London Expo 2nd-3rd October

Post by saiyanprincess » Sat Sep 27, 2008 4:30 am

Kanichiwa everybody!

I was wondering if anybody had any news on the London Expo, and to what is going to be shown? I only live 70 miles from London and as fate has it, thats my weekend off work! :P

It's October 1st-2nd. You need to register at the official website. Some things are available to the public, though some are private or by invite-only.
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

Weekend, eh?
Nice, I work weekdays, so it looks like I might be giving this one a shot.
Gettin' to London can be a little pricey, s'only 4 hours on a train though, I could give it a shot, whats going on there this year?

No, the 2nd London Expo is usually on October 30th-31st, turns out this one isn't, but also the Saiyanprincess and JAPPO got the date wrong, It's 24th and 25th, or 25th and 26th, I can't remember.

It has really gone down hill since the first time I went. I didn't even get to see everything and since I can't get in with a child's ticket any more, I'm going to give the October one a miss. They use to show anime there but last time they didn't. But if your going to go, the October one is usually the best one.

Edit: Wait are we talking about the London MCM expo? I'm confused.
I finally bought a gamecube. To bad they don't make any games for it now.

Wow I'm getting all confused now... So there is two! :?

I heard rumors on this site that the full movie was going to be shown, but I am unsure whether it will be for invite-only. I have to be honest, I have never been to an expo before so it will be pretty exciting! Plus it ties in with my brothers birthday, So I am hoping to drag him down to London for the day although pay a whack for train tickets!

(I do not want to even contemplate driving near that city, let alone park and pay dear m.r Browns congestion charge!)

Does anybody know the website link in which you registar and get all the details and times it is being held? I hope you don't have to dress up... I have less than a week!!! Scrap my cousins 21st party.... Dragonball Z....

The London Expo is on October 25th and 26th 2008. That is what the OFFICAL site says. Link: http://www.londonexpo.com/

This happens a lot. People ALWAYS get the date wrong. FOR THE OFFICAL DATES, LOOK ON THE OFFFICAL SITE :|

Oh no damnit! Thanks for the official link, I was searching for that the other day and could not find it! :?

I'm really pissed now, I am already away that weekend down South!

I knew the trailer would do that, every trailer these days does the same cliche thing, *use epic slow paced clips, move on to fast moving clips for 1 second each, show a kissing bit, insert title, the end*. >_>

Well I'm not sold yet. At the very least it's gonna have some amazing action scenes. They could have shown Chatwin going into a Kamehameha stance before it cuts to the title card. Maybe in the longer trailer?

Maybe that blue light coming from his palm was what they considered Kamehameha. >_> <_< >_> Kidding. Just looked like a simple Kiai blast or something, it seems you aim at someone and then BAM, random explosion appears. XD

Mmm mmm. That was a Ki-ai for sure. Piccolo sent Chatwin flying into some rocks and I guess he gets up and returns the favor. Damn I wish we could hear some sound! >_<

I can't stop laughing at it though. *aims, random explosion behind Piccolo* XD, sometimes I get humored so easily. Haha.
