    Jul 22, 2012 - RS - RPF Prop Party London Expo #1

    Off the Back of 2 now of two very successful events with our friends The Expo team, they would definately now like the RPF Prop display to become a Permanent feature at their events.

    They have asked us to take part in the London Comic Con and Expo ............................. we (the rpf) cannot commit to this event without your help we rely on you guys signing up and prepared to bring your Props.

    London Expo is by far the biggest event in the UK on the convention calendar, the rewards for the RPF to attend this in terms of Notority would be Epic.

    If we/you can commit to the London Expo then the Birmingham event November will not go ahead London will replace it In October


    This is very Important event for the RPF i cant stress enough how much of a huge honour this is to be asked to be a part of this event ..... its waht we set out to do.

    Its a 2 day event October 26th through to the 28th However we are only committing to 2 days at this stage

    Please please sign up as early as possible for this event i have lot of organising to get though to make this a big success

    The Stand at Manchester Looked absolutely stunning and this is the second event now where we have basically stole the show

    London would be the Ultimate End to the Year

    Over to you guys ............

    Not for me Simon, Bham is nice and easy for my stuff, and was looking forward to it.
    Manchester wasnt high on my list just due to distance, thats just me as im super anal about my stuff, so London is a no for me buddy, sorry.

    Same here Simon, London would be just too much for us guys to do as with cost and stuff, birmingham is alot better for us on these points and last year was alot of fun as was manchester, so im afraid its either birmingham for us or none sorry.

    OK if i had to be honest, its Bham that got us onto the map as it were, it got us that recognition, and, im sure, fans will be hoping to see us again this year, ive already got a few guys coming to look on that basis alone.

    Cancelling it for London in Oct, just seems cold to me, a little bit of gimme gimme, i dont mean to offend by saying this Simon, you should know i respect you and what you do a great deal, but, if Mem is off the cards, i have to say, id feel a bit cheated, and, i cant stand London LOL.

    Im nothing in the grand scale, but, i just wanted to portray my feelings on this, London gets a great deal today, i just thought it was pretty cool for grimy old Brum to have something a little special.

    Brum does make sense as its central to all, its not bad to get there from most destinations. London although far far far away if I'm available would attend as I'm actual in London on the 26th with Work, its just logistics for me to get the stuff there.

    Its not paved with GOLD...ITs a Lie!!!!

    Nice to be invited though, you've obviously done the RPF proud again in Manchester. It will soon be called "Phils Falcon Con"

    Phil's falcon con ?..hmmm I like it !!

    But seriously...I would prefer brum too to be honest. London's fine, I have no problem with the place itself..it's just that it's harder to get to and more expensive..and I tend to agree with Lee that it would be a shame to back out on mem in nov, now that we've kinda said we'll do it, and they gave us the break in the first place..

    Anyway, just my 2p's worth..

    I do agree that Simon did an awesome job in Manchester, I knew he would though..

    Cheers

    Phil

    Completely agree with you guys on this one, I think its has to be Birmingham it was such a blast last time and this one is only going to be bigger alot of us are gearing up for it, and I think if we didnt do it there people would be dissapointed, I know I would be if I went to memorabilia to see the rpf / tdh this year and they where not there.

    Its why i voiced how i felt lads. NO offense whatsoever to our man on the front line, Simon, who has done such a lot of work for us all already, we owe him a lot.
    Sure, if London can be in the same calendar, all good, leaves a lot of variety, but to omit Bham completely, just feels like an own goal?

    At this Stage Guys its just a suggestion and im only Asking what you guys would prefer

    The Event is nothing without you turning up to display your Props and i stress the point again ............. Its your Event !!

    If Birmingham is your prefered Choice then Birmingham it is, however and i must stress this London would be an awsome experience and it should not be dismissed as a no goer rather Shelved as a possibility next year maybe ..... Please remember that we are a big draw for the guys at EXPO so it is only natural that they should want us at as many of their events as possible, please also consider they gave us the big break to do this.

    Memrobillia is a far bigger event for people that will be interested in the props than expo London. They are wouking on expanding the memrobillia london part but Expo is still mainly a Manga event.

    A suggestion i put forward Simon, put London on the calendar, and try it next year.
    Itll make for a busy couple of months, but if the guys willing want it, itll work out.

    Is Prop Building just a northern thing in the UK ?? Are there no southern propsters to step in and fill tables at the London event ??

    Personally I think the prop party suits the Brum Mem event audience better ... but the Manga audience at MCMEXPO Manchester certainly enjoyed us , so the MCMEXPO london lot should aswell , and as its exposing a new young audience to our hobby , it cant be bad .

    On a personal note , I cant afford to do London , but can afford Brum .

    We've had two very successful Prop Parties now, next one the board is London Expo.
    Unfortunately we can't make birmingham due to other commitments.

    Brian has ageed pending details to come and sign with us again and we are looking into getting other guest signers on The Replica Prop Forum Stand.

    We'll Do what we can to help sort transport out and any other arrangements under Simon's (Supa Troop) guidance.

    I'm willing to hire a 7,5 tonner van and help people with there props if people are willing to come down. This is our Capital this should be our biggest event of the year.

    Lets make this an Olympic Event!

    If you are interested in coming down can you please show your interest so we can get more interest here and if you'd like help with transport please just PM me I'll do what i can to help out.

    London Expo would be a great event for the RPF, we should try and at least get some kind of Table set up even if it is with the minimal amount of props to display.

    Id be very interested to know the member percentages here of RPF members who live in the south and the North, i cannot believe for one minute we have no-one down south !!!

    No-one has to commit to the whole weekend just one day would be perfect to get out name through the door.

    Is there anyone down south willing to tag along with the RS boys and display for a day or 2

    I'm in the south and even though I don't have many props I would like to do this show in the future. For this year I'm not even sure if I will be going to the show or not yet.

    Right guys I've been talking at length with Art about what we're doing in the uk with the prop party and he's pleased with what we've manage to archive so far there are a couple of little tweaks we need to sort out as far as what we'll be displaying, but the good news is London Propstore as part of the RPF have agreed to give us there support on the event.

    Also we will be working on some new banners for TDH and the Rpf to be more in line with what Art already has in the US that way it gives us a more unified look across the to sights and across the pond. We'll get these produced and then they can be passed on to Simon for the RPF event in Birmingham in November
