I didn't care about anything third-party before TFcon, and although I do now, wanting to go in 2013 has 0% to do with reveals from third-parties or Hasbro and 100% to do with the people and the experience. Going to TFcon or Botcon solely for the toys is the wrong reason to go at all.

I think this is going to be my first ever toy convention. Sounds too good to pass up. Might fly, or take a long road trip from DC.

I voted for Super_Megatron and all I got was this stupid user title.

I've been doing it wrong for 10 years. LOL

I use to go to cons to do one walk around, do another to buy what I want and then leave.

This year I went and mingled and went to panels and had a much better experience.(I also bought)

Next year I may dive in and make it a whole weekend thing and join local board members and our American friends in some TFW after hours fun.
