It's less than 2 and 1/2 hours until Roll Out Roll Call gets underway in Southampton in Hampshire.
There have been a few snags on setup day, and prior to the event, but everyone was in good spirits yesterday during setup. There are around 12 dealers in attendence selling Action Force, GI Joe, Transformers, Masters of the Universe, 3rd Party goods, Thundercats, Tick and various other toylines.
Several of the domestic and international guests have already been spotted and are raring to go.
The event lasts Saturday and Sunday, starts at 10:00 today and tickets are available on the door for day passes.
Mastermind Creations will be showing off what the next 12 months will see with some exclusive reveals, the first time a UK show has a big reveal for Transformers (all be it a Third Party Company).
We'll be bringing you coverage live from the event, so stay tuned
Tomorrow is the start of Roll Out Roll Call 2012 and so we bring you a link to another exclusive item that will be available at the show. IDW artist Robert Atkins (who will be in attendance at the show) has onced again teamed up with UK colourist Simon Gough (who'll also be at the show) to produce a limited edition Red Shadows print. Robert posted the news on his blog and we have mirrored the final image below.
In case you had forgotten, we are just 5 days away from Roll Out Roll Call 2012 (the third installment of the GI-Joe / Transformers Convention, and Simon Furman has updated his blog regarding the event.
Barely have I gathered my thoughts and gear after London Super Comic Con than I’m off again. A week from now I’ll be heading to Southampton for Roll Out, Roll Call 3, the all-singing, all-dancing Transformers/G.I. Joe/Action Force event, which runs across the weekend of 10th & 11th March.
I’ll be there along with the likes of fellow Regeneration One creatives Andrew Wildman and Jean-Paul Bove, the god of G.I. Joe Larry Hama, Jim Sorenson & Bill Foster (the Allspark Almanac gurus) and many more. It promises to be a simply amazing weekend.
As well as signing/selling original scripts (largely unpublished), comics and more, all weekend, I’ll be taking part in a dedicated Q&A session (where more dirt on Regeneration One is bound to get dished) and presenting a special Transformers script-to-page presentation, featuring the art of fan favourite Nick Roche. The presentation is capped by a special gallery section featuring rare (again, often unpublished) art from the likes of EJ Su, Don Figueroa, Alex Milne and more. And in addition, there’ll be a permanent display of Transformers (and Action Force) original art from my own personal collection to enjoy.
If you can, get yourself along. It’s sure to be blast. For more details and how to order tickets, check out the All the Cool Stuff website here.
Simon Plumbe, head of Auto Assembly, has posted an update regarding their 100% record on credit card security across the 12 year history of the convention.
We know that many Transformers fans across the globe are currently concerned about repeated incidents of credit card fraud that have been taking place recently that are affecting many of you in these difficult financial times. To allay any concerns that you may have, bookings for Auto Assembly 2012 are still open and have been unaffected by this and we have not had any issues regarding credit / debit card fraud since the convention started in 2000.
We have been using PayPal to handle all our transactions safely since 2004 and are happy to offer alternative methods of payment for anyone wishing to attend the convention if you do have any concerns about paying using any electronic method. I can personally assure you that none of my team have access to any of your financial details or any of your personal information other than your name, address and email address which we need for the purpose of the convention itself.
In addition, I offer my personal guarantee that none of this information is shared with any third part organisation or individual not involved in the running of the convention.
In addition, I would like to offer assurances to all of you that our sister convention, Auto Assembly Europe, also uses PayPal for all of its bookings and transactions and as such is also unaffected by any credit card issues but they too will also be able to help with any concerns you may have once bookings open for this year’s event later in the year.

James "KuuKuuSon" Kavanaugh Jr. is the author of the R.A.H.C. Guide, printer of the Declassified newsletter and a contributor to the G.I. Joe Collectors Club and the Declassified Booth.
While KuuKuuSon is a member of many online G.I. Joe forums, he is more known for his "in person" approach to the community, co-founding two Ohio area collectors clubs and a regular attendee at the International Convention. A collector of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero action figures since their debut in 1982, KuuKuuSons paused in 1990 to pursue other avenues only to be drawn back in by his late discovery of the then cancelled Marvel Comic series in 1996; a move which inevitably led to his "no turning back" full-on collecting point in 2002.
KuuKuuSon utilized his graphic design skills produce a supplemental fullback card for the Collectors Club renewal figures that are given away free at conventions as well as design the official 2007 exclusive Sigma Six Red Ninja file card. It has also been stated that he put G.I. Joe costuming on the map. KuuKuuSon also collects Transformers Comics, Starscreams, World of Springfield and Masters of the Universe.
James is traveling from Dayton, OH U.S.A. to promote his new book R.A.H.C. A Guide to Second Generation O-Ring G.I. Joe Action Figures.
Timey2Wimey has posted a new profile video for Roll Out Roll Call, the G.I-Joe / Action Force and Transformers convention taking place here within the UK in Match. The video is a preview for the colourist John-Paul Bove and can be viewed below.
