You’ll notice we’ve posted a few articles recently about our pals in Droidbuilders UK – and there will soon be more as we’re heading to their 2024 get together in just a few short weeks – and here’s their video from Manchester Megacon LIVE where a number of rascally robots roamed the halls, much to the delight of the crowds.
Over at the Droidbuilders website, Darren Poulson wrote about the event.
Arrived late Friday afternoon for setup, I located the entrance to the backlot of the venue. Thankfully I had done some investigation the night before on where to go, and the event organiser then sent some details through anyway. Venue staff were all friendly and super helpful which made it a whole lot easier. A quick unload of the gear and droids and a trek to the other side of the venue to find out area, and we put the stand together.
Saturday morning and off to the event. 8am start for us, to be ready to entertain the early bird ticket holders at 9am. And then the fun started. A steady stream of people coming in the doors got to say Hi to R2 and other droids. It wasn’t the busiest event we’ve ever done, as there was another comic con on at the other side of Manchester which split the crowd. Tho a lot of people ended up doing both and splitting their days.
