The Official Transformers Collectors Club has confirmed that their highly anticipated store exclusives,
Runabout and the somewhat less anticipated Shattered Glass Drift will be availible

exact date, but the recommendation is if you want to secure these two
exclusives, you'll need to be a member by January 1st 2012. The
estimated ship date is early March.

Dealers tables allocations are going very quickly for Auto Assembly 2012 and bookings for them are already close to that of Auto Assembly 2011! Tables are still available for dealers who are interested but you’ll need to book sooner rather than later to get the best spots in the hall! We will need to know how many tables you are interested in booking along with prompt payment so we can make sure we can fit you in! For those of you who are regular dealers who haven’t been in touch yet, please do not assume that we have automatically reserved space for you as tables will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Two more LA-based guests announced for Roll Out / Roll Call 2012!
We're 16 weeks away from Europe's largest combined G.I-Joe / Action Force and Transformers show Roll Out / Roll Call 2012 and it is with great pleasure that Transformers At The Moon can exclusively reveal the names of two more guests for the show.
The pair are long time fans of both Transformers and G.I-Joe / Action Force and will be making only their second appearance at a European Convention. They are well known within the fan communities of both franchises as well as generally being two of the nicest and most interesting people you could meet. Have you guest who they are yet?
That's right, the guests are none other than Jim Sorenson andd Bill Forster, writers of the both the Allspark Almanac books, the Ark Books (all three of them) and most recently Allspark Almanac Addendum (published within issue 6 of the Timelines comic that re-printed The Stunti-con Job). Jim and Bill will be on hand all weekend to meet, great, sign, and generally hang out with fans of both shows as well as taking to the stage over the weekend to give a presentation and take question on both Transformers and G.I-Joe.
Jim and Bill were extremely popular guests when we bought them over for Auto Assembly 2010 and we have been keen on bringing them back to the UK for another show. At the same time they are both as keen, if not more so, to come back to the UK and meet up with everyone again and so brings us all great pleasure to have them back on these shores for a show that covers not just Transformers but also G.I-Joe, a series that both these men care about.
So if you were unsure whether to attend Roll Out Roll Call 2012 in Southampton next March, then I hope that this announcement will convince you to attend the event and support it.
Roll Out / Roll Call 2012 is the UK Fan Show Convention dedicated to Transformers, Action Force & GI Joe which will be taking place over the weekend of the 10th-11th March 2012 at Southampton's largest hotel, Jurys Inn overlooking East Park. It will be the third show for the event and is organised primarily by Dave Tree of All The Cool Stuff. Everyone helping out organise and promote the event is very proud to welcome some very special guests from the world of Transformers, Action Force & GI-Joe including Larry Hama (1st UK show), Simon Furman, Andrew Wildman, Robert Atkins (1st UK show), Jon Goode (1st UK show), Jim Sorenson and Bill Forster. There are still at least three special guests to be announced, so stay tuned to the websites at the bottom of this announcement for all the latest news.RollOut Roll Call 2012

All The Cool Stuff have sent out the following announcement regarding the announcement of two new guest for Roll Out Roll Call 2012. If you do not know what Roll Out Roll Call is then allow me to explain. The event if a two day convention taking place in March in Southampton here within the United Kingdom. The show is dedicated to Action Force, G.I-Joe and Transformers. Next year will be the third show for this growing event and we encourage everyone who is a fan of one of these lines to drop by as it's going to be a blast as well as a great chance to catch up with some fellow fans at the end of the Winter.
Back to the news, here is a copy of the announcement
"Since announcing Larry Hama's attendance, there's a lot of excitement and interest in Roll Out Roll Call 2012, the UK Transformers, GI-Joe & Action Force show. Want to know next 2 guests for Roll Out Roll Call 2012? Checkout & listen to Episode 25 of "What's on JOE Mind" for the exclusive new guest announcements: http://whatsonjoemind.podbean.com
There will be more exclusive announcements over the next few weeks, so stay tuned or follow the show on Twitter @rolloutrollcall."
Transformers At The Moon will be in attendance at the event, as we are fans of both of these lines, and we are also please to announce that we are also sponsoring the event next year to try to help it grow.
If you come along to Auto Assembly every August you no doubt feel that a year is too long to meet-up with your Transformers friends, sure there is the odd meet-up arrange but most of us can't make them or justify the trips, but with Roll Out Roll Call there is a lot more going on to justify the journey. You will have the social aspect, the dealers, panels, the cosplayer and, of course, the guests. The events are almost 6 months apart giving everyone the best possible chance to make both events and help unite and strength the bonds of the fan communities for both these iconic lines.
I encourage you to keep you eye on the show, the official twitter account, Transformers At The Moon, Blood For The Baron, What's on Joe Mind, Full Metal Hero and The Nerdsphere for more announcements as the event gets closer.
