NEW AGAIN
Luis Vega
Boom has been obsessed with Transformers, so he was more than happy to walk the packed convention fl oor and try to fi nd G1 Transformers as well as other giant mechs from my childhood. We found tables full of classic Transformers releases as well as a brand new fi gure for Mecha-Godzilla (my childhood obsession) and the brilliant but oft overlooked vehicle Voltron. Also on display were incredibly sculpted statues of Megatron and Grimlock based on their mid '80s looks. —LV

BUILDING A FANBASE
Boom and I were pretty interested in attending the Gundam Build a free model kit seminar. Experts were showing basic building techniques, and everyone walked away with a free basic Gundam model. Unfortunately the classes were completely full. I’m sure that's something he’s looking forward to do if they have a similar event in the future. I was able to take a picture of RX-0 Unicorn Gundam without any attendees in the way early one morning, but Madeline came back and shot it more to scale later. It might be bigger than the 2018 Soundwave, but didn't get as big a pop out of Boom. —LV
Boom claims he would have been way more interested in building whatever was on the Gundam tables than standing in line for video games

Dragon Ball figures were displayed nearby because Bandai owns Gundam. These did not interest Boom as much as military robots.
