Oz Comic Con – Brisbane 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Last Saturday we headed to the city to attend the first Brisbane Oz Comic Con<\/a>! While our main goal of the day was to get the last of our SG-1 autographs from the lovely Chris Judge, we also wanted to check out how it fared against other Brisbane conventions (mainly Supanova<\/a> LBR) and what the stalls had to offer in the form of precious loot! Photos of the event were of course taken to share just a slice of what I came across on the day \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Our modest loot from the day – Boyfriend got a samurai sword based off Inuyasha’s Tessaiga. I bought the first manga from the series ‘Say I Love You’ which I’ve been reading online.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I know there was a lot of promotion behind this event and I think they pulled off a really decent convention with great guest stars and good variety of stalls with a bit of something for everybody. The only thing I was kinda disappointed about (and this is just a personal thing) was there wasn’t many anime figurines in stalls and those that did had pretty limited stock. All in all I think it was definitely worth checking out and I hope it comes back next year bigger and better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
