I'm surprised Linda Hamilton didn't have a lineup. She was pretty busy on Saturday and she was one of the autographs I really wanted. Also when I met her she was very friendly.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that Eric Bischoff was NOT there with Hogan when he was signing yesterday. I would've liked to have met him, but oh well. Saved me the $20 in the end. And no prices were changed, as far as I saw anyway.

Might as well bump this thread for this year's Fan Expo, instead of creating an all new one. I'm only attending on the Friday and hopefully meet Hulk Hogan again, Trish Stratus & Lita.
Still as big of a cash-grab as always. Unreal what some of these guys are asking for autographs. $110 for Matt Smith from Dr. Who. That's insanity, but people will still pay it. That guy is gonna be raking in the money, no question.

I was browsing through their website and under the horror guests I noticed that kurgan will also be at this event.

That's pretty cool that he's appearing at this event. Might have to get 300 or the first Sherlock Holmes DVD covers signed since he was in them. I also hope I held onto the old WWF Magazine with The Oddities on the cover. That would be a great item to get signed as well.

I actually got the oddities cover signed by him in 2010 when he appeared at the wizard world convention!

I noticed a few of the guests have changed the days that they will be appearing. All wwe guests remain the same.

I noticed a few of the guests have changed the days that they will be appearing. All wwe guests remain the same. Yep, probably their attempt to try and get more money, which will work, lol. For example, Richard Dreyfuss was originally scheduled for Sat & Sun, but is now appearing Fri, Sat, and Sun. I'm kinda glad he's appearing Friday because I can meet him now. He's charging $45 for an autograph, but I don't know what item I should get signed by him because I've got a few. I've got an American Graffiti Blu-Ray which is already signed by 3 actors, then I've got What About Bob? on DVD, Stand By Me on Blu-Ray and finally Let It Ride on DVD. I'm thinking get the Let It Ride DVD cover signed because it's got a nice big picture of him on the front. I think that's the best one to go with. Either that or American Graffiti. Man, this is going to be an expensive weekend for sure. I'm still unsure how many items I want to get signed by Hulk, Trish and Lita. Depending on my money, I am thinking 2 items for sure, MAYBE 3. I really doubt 3 because that's $180 at $60 a pop. What items should I get signed by Hulk?? I'd want to get the more "rare" items signed, if possible. I've got both "live action" versions of his WWF LJN poster. The regular and the more rare '89 version. I also have the April/May 1987 WWF Magazine with Hulk & Andre on the cover. And finally, his 1985 MOC Rocky Thunderlips figure. I really want to get Trish & Lita to sign my WrestleMania X8 magazine because I've got it signed by MANY other people like Ric Flair, Kurt Angle, Stacy Keibler, Big Show, Booker T, The Undertaker, Edge, Christian, DDP, The Hurricane, Kanyon, and many more. I should get 2 Trish items signed at this event and I can get more when me & my buddy go to the Hamilton Comic Con. Man, this is going to be an expensive weekend for sure, but well worth it.

I completely forgot that he narrated stand by me!!! I'm getting Dreyfuss to sign my what about bob DVD. It's on of my favourite movies of all time. As for hogan since I've met him 3 times already I'm only getting one auto from him this time. I also may get jaws signed by Dreyfuss. As of right now my list has 18 names that I'm trying to get over the course of two days which is going to be very difficult. Also I'm glad that stephen amell and Richard Dreyfuss are added to Friday as the cast of the walking dead and big Dave will take up most of my Saturday. The hogan and andre cover is classic. I actually have it signed by hulk. I attached a pic below.

very tough decisions on what to get signed for sure... and myself, if i am only going for Hogan, which seems to be the case, not even sure i want to spend my whole friday down at fan expo or not..but the $40 difference per autograph compared to the dave and busters signing is a big thing.. all depends on what i want to get signed...
if i plan on getting 2 items signed, thats $120 at fan expo + $35 entry fee...public transit vs. gas to dave and busters would cancel out.. so thats $155 vs. $200... but the amount of time, effort, lineups and such at fan expo, might make ti worth it to spend the extra $45 and just go to dave and busters to save all that time and effort.. but if i start wanting to go up to the 3, or 4 items signed, then might have to do fan expo...
i got a lot sigs in my WMx8 book as well, but not sure id want to spend much to get trish and lita, who i already have autographs from on other items....and i didnt do nash in my X8 book on sunday..
the LJN posters are definitely cool.. and ive gotten a few signed.. but ive also passed on getting a few signed recently, mostly cuz i was cheap lol...could have gotten my bret and anvil ones done over the next 2 weeks..but those are rare and worth good money on the re-sell market, so wasnt sure i wanted to get them signed..tho i did get tito on my strike force poster, which may have been stupid because of its rarity.. havent seen martel up here (i didnt go to that wrestlecon when they were both here)..
decisions decisions!

Well, I`ve got all my items packed up and ready to go. Me and a buddy are going tomorrow morning and I really hope it will be a good time. Minus all the money I will be shelling out for autographs and the various line-ups, it should be great, ha-ha.
I have figured out exactly how much I plan on spending on this event and I will break it down for you guys:
$35 admission fee 2 items signed by Hulk Hogan $120 @ $60 each 2 items signed by Trish Stratus $60 @ $30 each 2 items signed by Lita $60 @ $30 each 1 item signed by Richard Dreyfuss $45 1 item signed by Ray Wise $40
Grand total = $360
I suppose that isn't all that bad. I know some people *ahem* ARUN *ahem*, will be spending A LOT more!! Ha-Ha.
I could get more items signed, but I am comfortable with those. I am taking a little over $500 cash with me and hope to leave with some leftover. It should be a great day. I'm really looking forward to it.

Sounds awesome mr old school.
I decided im gonna go for hogan instead of getting someone to get my autos lol. Ill take my time walking there and hopefully not too big of a lineup.
If anyone wants to meet up to say hi im down. Ill probably be there from 1030 to 2 depending on how long it takes for the autographs
