Sure, I put you guys up on the frontpage, and this is the grief I get from you guys. :lol:

Not that I expected any less from you

Well if your not going to use your tickets I know someone who would appreciate them

that Gutsman gets the hint

whats in it for me?

How about the self satsifaction that you are making another transfan very happy???

Seriously though what would you like? name your price my friend.

well I like that leader megatron

sadly it doubt it can be transfered, I'll email Phelan to see if it can even be transfered. Cos I can't use it and I'd prefer a fellow seibertronian to get it.

If I get there consider it done

I was only a skeptic until Phelan reassured me.

It's still a little hard to believe that I actually scored some tickets.

My point exactly. I didn't need any reassurance. I entered that competition as soon as I read about it.

Do I get rewarded for having faith Phelan????

I don't mean to upset anyone with my posts but if you read what I posted a little while back you will see that I am filled with jealousy and I've always felt it's better to get things like this off my chest rather then repress them.

Getting them off your chest is one thing, but consider this.

I have to drive an hour to the nearest airport then fly 3 hours to Sydney.

The trip is costing me just under $700, all to see a movie.

So I was a little skeptical about entering, winning, and shelling out all that money when it COULD have been one hell of a joke, but once things were cleared up, it was all good.

Which btw, sorry if you took any offense to my doubts Phelan.

It's cost me about $350 so far. But as I told all the people who scoffed at me when I said the prize isn't expenses paid, I'm not spending $350 to see a movie, I'm spending $350 for the experience of a lifetime. MY experience of a lifetime.

And the ticket's are non-transferable also. Said so in the email I got from Phelan. So no go on passing them to someone else unfortunately.

I've got to agree with Mulla here Burn. It's not just going to see a movie it is a once in a lifetime experience (maybe more then once in a lifetime depending on sequels

) But believe me I wouldn't be going to such efforts for ANY other movie.

Hey congrats to all of you who won, I hope you enjoy it. Its nice to see a fair few members of both Seibertron and TAAU fairly well represented.

Ill be waiting the extra fortnight to watch it at the giant screen in Blacktown.. probably should buy tickets, alot of simple people live in Blacktown, and simple people love Bay films...

Trust me. I know it's probably a once in a life time experience for a lot of us.

Some of us just have to go a little bit further to get our arses there.

ahhhh FB, you brought this on yourself when you boasted how you were "going to be one of the first to see the movie hahahaha" because you were going to BotCon.

So FB ... NER NER!

If i'd known this a few weeks ago I could have got a ticket to the Origin the next night!

But i'll be damned trying to get a ticket now and end up sitting in the middle of a bunch of Roaches.

I'd take offence to that but... we are a bunch of Roaches.

Hopefully Hoffman and Bird will provide the mongrel we need to beat you guys. Still think the Blues need Lafranchi in the side tho.

Not just me. Mulla as well. Plus Felafel, Sharkysparky and Crank from TAAU have also put their hands up.

Must pop over to OzFormers to see who got tickets there, but it may just be the biggest gathering of Australian TF fans ever.

(And no FB, you can't rush out and commandeer a nuclear missile silo and aim it at Sydney.

)

So basically anyone wearing a Transformers t-shirt is from a board

Hahahahah. Just a shame my transforming Autobot/Decepticon belt buckle broke the other day. Was lining up on wearing it to my first viewing. Well, that's not true, I wore it everyday. But it's the principle of it

I just made the shirt I'll be wearing. A true fan will spot it.

It'll be interesting meeting so many like-minded people. First time for everything, right?

Good for you guys!!

I know that it must suck having to pay huge prices compared to what we pay here in the U.S., and you guys get the shaft on a lot of stuff that we get really easily in the States. Good to see that you guys actully get something good, and be rewarded for being true fans.

I don't have any TF apparel.

Could always turn up in my bright yellow Goodies shirt though.
