Cybertron Con 2012

Went to the first ever Transformers Cybertron Convention at Sentosa. It is my first ever self trip to the island. Entrance fee just pay using ezlink like using the MRT. A bit of finding the way to the convention hall and it was a breeze. I had purchase the ticket in advance so I need not have to queue again. However the craps started here onwards. You have blockers everywhere. It was difficult to take pictures and blockers even start to stand behind you that if you step backwards you step into them. Next into the merchandise section, everything are quite expensive. The toys are not impressive. They can be found outside and the Decepticon Rodimus is a collectable but costly. Only for die hard collectors. What I hate is that all the merchandises are from the movies characters. Many of them Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. I don't see how Bumblebee can be a leading character despite it been one in the movie and subsequent animation Prime. They are a redesigned vehicle. Unlike the original Transformers cartoon where there are many many other characters much better than Bumblebee.
