LEon of Open The Toy also blogged about this event and our blog post formats are so similar (purely coincidental!). He referred the organisers to me. Thanks LEon!
Other local toy bloggers who have posted about this event are Katsuden, LittlePlasticMan, Shaun & desmond. See you all there too!
I look forward to attending this exciting toy event next month. Hope to see lots of local and overseas Transformers fans and collectors there too! Happy waiting for TFCC 2012!
