    Perhaps there will be a chance to get the underside of Masterpiece 36's foot signed by Frank Welker, perhaps even the arm canon. This would be a dream come true.
    If I'm around id like to take all my MP boxes and get them signed up.

    I'll probably try to go to the Toronto one next year just to see what the hype is all about.

    I was planning to go this year to Toronto and loved the 2015. Week before I was going I was in Accident and had 7 fractures in one leg. I am eager to go. Made couple commitments to TFNation and TFCon. If I feel my skills are good enough I will sell prints and artwork to fund 2017.

    Will there be actual industry people there, like Hasbro reps or VA's, or is this more of a 3P-focused event?

    It is a little of both. The guests are VA, 3rd party, and writers and artists in the comics industry. It really depends on if they can go

    I'm kind of interested in the custom contests, but honestly, if it's mainly 3P stuff (and from the looks of last years 'prizes', it will be), then I'll pass.

    After going to Charlotte and Chicago, I won't be able to make this one :( 

    If I had the time and interest in driving 9 hours, I'd rather go visit my parents in Georgia.

    It just occurred to me looking at the front page, that they showed off Megatron sitting in the Lincoln Memorial.

    I think Frank Welker is a likely guest choice, he probably had fun doing TFCon Toronto this summer and might do another round here.

    I got to meet Frank at TFCon Toronto, that was pretty awesome. It's a bit pricy sure but it's one of those rare moments in life one can treasure.

    I wouldn't count on that. Big names have kind of been reserved for the Toronto show, and Welker just appeared this year with Cullen the previous year.

    The 3rd party stuff gets a lot of coverage because it's new information coming out of the convention, but there is actually quite a large selection of official product at the convention.

    Sweet, just found this thread here. This will be my first TFCon/Washington DC visit, although i'm 2897 miles away in Vancouver. Yeah, I think i'll just fly in and rent a car for a few days.
