"Hopefully, this will be the start of the era of REAL hobby conventions here in Pampanga"

| A THANK YOU NOTE FROM TEAM TAC |
Those were the words that were given to me by my good friend and fellow hobbyist, Kevin as we talked about the events that transpired within the three days (December 28, 29, and 30) of the Toys, Anime, Cosplay and Comic Convention (known as TACCCon) at SM City Clark, Angeles City.

During those three days, Pampanga was given a chance to show what it has, either be toy collections, musical skills, creativity in arts and crafts, and I assure you we (for I am also one of the people who helped out with the event, along with the KGMAC family) delivered and even added an extra serving to the "mix". :D

| THE DISPLAY AREA |
My group, the Kapampangan Gundam, Mecha, Arts and Crafts Community (KGMAC) along with Tokusatsu Pinoy Collectors (TPC) and some individual hobbyists went all out from the start till the end of the event proper. There were gunplas (may it be straight, OOTB or out-of-the-box builds and them custom works -will feature some of them sometime-), Transformers action figures, Tokusatsu figures and memorabilia and anime figures displayed in tables and glass cabinets for three days set as "eye candies" for the con-goers.

I really think that we made all of them kids plus those "kids-at-heart" happy on those dates since a lot of people gathered round at the display areas while taking pictures of the displays and themselves with the displays at their sides. Plus, we had the opportunity to meet new people who were also interested or "in" to the hobby. TACCCon was indeed another "milestone" added to the HOBBYIST/COLLECTOR community here in Pampanga. :D

TACCCon was surely, one of the greatest hobby conventions held here in Pampanga. And it was one great opportunity for us to showcase what we have, and meet other collectors who are also from the same region. I, for one, am happy to see that the Hobbyist/Collector community in Pampanga is growing at a steady pace and having events such as TACCCon helps us in encouraging/motivating people who want to start in the hobby and meet other collectors as well.
Being a part of this project has been fun. Even though the team had its shares of ups and downs, we still pushed on... Pushed on to do what were set to do which is to "SPREAD THE PlaMo LOVE".
In behalf of all the KGMAC members who participated that day, I would like to say THANK YOU to TEAM T.A.C. for giving us this opportunity and we will NEVER EVER FORGET that the KGMAC family, have been a part of TACCCon 2012.
