Some sort of giveaway competition might be good? LIke a raffle. I imagine because of the flim a lot of attendees would be kids, so maybe even stuff like a bouncy castle / candyfloss machine etc.

Hundred and thousands and chocolate buttons Dave. Oh but you didn't mean the trifle did you?

How about a display table showcasing customs with obviously a list of who contributed which particular custom being kept handy.

A list would not be needed as they can form the basis of the giveaway Baron mentioned
A giveaway might be possible, for special pre-order tickets or something?
How about a customs/ collectors auction?

What about involving the HM Armed Forces toys?

Then it becomes a military show and not one about brands that are tied by family bonds.
If other rival toy companies are involved, the less likely Hasbro would acknowledge this is a convention was for their product.

When I meant a customs display I was thinking of more of a showcase rather than to auction off donated pieces.

I realise where you were coming from Ironblood, a Custom showcase would be a given, the general auction was just another suggestion. However if the auction contained things that are normally unobtainable through conventional methods, like customs, I think it could prove quite popular.
Would a timed custom creation event be of interest to anyone?

Sounds a killer idea
Although I don't think I personally would have the skills to be involved in such a thing...but something I'd love to watch!
