Gotcha.

That would require a massive uptick in preregistration and attendance.

It'll be great if we can get either Peter Cullen or Frank Welker there as well…

Bell is a good get. I know they're also discussing a possible second guest, if you need another reason to come to the convention.

Yeeeahhh!! My inlaws live in KS and they've been biting at the bit to get us over there for reasons that don't involve simply going to KS just to go. This is a great reason to visit.

Nice get! I met him at Sacramento Toy Expo in 2014 and got Classics and MP Sideswipe and Prowl signed, but I would love to get Generations Brainstorm and Combiner Wars First Aid and Bombshell signed by him now since those toys hadn't been released then.
