Toys started reissuing some of their more popular figures. I’m sure there’s a market for it.
Hey bro. There is a TFCon that comes to the United States but it wouldn’t be worthwhile if you have to travel halfway across the country to go to it. Are there any local toy cons that you can possibly attend? Thanks for your kind words about the video. Cheers M
I did and yes I think about my collection from time to time. I still have a ton of pictures of my old collection. If I had a way to show you I would. I look at them every so often.
Have you ever thought of doing a video with all your pictures and uploading it to TH-cam. There are all sorts of editors out there even on a mobile phone where you can zoom into images so that it plays like an actual video and not just a series of static pictures. It might even be a cool way to bring a few extra eyes to your channel. My only advice if you do would be to do a voice over so that you can talk about your old collection a little bit. People love that sort of thing.
I’ve never tried to edit a video. I’m not very computer literate but could probably figure it out. That’s not a bad idea. I’ll see if I can try that soon. I’d love to be able to share my old collection with others. It still bothers me to this day that I had to sell it all off.
NICE!!!!!!!!!! My favorite toys I saw, which I will NEVER own were Masterpiece Star Saber and the 3rd Party version of Impactor. :D Thank you for sharing this video, and for being amazing Transformers and Video Games, Double Thumb's Up. ;D
Thanks TFfangeek. I saw that MP Star Saber. I have nearly picked one up a few times. I’m not sure why I haven’t yet. I must have missed the 3rd Party Impactor despite you seeing it in my walk through. I actually miss a lot touring the dealer tables while looking through my camera view. Thanks for watching. Cheers M
@@TransformersAndVideoGames You are welcome. :D In this video you walked past the 3rd Party Impactor at 10:49, the name of the toy is Mastermind Creations Spartan. :D
I can't believe it! I was just there today! 6 hours ago! Since that's how much time it took for me to drive there, but it was quite worth it, lots of stuff to check out! I picked up among other things the Titan class Trypticon for 140$! So happy about that one! But you really need to have deep pockets to get the best Transformers, especially those Third Party ones, they look extremely awesome, especially their versions of the Dinobots, have you seen their Swoop? It's amazing, and the dragon Megatron from Beast Wars, totally mind-blowing! But I'm sure those will be in part 2 of your video, sorry I didn't see there, M!
Hey Defender Prime. Oh, it would have been so cool to finally meet you. I met a few other people who recognized me this year. Yeah, there was so much cool stuff and so many opportunities to spend money. You got an incredible deal on your Trypticon. I hope I captured some of those figures that you mentioned in part 2 of my video. This is going to sound strange but when I’m taking the footage, I’m not really taking in what I’m seeing, for the most part. Even in part 1, I saw so many cool things on the shelves that I didn’t really notice until I put the video together. Cheers M
What up, Brother M?! TF Con Toronto never ceases to amaze! I won't be satisfied until I've gotten the chance to attend my first show. Whether it's here in the States or in Toronto. I'm sure you'll have a really cool haul vid to share with us soon. Lol!!! Until next time, cheers & take care!
Hey Bigg Stan. TFCon was a lot of fun. I did manage to come away with a few cool figures this year. It would be really cool if you made it to a TFCon in either in Toronto or in the United States. I know you would have a blast. I am uploading part 2 of my dealer room walk through tomorrow, if you’re interested. Thanks for watching and commenting, my friend. Cheers M
@@TransformersAndVideoGames i picked up my first masterpiece at a really good price (it was road rage) and a third party wheelie gobot repaint, and a couple of beyblade stuff from my toku dealer who also sells transformers stuff from japan
Nice. I spoke to a number of guys that traveled from pretty far to go to the show. I guess we’re pretty lucky to have something so close (and awesome) to attend every year.
LOL...I know exactly what you mean. Many of the things I wanted were gone but the time I was done recording. Probably a blessing in disguise. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers M
Actually, I did come away with a few deals this time. I also managed to have a little self control this year. I only bought 3 things. Thanks for watching, Steven.
Man I wish I was there! So much TF goodness 👍 Hope they have leftovers on the con exclusive repaint of the 3rd party Arcee. Looks sweet👍.Thanks for sharing. Hi saw some MASK, did you get any? Hope you get some cool finds👍
Thanks for checking out the video, Larkin. Yeah, there was lots of really cool stuff. I asked about the boxed MASK figures but they were starting at $200 CAD. I think they’re awesome but just don’t want them enough to pay that kind of money for them. I didn’t see any loose ones. I think there are usually extra convention exclusives kicking around. One guy had a bunch of TFCon Canada exclusives on his table from several years ago (2012). Unless it’s something really special, there is usually plenty to go around. Cheers M
Awesome video M! Man i wish i could walk through there. I am starting to think the Transformers i have are not from the u.s. And they're around a foot tall, their boxes must have been pretty big by the looks of that video. That was fun to watch, thanks.
Oh yeah. You’d love a show like this. On the Saturday it’s almost all Transformers and then on the Sunday it’s an 80’s convention with some transformers and just about everything else you can remember that was cool from back in the day. I’m glad you enjoyed the virtual tour of the dealer room.
So many cool items! I'd be stuck what to buy. Just curious, the prices on most the items seem a little high especially the magic square items. I'm from the UK so it was shocking to see how much more the items were on sale for. Many thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us.
Thanks for checking out the video and for your kind words. I enjoy sharing this footage with all of my fellow Transformers fans on TH-cam. This is TFCon Canada so the prices are around 30% higher than what people see on most of the American on-line retailer sites. I’m forgetting what the exchange rate is for you guys in the UK.
Oh man! I was drooling the hole time 🤤 and I’m really out of the loop, I know its convention prices but I saw some items that I’ve seen way higher on other places 🤔 I would’ve love to see prices for those loose G1’s doe 🤔 Either way, it was a great video M, I was ogling everything 😂👍🏽✌🏽
I know what you mean. There were a few times when I felt like just saying, “Take my wallet”. These prices are in CAD so they will seem higher than you’re used to seeing. Many of the G1 figures didn’t have prices in them which is super annoying. I hate to have to keep asking the vendor how much. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers M
It sure is. I’ve recorded dealer room footage for the past 2 TFCons here in Canada. It’s amazing how much stuff I miss when I’m recording that I see later when I’m watching the video back. Do you have anything like this in your area?
@@TransformersAndVideoGames We have TFNation in Birmingham, England every August. I've always wanted to go but never have. Now I've set the channel up and am jumping into the community I'm definitely going to go next year - it's been cancelled this year (obviously). I'd probably explode being in a room with so much TF goodness.
You’d love it. You could even take some footage and share it on your channel. My TFCon videos have done quite well. I put my 2018 TFCon videos up when my channel was brand new. I had a few hundred followers at the time. Those videos got lots of traction and earned me a lot more subscribers. Just something to think about..but you do sacrifice part of the experience as a buyer and a fan when you start taking video footage. You also miss out on a lot of cool figures that may not be there when you finish recording.
@@TransformersAndVideoGames I was totally up for doing that until you said that it could result on missing out on aspects of the experience. I'd certainly do a little vlog style video of my day out.. I could at least do that.
I suppose another option would be to get there when it opens, walk the dealer room floor, buy whatever you’re interested in buying right away, then spend the rest of the afternoon recording the dealer room, doing vlogs, etc. The only trade off is that as it gets more crowded, it can get a bit more difficult to get good footage.
Awesome vid bro, really enjoyed watching, you do such a good job filming, so easy to watch. Those cell shaded stickers for the MP windscreens look amazing, might have to get some. Hope you had a fantastic time. Looking forward to part 2 buddy :)
Thanks for your kind words and your support, brother. I was thinking the same thing about those MP Autobot Reprolabels. They’re very cool looking. I had a great time at the show. Part 2 should be up tomorrow if all goes according to plan. I hope you enjoy it. Cheers M
Well done too many TH-camrs just pan with the camera (oh here's this, here's that done). But because they go too fast I the viewer can't see a damm thing. Thanks for taking the time to go slow.
Thanks for the compliment. I know exactly what you mean. The image can also blur if you pan too quickly with the camera. That’s why I take my time when I record this type of video. Cheers
Hey Audie. Thanks for checking it out. It’s a pretty incredible toy convention for anyone who’s into Transformers. Your jaw would drop if you were there in person. So much awesome TF related stuff packing into one room. Cheers M
Hi Paul. That’s right. This is TFCon Toronto so you’re absolutely right about the higher prices due to the exchange rate. There were some deals though and the vendors were generally open to negotiation. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice vid. Thanks for posting! I'm curious though. Those prices on the legends figs like Magic Square, in the beginning of the vid are roughly $5-10 more than if you were to buy them on-line! Is it like that with most prices at these Cons?? If so I will just stay home, buy in bulk for free shipping and just save $$
Thanks for the compliment. I really appreciate it. These prices are actually in CAD so they will appear higher than the USD equivalent that most people are used to seeing online. Having said that, I would encourage every Transformers fan to attend at least one of these conventions in their lifetime. It’s just really cool to see so much awesome stuff all in one room together and it’s great to meet and talk to so many likeminded fans. Thanks for commenting. Cheers M
Hey Mick. It’s great to hear from you, brother. I’m doing well. How have you been? I think you were the one that told me about Iron Factory Legends figures about a year and a half ago. See how popular they are now? Cheers M
@@TransformersAndVideoGames im good been busy w/work, life etc. Yeah the IF train is steaming along and it seems its getting stronger n stronger especially their output in releases. Id say they are the company of the year in terms of 3rd party imo. I highly recommend them if u are interested.
I actually bought their Shockwave at your recommendation a while back. It’s a very cool figure. I almost feel like you discovered those cool Legends before anyone else I know was talking about them. It was great advice on your part. I really like the figure but don’t think I want to head down the Legends rabbit whole too much. They add up when you are buying a bunch of them at the same time. Cheers M
LOL...there are always scratch and dent discount opportunities. I bought a cool Optimus Prime in a less than perfect box but I got a great deal on it. Any interest in attending a show like this or is it too transformers focussed?
My pleasure. I’m really glad people are enjoying the videos so thanks for saying that. People are often quick to downvote virtual tours like this for one reason or another but they don’t often consider the effort that they take to put together. Have a great day. Cheers M
Hi Craig. That’s a really good and very accurate way of putting it. Have you ever been? I have a shorter part 2 of my dealer room walk through uploaded if you’re interested in seeing some of the other things that were there this year. Cheers M

Thanks for commenting. I’m glad you enjoyed TFCon. Did you end up picking up anything interesting?
@@TransformersAndVideoGames i picked up my first masterpiece at a really good price (it was road rage) and a third party wheelie gobot repaint, and a couple of beyblade stuff from my toku dealer who also sells transformers stuff from japan
Awesome. Road Rage is a really cool figure. I really appreciate the vehicle mode.
thank you. Wanted to go this year but it just wasn't in the cards.
My pleasure. Yeah, real life always needs to come first. Are you local or would you be travelling from a distance to go to the show?
@@TransformersAndVideoGames Local-ish, same province
Nice. I spoke to a number of guys that traveled from pretty far to go to the show. I guess we’re pretty lucky to have something so close (and awesome) to attend every year.
Oh man my wallet sighed in relief cause many things I would buy I saw.
LOL...I know exactly what you mean. Many of the things I wanted were gone but the time I was done recording. Probably a blessing in disguise. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers M
Definitely overwhelming. I hope you got some good deals!
Actually, I did come away with a few deals this time. I also managed to have a little self control this year. I only bought 3 things. Thanks for watching, Steven.
Man I wish I was there! So much TF goodness 👍 Hope they have leftovers on the con exclusive repaint of the 3rd party Arcee. Looks sweet👍.Thanks for sharing. Hi saw some MASK, did you get any? Hope you get some cool finds👍
Thanks for checking out the video, Larkin. Yeah, there was lots of really cool stuff. I asked about the boxed MASK figures but they were starting at $200 CAD. I think they’re awesome but just don’t want them enough to pay that kind of money for them. I didn’t see any loose ones. I think there are usually extra convention exclusives kicking around. One guy had a bunch of TFCon Canada exclusives on his table from several years ago (2012). Unless it’s something really special, there is usually plenty to go around. Cheers M
Awesome video M! Man i wish i could walk through there. I am starting to think the Transformers i have are not from the u.s. And they're around a foot tall, their boxes must have been pretty big by the looks of that video. That was fun to watch, thanks.
Oh yeah. You’d love a show like this. On the Saturday it’s almost all Transformers and then on the Sunday it’s an 80’s convention with some transformers and just about everything else you can remember that was cool from back in the day. I’m glad you enjoyed the virtual tour of the dealer room.
So many cool items! I'd be stuck what to buy. Just curious, the prices on most the items seem a little high especially the magic square items. I'm from the UK so it was shocking to see how much more the items were on sale for. Many thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us.
Thanks for checking out the video and for your kind words. I enjoy sharing this footage with all of my fellow Transformers fans on TH-cam. This is TFCon Canada so the prices are around 30% higher than what people see on most of the American on-line retailer sites. I’m forgetting what the exchange rate is for you guys in the UK.
I love transformers and your videos
Okay, sorry, but I see X-Transbots' Neptune in box and I'm suddenly frothing at the mouth that my preorder will ship soon.
That looks like a really cool figure. I’m sure you’re going to love it. Do you mind if I ask where you pre-ordered it from?
@@TransformersAndVideoGames Unfortunately from TFSource as I wasn't thinking at the time. Normally I go via ShowZ.
I’ve only had good experiences using them but I suppose the other store would probably cost you a little less in shipping.
Oh man! I was drooling the hole time 🤤 and I’m really out of the loop, I know its convention prices but I saw some items that I’ve seen way higher on other places 🤔 I would’ve love to see prices for those loose G1’s doe 🤔
Either way, it was a great video M, I was ogling everything 😂👍🏽✌🏽
I know what you mean. There were a few times when I felt like just saying, “Take my wallet”. These prices are in CAD so they will seem higher than you’re used to seeing. Many of the G1 figures didn’t have prices in them which is super annoying. I hate to have to keep asking the vendor how much. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers M
What a feast for the eyes.
It sure is. I’ve recorded dealer room footage for the past 2 TFCons here in Canada. It’s amazing how much stuff I miss when I’m recording that I see later when I’m watching the video back. Do you have anything like this in your area?
@@TransformersAndVideoGames We have TFNation in Birmingham, England every August. I've always wanted to go but never have. Now I've set the channel up and am jumping into the community I'm definitely going to go next year - it's been cancelled this year (obviously). I'd probably explode being in a room with so much TF goodness.
You’d love it. You could even take some footage and share it on your channel. My TFCon videos have done quite well. I put my 2018 TFCon videos up when my channel was brand new. I had a few hundred followers at the time. Those videos got lots of traction and earned me a lot more subscribers. Just something to think about..but you do sacrifice part of the experience as a buyer and a fan when you start taking video footage. You also miss out on a lot of cool figures that may not be there when you finish recording.
@@TransformersAndVideoGames I was totally up for doing that until you said that it could result on missing out on aspects of the experience. I'd certainly do a little vlog style video of my day out.. I could at least do that.
I suppose another option would be to get there when it opens, walk the dealer room floor, buy whatever you’re interested in buying right away, then spend the rest of the afternoon recording the dealer room, doing vlogs, etc. The only trade off is that as it gets more crowded, it can get a bit more difficult to get good footage.
Awesome vid bro, really enjoyed watching, you do such a good job filming, so easy to watch. Those cell shaded stickers for the MP windscreens look amazing, might have to get some. Hope you had a fantastic time. Looking forward to part 2 buddy :)
Thanks for your kind words and your support, brother. I was thinking the same thing about those MP Autobot Reprolabels. They’re very cool looking. I had a great time at the show. Part 2 should be up tomorrow if all goes according to plan. I hope you enjoy it. Cheers M
Amazing time my man! Great finds there!
Hey Nathan. For sure. It’s so easy to spend a lot of money there. Thanks for checking out the video. Cheers M
Well done too many TH-camrs just pan with the camera (oh here's this, here's that done). But because they go too fast I the viewer can't see a damm thing. Thanks for taking the time to go slow.
Thanks for the compliment. I know exactly what you mean. The image can also blur if you pan too quickly with the camera. That’s why I take my time when I record this type of video. Cheers
NICE ! i would definately break the bank there,
Oh yeah. It would be very easy to do at a place like this. There are way too many awesome figures at the show. So much temptation. Cheers M
Ive always wanted to go but im too young!
It’s a pretty cool convention. I’m sure you’ll eventually make it there and when you do, you’ll have a blast. Cheers M
@@TransformersAndVideoGames Thanks
Christ! I've seen nothing like this in my 45 years on this planet.
Hey Audie. Thanks for checking it out. It’s a pretty incredible toy convention for anyone who’s into Transformers. Your jaw would drop if you were there in person. So much awesome TF related stuff packing into one room. Cheers M
Wow, cool vid, I'm guessing this is in Canada cause some of those prices seem rather steep. Still there's bound to be a bargain somewhere in there.
Hi Paul. That’s right. This is TFCon Toronto so you’re absolutely right about the higher prices due to the exchange rate. There were some deals though and the vendors were generally open to negotiation. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice vid. Thanks for posting! I'm curious though. Those prices on the legends figs like Magic Square, in the beginning of the vid are roughly $5-10 more than if you were to buy them on-line! Is it like that with most prices at these Cons?? If so I will just stay home, buy in bulk for free shipping and just save $$
Thanks for the compliment. I really appreciate it. These prices are actually in CAD so they will appear higher than the USD equivalent that most people are used to seeing online. Having said that, I would encourage every Transformers fan to attend at least one of these conventions in their lifetime. It’s just really cool to see so much awesome stuff all in one room together and it’s great to meet and talk to so many likeminded fans. Thanks for commenting. Cheers M
Looks amazing m. Hope u r well
Hey Mick. It’s great to hear from you, brother. I’m doing well. How have you been? I think you were the one that told me about Iron Factory Legends figures about a year and a half ago. See how popular they are now? Cheers M
@@TransformersAndVideoGames im good been busy w/work, life etc. Yeah the IF train is steaming along and it seems its getting stronger n stronger especially their output in releases. Id say they are the company of the year in terms of 3rd party imo. I highly recommend them if u are interested.
actually great memory, was it really a year and a half ago. time flies LOL
I actually bought their Shockwave at your recommendation a while back. It’s a very cool figure. I almost feel like you discovered those cool Legends before anyone else I know was talking about them. It was great advice on your part. I really like the figure but don’t think I want to head down the Legends rabbit whole too much. They add up when you are buying a bunch of them at the same time. Cheers M
It’s sure does, brother. Time waits for no one. I’m becoming an old man.
Coolest video ever
Lots of quality merch there! Any 'scratch and dent' discount sections?
LOL...there are always scratch and dent discount opportunities. I bought a cool Optimus Prime in a less than perfect box but I got a great deal on it. Any interest in attending a show like this or is it too transformers focussed?
@@TransformersAndVideoGames Yeah I'd like to check it out one these times I think
Cool. You just need to get there early. It’s a bit more expensive but well worth it in the long run.
Wish I was there
Do you guys have something similar in Scotland? Have you ever been to TF Nation or Auto Assembly before that?
@@TransformersAndVideoGames yea been wanting to go to one just money is a issue so try not to spend lol
I know what you mean. At least you have your priorities in check. I spoke to a few people at the show who don’t...LOL.
@@TransformersAndVideoGames lol nah I had to ever since I fell ill and had to stop working, just had to make sure what I was paying out etc.
If I ever win the lottery...
I know what you mean. You can run through a lot of money at a show like this. Thanks for checking out the video. Cheers M
Transformers and Video Games Thanks for giving me the chance to have a virtual tour!
My pleasure. I’m really glad people are enjoying the videos so thanks for saying that. People are often quick to downvote virtual tours like this for one reason or another but they don’t often consider the effort that they take to put together. Have a great day. Cheers M
That is transformers over load
Hi Craig. That’s a really good and very accurate way of putting it. Have you ever been? I have a shorter part 2 of my dealer room walk through uploaded if you’re interested in seeing some of the other things that were there this year. Cheers M
