    I know I love it and I always find it that TFcon dealer room prices are far more reasonable the BotCon dealer room prices.

    I agree. I look forward to continuing that trend.

    I just hope people bring all their small bills to my table.

    :p

    Lots of stuff, and it's gotta go.

    Including weapons, parts, and accessories. Both TF and non-TF.

    I'm not that guy that charges $15 for a gun.

    This is being held 2 hours from where I live and I only find out about it until after it's sold out? Gahhhhhhhhh...

    Are they held in Toronto every year, by any chance?

    Please excuse my incompetence, I am a rather new TF fan and have not been aware of things such as these or how they work.

    I don't suppose anyone can explain what TFcons are all about? xD

    Haven't got the money saved up to go this year but I'll definitely look into next year.

    A place where TF fans hang out and/or buy TF stuff.

    Additional info at the website. See the event schedule to see what's planned.

    With even only $50, you can have a great time.

    Check out the various YouTube clips, they should give you some better ideas of what it's like.

    I've been to all but the very first TFCon, and using last year as a base, my guess for this year: 60 dealers ---> 75 tables

    But I'll wait for a staff member give a more official answer.

    I haven't watched it as yet so I had to ask around, it looks to me like we are a behind in Canada according to my search on the digital cable box this morning.

    An Episode called "Minus One" is the one showing TFcon Weekend on Teletoon which is the local rights holder. It would be on Friday night.

    It would still be cool if they put it on in the bar, but it won't be exactly what everyone is likely looking for.

    Since the majority of people will likely hit it up online over the weekend instead of waiting to get home, someone in the US should record the episode, then like an hour after it ends, Someone else plays the video in Canada on the TV :D 

    Unless something I said was bad. In which case, nevermind!
