What would Auto Assembly be without one of our traditional goodie bags? This time it’s going to be our best ever! For Auto Assembly 2012 we are pulling out all the stops to offer you a stunning collection of gifts, some of which have only been available as optional add-ons to the convention tickets so it’s going to be a stunning value package and a bag that you’re all going to love.

The big difference this year is that we will be altering the availability of the goodie bag. In the past, we have made these available to everyone who has attended the convention, no matter what type of ticket they have had. However, because of the nature of some of the items and the production cost behind them and the different types of passes we are offering this year, the goodie bags are only going to be given away to paid ticket holders. Basically, the only way you will receive one of the Auto Assembly 2012 Goodie Bags is if you purchase an Adult, Youth, Senior Citizen or Dealer Pass for the convention.

The opther difference is the content of the goodie bags. In the past, some items have only been available in limited quantities. This time, everything in the bags will be available for everyone. If we do have anything in limited quantities then rather than offering these on a first come, first served basis based on your ticket number, they will be inserted randomly into the goodie bags!

We’ve got many of our “traditional” items lined up again this year and we’re beavering away talking to new companies to try to bring you some great cool stuff to give you as well as thinking up some new ideas of our own to bring you a great bundle of goodies to take home with you so no matter whether you buy anything from our dealers or not, you’ll still have some great stuff from the convention! Anyway, no doubt you all want to know what you’ll be getting from Auto Assembly 2011 so read on…

A new year, a new lanyard! The perfect way to wear and display your convention pass… We will be producing new lanyards again rather than having everyone re-using their own from last year. Your lanyard will be available for collection when you arrive along with your pass. Again we are hoping to have our lanyards and passes sponsored and we will be announcing our sponsor in the near future. If you want to sponsor these, please get in touch.

THE CYBTERTRONIAN TIMES ISSUE 13

IDW AUTO ASSEMBLY 2012 EXCLUSIVE COMIC

We don’t have any specifics yet, but we will be arranging for a convention exclusive cover variant of an IDW comic once again in partnership with Toyz And Gamez. We don’t know what series it will be from or who the cover artist will be yet, but it will be in all the packs, and for those of you who do want additional copies, they will be on sale at the convention.

AUTO ASSEMBLY 2012 COMIC

As well as the IDW Comic, we will be producing our own 24 page full colour comic! All we can say right now is that it will be an original story and we have a surprise in store for all of you…
