The Boss
First off there's a change to the usual placing of Beez at the event - instead of being our own little stand out of the way we're joining forces with our new family members at the Namco Bandai Partners this year. That means we'll be right up in the Games area right across to possibly the most relevant thing to Code Geass to come out in the UK outside of the show: <b>Tekken 6.</b>
Don't fret though - we're our own stand but like we do at Japan Expo in Paris, it makes sense for members of the NBG to stick together. We're now on the main walkway right across from Ubisoft.
Positioning aside though, what do we have lined up for London Expo October? Well we'd be lying if I didn't say it was a really bumper event for us, bigger than any of our previous events for sure. Let's look at it all in bullet points:
- In conjunction with London MCM Expo we are proud to bring you two of the best creative minds from Japan - <b>the President of Studio BONES and Producer of Sword of the Stranger - Masahiko Minami and the Director of Sword of the Stranger - Masahiro Ando.</b>
- Signings from both guests will occur on the Beez stand once on the <b>Saturday (11:00-12:00)</b> doing a second signing each day too while <b>Mr Minami signs on the Manga stand (Saturday: 16:00-16:30 approximately for Ando-san on Beez stand and 16:30-17:30 for Minami-san on the Manga stand Sunday: Ando-san on Beez stand at 13:00-13:45 and Minami-san on Manga stand at 14:00-14:45)!</b>
- There will be both a Studio BONES panel held by Minami-san and a Sword of the Stranger panel looking at how feature length animes are made.
- We'll be holding some giveaways in conjunction with the Namco Bandai Partners as part of their Iron Fist Tournament over at the Tekken stand across from Beez/NBP's block.
- In another amazing giveaway we will be including one full-priced Beez DVD from our back catalog (sorry no Gurren Lagann's!) in just over 3000 of the goodie bags going out to early arrivers at London Expo in October. So best get there early to get in on it - which one will you end up getting?
- Beez Entertainment are also overjoyed to be working with our good friends at Bandai Channel who are holding a survey during London Expo and maybe afterwards too via the net asking some simple questions to help shape an upcoming project. Why do this barring a warm fuzzy feeling knowing your voice is being heard in Japan for this new project? Well we here at Beez are throwing in some prizes to be given out randomly drawing from anyone filling the survey in - including:
1 x Signed Gurren Lagann artbook and pencilboard by the Japanese voice actress of Yoko from Gurren Lagann
2 x Sword of the Stranger movie
Prize winners will be selected at random and will be emailed after the survey's processing is complete (we'll also post when we've drawn the winners too)!
To take part all you have to do is come to the Beez stand, we'll have it set up there, ask one of the staff otherwise for details about it and they'll direct you to where it is!
Plus - looking to do your Christmas shopping early? Well we'll be selling most of our remaining titles for 2009 at Expo including:
- Sword of the Stranger (2-DVD edition)
- Cowboy Bebop Remix set (6 DVDs)
- Code Geass Part 1 (3 DVDs)
- Code Geass Part 2 (3 DVDs)
All will be going for discounted prices (you guys know the rough pricings already, think half-way between the Gurren LE and RE prices at Expo in May for Bebop + Geass sets and far less for SotS, in limited quantity though so best come get them while you can!
