I will be writing up about five reports and posting them at the ILS in the coming week. I did take pictures, but my camera's cheap and many of them didn't turn out very well. I'll try to get the ones that turned out OK online.

There were a lot of glitches at OTFCC. Things didn't run as smoothly, but I kinda expected that with Glen and Co getting such a late start on everything. Things should run better next year, including a better panel room, yay! In spite of everything, I think most everybody still had a lot of fun. I did.

Unlike last year, when my toy shopping consisted of the convention exclusives and later toys (BW/BM/RiD), I focussed mainly on G1 toys--having already paid for my exclusive toys in advance. Plus, I got a somewhat unique fan-interest item, which I didn't set out to do but the opportunity kinda fell in my lap. Here's the run-down:

1) Soudwave, a bit loose, no box, but complete and kept in a Zip-loc bag. $50.
2) Doublecross, loose, no gun, but intact. $8.
3) Kickback, loose, no weapon, but intact. $2.
4) Sludge, ditto. $34.
5) Rumble (remember that with the toys, RIRFIB), loose, intact and complete, $22.
6) A copy of the script from Saturday night's script reading--apparently the one used by David Kaye--signed by Simon Furman, David Kaye, Garry Chalk and Gregg Berger. Bought it from Furman for $10, got the signatures for free.
