Which bags are best for Omnibus's?

It didn’t move much in the past day, but still a great buy for whoever got it.

Amazing Lee sketch, do you mind if I ask how you managed to get him to do a cover reinterpretation?

Yep, once had a piece of art get wet in transit, so art inside a sealed plastic bag is a must.

I once had an artist ship me two pieces of art sandwiched between two pieces of Masonite placed inside an oversized jiffy bag.  The Masonite sheets got broken in transit.

. . . . which is why I subscribe to your last point that I've highlighted.

My only concern with shipping art sealed in plastic is depending on the weather and where it is stored until being shipped, is condensation developing between the sheets of plastic and still damaging the art.

That's a pretty obscure request.  You may have to buy another MIP sample to accommodate that request. 

Seems to be an obscure item to replace.  Cannot seem to find anyone who sells parts. It would be unfortunate to buy a new car, just to get the hoverboard. The cars are going for over $300.

I have a Hot Wheels Elite BTTF Delorean, 1:18 (BCJ 97), comes with a hoverboard, but sadly have misplaced the hoverboard. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement board? The car feels incomplete without it.

The whole VIP thing this year has been a let down and have heard this from many VIPs. 

VIP was not told until an hour into the signing that we were able to use our VIP badges. That was a massive confusion and hassle in itself. 

What is the signing schedule for John Byrne this weekend (nothing announced) and will he be signing in the comic signing area or only at a booth? As well, will we get VIP front of the line for him? Most comic artists only seem to be signing at their booths, VIP is not applicable for too many in the comic area this year. 

Is Byrne going to be at the Expo today?

What time is the box office at the MTCC open till today?

With all the dealer sales regarding them, was just curious about the supply quantity. Also, curious of availability, especially for those showing up on Friday. 

How many Jock exclusive variants will the Fan Expo store have in stock and when does the store open on Thursday?

VIP has never given front of the line for panel presentations. Just main theatre presentations however I can ask how that's being addressed in light of the fact that the flooding of the John Bassett Theatre in the North Building has necessitated moving a lot of the presentations that would have been there moving into other rooms. Which is why you noticed more Q&As are in the 200 level room.

Comic artist signings in the signing area are all on the schedule. Lots happening there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. VIP Lane in effect. Liu/Takeda, Snyder, Snyder/Capullo, Kubert, Ramos Specially ticketed event will all have access to VIP lanes.

Currently no, we are not set up to give VIP priority access at the artist tables. We are discussing adding a VIP concierge table to the south like they do in the celebrity area. Please feel free to come by the signing area and talk to me or one of my staff if you need assistance with any long table lines. 

Thanks for the response. To clarify, because a lot of the Q&A's have moved to the 200 level, will our VIP pass work there as well? Otherwise it will seem more limited this year.  As well, is there anything you can do to help the VIPs get easier access to the comic panels?

Does VIP this year give you front of the line for any other rooms in North or South Building other than 100's, I.e. 200, 700, ...? I noticed more celebrity Q&A's are in the 200 level rooms.  As well, will any comic artists being doing any signings in the comic signing area or just at their booths and does VIP give us any privileges at the comic booths?  Thanks. 

When does the Hasbro preregistration website usually open?

What's Byrne's signing policy, how are the lines and do VIP's get to the front of the line?

Is the John Byrne autograph package the only way to get autographs from him or will he also be doing a free signing? If there is a free signing is there a restriction on the type and amount of items?

What is the story behind that C&H's strip?

Actually, I’m not sure why I phrased it that way. It’s likely that he’s signing any IDW Star Trek books and trades. I believe he also has a special release at that show. I forget if it’s a artifact edition or something similar.   The main take away is that he will only be signing Star Trek books. No Marvel. 

Google it. 

Pretty sure he has stuff on his own blog site  about it too. 

He may sign the IDW artists or artifact edition books. They are IDW and technically not Marvel.

Why include an image at all? I mean, you can just ask me a question. Or you can send me a private message. 

I don't have any details yet on Byrne to share. We're talking to him, setting the details of the packages and what he will and won't sign and for what. 

Thanks for the prompt update.

Legendary creator John Byrne will be making a rare appearance at#FANEXPOCanada2018 alongside the one and only William Shatner! 

Kevin,

I know you will be eventually announcing packages regarding Byrne. At present are you able to say if he will only be signing IDW Star Trek books he worked on? Or will he sign any IDW book i.e. Artist Edition, Marvel or DC printed comics and will he touch reprints or compilations of his work i.e. Omnibus? As well, do you know how many sigs and costs? Will VIPs have front of the line access with him? Any info or timeframe regarding info would be much appreciated. Thanks. 

Great work Kevin!

It's not about the money for him, it's about how he feels about comic books being placed in plastic cases. I would be incredibly shocked if he ever decided to do it again.

 

At least he is now willing to attend some conventions.  If only we could get Ditko to do the same thing.
