Here's looking forward to next year for RU/RC 4 - probably at the NEC knowing Dave's ambition.

Here's a round of some more of the photo's following the Roll Out Roll Call Transformers/ GI-Joe show:
All The Cool Stuff
The show took place over the Saturday and Sunday at Jurys Inn Hotel in Southampton. We had a great line up of guests, some of whom have never attended a UK show before. The vibe was electric and everyone really enjoyed the weekend giving people the chance to meet, talk and attend presentations of the brands they love:

Robert Atkins & Simon Gough also produced a limited edition print featuring the bad guys from the early UK GI-Joe/ Action Force storyline:
Outside of Hasbro Europe and Paramount UK, there were also exhibits featuring original artwork and also from third party companies showcasing some of their current and forthcoming products:
Mastermind Creations:
Marauder 'Gun Runners':
There were plenty of traders present, offering a range of product from the early 80's releases right up to the latest ranges:
Authors Jim Sorenson, Bill Forster and James Kavanaugh Jr were all present to discuss their book projects too:
