Most celebs have multiple different pictures featuring their different characters from different series. Sometimes multiples of their most prominate role as well.
Cool! Thanks for the info! I wanted Stan Lee's autograph, but wasn't sure if he had a picture that he would sign.

Re: Fan Expo Vancouver 2013

It turns out I can't go both days after all. The good news is, they were kind enough to refund me my money and I bought just for Sunday instead. I totally forgot a friend was coming in from out of town, and us guys promised to take care of the kids while the girls got to go to the salon for the afternoon. Grrr. I can't believe I agreed to that on that freaking weekend! Ah well.

I don't care for the celebrity guests, but I'm going to probably be comic hunting most of the day. Try to find some older trades, etc., considering how many comic stores will be there all at once. Last year I sort of wandered without a clue, but this year I have more of a plan. Got a list of books and stuff I want.

That kind of sucks that you won't be going for both days. It was pretty cool of them to give you a refund though.

The only celebrity guest I would line up and pay for an autograph is Stan Lee. For the most part, I'm going there to meet the artists and see the panels. So it's pretty much me bringing a bunch of stuff for them to sign or draw on. LOL!

Re: Fan Expo Vancouver 2013

The Fan Expo Vancouver folks have added another event on their site. It's the limited Meet & Greet Session with Stan Lee. There will be 2 sessions and both are held at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel:

Session 1: 7:30PM Friday, April 19th (Ticket Price: $199.99)

Session 2: 8:00AM Saturday, April 20th (Ticket Price: $179.99)

For those who want to partake in the Limited Meet & Greet with Stan Lee sessions, you will need to buy tickets for it. These aren't cheap and they are separate from the admissions fee to the convention. So if you want to go to the session and to the convention, you have to pay for both.

Here is more info on the Meet & Greet:

• Private Function limited to 100 people per session

• Photo Op with Stan Lee (with your own camera)

• Stan Lee will sign 1 autograph per paid attendee at the meet & greet session

• Exclusive presentation by Stan Lee

• Refreshments and light food will be served

• Kids Free Coupon NOT VALID at the Meet & Greet sessions

Yeah. They said no refunds on the site, but I emailed them and explained the situation and offerred to buy the Sunday ticket first before they refunded. So they asked me to send them the new confirmation number and they reversed the old one.

At any rate, there's not many events like this in Vancouver, so it's always a treat to go.

That is really cool of them to do that! Congrats on the refund!

Yeah, I totally agree. Since I don't travel to other major conventions, it is the only place I get to meet the big name comic artists. I kept my old comics in good condition hoping one day I would finally get to meet some of the artists. With Fan Expo, I will be able to!

I am hoping at some point Fan Expo Vancouver will bring in:
Greg Capullo
Todd McFarlane
Marc Silvestri
Jim Lee
Amanda Conner
Just to name a few!

Re: Fan Expo Vancouver 2013

I'm sure they will eventually. Just needs to get big enough.

Unfortunately I have no old comics anymore. I had a couple long boxes of Marvel and DC, with stuff like the first appearance of Venom, Gambit, Carnage, etc. Some pretty cool stuff. My mom sold the entire box for $25 when I was away at university. Still pissed about that.

Re: Fan Expo Vancouver 2013

This year, I'm looking forward to have James Marsters sign my Picollo figure packaging box.

I'm hoping that Fan Expo Vancouver would be big enough to invite some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles related guest.

Oh no! That sucks! I made sure to hide my collection from my parents back in the days. I knew if they found it they would junk it. They considered it to be "waste of space".

My collection is composed mostly of Image Comics and some random stuff. Looking back, I was kind of surprised that I didn't have that many Marvel or DC comics.
