Great video, as always! Have to say that it didn't seem particularly busy this time round. Like you mention, not much movie stuff is going on. The next one in October will be interesting with the joint convention their doing with EGX.

[@GeekExplorers]

Thank you, it never felt particularly busy to me, even popped outside on Saturday lunch time and there was no queue to get back in. The isles were big and there was so much space allotted for food that I think it helped to relieve the pressure on the rest of the Con floor. Or it could have been busy and I’m just totally oblivious to it 😂 There was a House of Dragons display for the new series but there was constantly a queue to sit on the throne so I skipped it and I totally forgot to film the BBC Doctor Who display. Hopefully there’ll be more movie and TV things in October. Deffo looking forward to what Hasbro do for Transformers at the next one. I’m looking forward to seeing how it links up with EGX. Temped to check it out?

Is this the comic con in Kensington?

[@GeekExplorers]

This is MCM at the Excel, London Film and Comic Con by Show Masters is the one in Kensington at the Olympia. I’ve got videos of their Spring events and of the July event on my channel. Cheers kzbin.info/aero/PLI7tvU07B9B--tfjHutJzPexQO04OOwRo&feature=shared

@@GeekExplorers would you say it’s worth it especially for the first time

[@GeekExplorers]

@2ndnature777 it’s a tricky one to answer, I’ve enjoyed some of my previous Showmasters events but in Spring the size of it had reduced and last summer it reduced in size hence I didn’t film. If you’re going to meet some specific celebs, see some panels and do a bit of shopping it can be a fun day out. It’s on a much smaller scale than MCM though this does mean it’s less overbearing and can be easier to negotiate. For me I definitely consider it a premium priced day out as I think it’s about £20 for entry and then train and food on top. For the summer one I’ve only ever done the Friday which has been enjoyable as it’s quiet but there’s still some cool cosplays. The main thing is I’ve no idea if it’s going to return to its larger scale from two summers ago or continue to be a smaller scale convention. In March they did have building work going on at the Olympia so that might have been the reason for the smaller size, if that’s finished it might be bigger. Hope that wasn’t to rambling 🙂

I missed it & glad i did it didn't look great if im being honest would have been q complete waste of money i spent mine all on eBay & very happy i did

[@GeekExplorers]

Glad to hear you had a successful EBay splurge, my wallet deffo would have thanked me if I’d done similar lol. It can be a bit of pot luck with MCM as you can never be sure what’s going to be there. As I say I had a great time and very happy with my weekend. Cheers!

[@unclebobconner1417]

@@GeekExplorers I don't think my wallet thanked me I spent about £250 now theres a big hole lol & I know what your saying you sometimes never know whats going to be there I probably see a couple of things I might have picked up like aliens & predator stuff but not a great deal probably to much anime Japanese type stuff there & not enough other stuff maybe should be a bit more even also should add some different things then last year as darleks was there again but it's just my opinion at least you enjoyed it did you pick up much

[@GeekExplorers]

So many sad times for a collectors wallet 😂 Lucky for me I’m into anime so happy for that side of it. MCM’s great if you’re into loads of stuff due to broadness but not so good if you’re only into some niches. Yeah largely Transformers, a Gears, Crankcase, Wheeljack and Jihaxus. Then a bunch of those Blockees model kits, prints and a couple of graphic novels. I tend not to include all my pickups in my videos as this one was bloated enough haha.
