    That would be nuts.

    Seriously why hasn't Hasbro made TFCon the main convention already?

    Hasbro probably doesn't want anything to do with TFCon with its association with 3rd party companies.

    We are planning on having an exclusive toy for sale at TFcon Chicago. Will be a short run of 50 with 3 of them being a lucky draw with special paint apps and weapons for each lucky draw

    Wish I knew someone personally whose gone! I've never been and wouldn't mind going but feel like I'd be lost. Haha. Not to mention my significant other isn't a fan and I def don't want to go alone. Hmm.... maybe some day.

    This will most likely be my first con year - is there a list / breakdown of the major cons and how they differ somewhere?

    The area actually isn't bad. There's a bunch of food places, and Bars. But late at night in the entertainment section, which is like a fifteen maybe twenty minute walk from the Hotel, only Kings is open. But there's other places nearby that are good like this one Italian place that is like fifteen or twenty minutes from the hotel. The area is safe, all in all, and I'm kind of hoping to go this yeAr but not sure if I can swing it between NYCC and TFcon Toronoto.

    I plan to attend TFCon in 2016 instead of BotCon. I can easily drive to Chicago in ~ 2 hours. I went to BotCon in 2015, and it will be good to go to TFCon in 2016 to compare the two.
